Java skills I could make an applet that lets you scroll around the Pixels large and I'm not sure how to display it here. I recently finished cleaning up the world map. Over a year since the last update huh? I'll see what I can do Look for the green circle in the bottom right corner. I'll put the 1-up bonus on its own map, but Purely luck and not something I can repeat with any consistency.Ĭheck out the spiffy map section. I just can't do it! If I do manage to get all eight it's On the fun side I attempted several times to destroy the tankįormation on the first level (just north-west of your starting I need to label thoseįormations to indicate on what levels they appear. One is in the bottom left corner on the road. I encountered a new tank formation on level 6 yesterday. I also added his strategy for taking out the tank formation on I added that and labeled the six formations to indicate on which Interested send me a mail using the link to the left and I'll get you I got a mail from reader Rick Kuszewski that is looking to sell his While I'm doing links, here's a few more to other Time Pilot '84 Suggested I link to the Twin Galaxies high score page for TP84. I've had this sitting in my inbox for a few months now. Thanks to those visitors that have dropped me a line about the site. I also noticed that the site recently hit its 10th year in existence. Of course if you're reading this you know the site is still reachable at. To save money I let the top level domain lapse. When did this turn into a blog? What is this, the 90s?
