This game is driving me mental!!! I get to level 6 every time I play but I always lose my power ups before getting there!!! I reckon level 6 would be quite easy powered up, but the motherships along with all the other bullets being fired is just too much to dodge for me . I'm gonna keep trying every night until I finish this damn game .

Level 6 is anything but easy, even when you're packing. The motherships are absolutely the worst part, if you can get past the two which charge down the screen at you though, you're away. After you beat the game, choosing continue starts you from Level 0 - Level 1 with mad scrolling and insane colours... then you're back to Level 6. You don't get to keep any of the 20+ lives you get from winning the game though

Just finished it ;D ;D ;D! I lost a couple of lives on Level 5 but managed to power up again and went on to finish the game!!! Level 6 is a lot easier if you're powered up, but I lost a life right at the end after what I thought was the final boss, nasty surprise that!!! Luckily a weapon power up (number 6 too!) appeared as soon as I respawned so I blasted through the final boss. And I managed the top spot!!!! My score: 4,178,890. I'm sure this will get beaten eventually, A one life run would give loads more enemies to kill!!!

Congratulations, I've seen you guys talking about this game a lot in the last few weeks so I fired it up on an emulator to check it out. I never had or played this game as a kid so it's not one of my favorites. However, it seemed like a challenging game. Good job!

I didn't have an SMS as a kid, never even played one until a few years back . I find new favourite games every time I have a gaming session and this is one of my new favs. Tough game but well worth sticking with! Hitting the scrolling beat em ups next .

For me it's usually hard to get into an old game I never played. I just found a new favorite a few months back though. Mr. Do! the arcade version. My opinion of Mr. Do! was based off the Colecovision game and I always thought it looked so stupid but the arcade version is awesome.

Time to get back to the one life runs I managed, then!
Yeah, the bit before the final boss is properly evil, just dropping the busted turrets on you without any warning! After all the effort to get that far and there's a high chance you'll get hammered if you fall for it.

Just tried Power Strike again today and damn I'm out of practise. Only managed level 3 as I've not played it for a few months. I'm determined to finish this one. Time to put in a few hours over the weekend! No way am I happy with 3rd place....

New high score! I was going for a 1-life run with weapon #1, which I'm sure I did several years ago, but died in stage 4 when some nasties decided instead of going off screen they'd sit at the bottom of the screen spewing bullets. Got tagged trying to clean them up. Then went back to #1 and died trying to get through stage 5 with it not powered up enough to take out orange bullets. Helloooo #2 my old friend and a new high score!
