Re: Atari Gravitar walkthrough + tips (videos)

Thanks man. Appreciated.

This arcade game was in my local shopping mall when I was around 12. And I swear, all the kids there were able to get to the invisible levels... it was nothing special. Only one guy went through all 4 solar systems. I still haven't done it, after all these years.

Gravitar has a reputation of being extra difficult game but I don't agree. If you're good with the Asteroids-type 5-button controlling system you'll learn Gravitar fast.

After you get a "knack" of it, the flying becomes really enjoyable. It's not frustrating at all... it only requires some practice. It's incredibly deep and satisfying game. Pure skill, tactics and controls.

But learning the 5-button system is essential. I can't imagine that anyone could play this with cursor buttons or joystick (god forbid).

I use:
Z- LEFT
X- RIGHT
SPACE- SHIED/TRACTOR BEAM
SLASH- THRUST
RIGHT SHIFT- FIRE

This combo places the buttons just like in original.
