This is my best try at the highest difficulty level of Beam Rider, and I admit that was extremely lucky. I've reached sector 16 which show enemies I've never seen before. For example, in sector 16, the yellow X acts like a magnet that want your ship crashing into it, you have to immediatly move in the opposite direction to avoid it..

To start the game, simply move the joystick up, the rest is just avoid obstacles and kill the 15 white enemies as fast as you can in order to not stay too long in this insane and deadly zone. Save the rockets for the boss, but you can use them before if you are in trouble.

This game is all about reflex and random chance because of all the random obstacles popping in the game, each one incredibly fast and indestructible.

I highly suggest to play this game at a low difficulty level... unless your goal is to yell at your tv screen.

Even if it's conter intuitive, holding fire button to shot constantly is NOT a good strategy. You have to predict where the enemies are going and shoot when it's appropriate, not all the time, because you can one shoot one laser beam or rocket at a time.
