- I absolutely loved that game! My friend Mr. Myst and I played Paradroid
- for hours and hours.
-
- And, BTW, yes it is stupid to attempt to lock the 001 onto a 999, but it
- is possible and can be done. I've done it several times. It involves
- quite a bit of strategy, and a whole ton of luck (ie, you get three
- splitters, and the 999 gets some blocks, and some color changing arrows)
- but I have done it.
-
- Come to think of it, one of the best tips for that game (when taking over
- a new robot) is that you wait until time is almost out before you do
- anything. The computer opponent has already used most of or all of his
- "shots" and then you can easily take your shots to take over the robot.
