- I don't know about the ozric tentacle as I've never got past level 86, but I
- do know how to get a big score. On the level where there is a Mandelbrot set
- which fires off LOADS of homing missiles, kill off all but the M-set and
- run around in circles with your fire direction locked. The Mandelbrot set
- and the missiles follow you round and each time you do a circle you can kill
- a few missiles. If you get the timing right, you can also let your fire
- direction change as you go around so that you don't hit the Mandelbrot set,
- but just the missiles. That's the way I know of to get infinite points.
