TRIVIA

Condor Attack is an extremely rare video game.

SCORING

There are 6 galactic disintegrator firebases at your disposal. Points are scored by destroying the enemy as they soar above or swoop in to attack you. Different points are given for size of enemy destroyed and the level of difficulty which you have obtained in your defense of the firebase. As your progress to each level, Condors, Spiders and Bats will appear with varying frequency, but will increase the rate of descent and greatly vary the pattern of attack, even disappearing on one side of the screen and reappearing on the other side.
Points are scored in values as follows
Upper Steady Attacker (small) 3
1. Level of Difficulty (large) 10
2. Level of Difficulty (large) 20
3. Level of Difficulty (large) 40
4. Level of Difficulty (large) 50
5. Level of Difficulty (large) 60
6. Level of Difficulty (large) 70
7. Level of Difficulty (large) 80
8. Level of Difficulty (large) 90
9. Level of Difficulty (large) 99
Extra firebases can be earned by achieving consercutive 1000 points levels (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, etc.) up to a maximum of 9 additional firebases.
