This page is intended to be used as a strategy guide for anybody that has become addicted to the game known as LaserAge. If you haven't heard of it before, follow the link here. It will take you to Ingava's site where you can download it. You should bookmark this site for reference after you too, have become addicted. LaserAge itself is much like the old arcade table game called Galaga. Me and my friends used to play it in the local coffee shop for hours on end. That was before we were allowed into bars and became a bunch of party animals. Not to say that playing games in arcades and coffee shops leads to such behavior, that's just what happened to us. I suppose that I should be writing this in a bigger font so that anybody who can remember that far back can read it. I'm also getting way off of the subject at hand. My ramblings are getting the best of me, but if you're still reading this, it must have struck a chord in your heart. On to the meat of the subject...
Here, you will find a comprehensive, screen by screen description of LaserAge and strategies to beat it. These strategies have been developed by me during extensive research (goofing off), and are not necessarily going to work for everybody. That's why I call it a guide. It's intended to give information on LaserAge and helpful hints on how to stay alive and score well. Remember it's only fun until someone loses... their job because they stayed up night after night playing games.
The nuts and bolts... Ingava doesn't actually specify any minimum requirements for running LaserAge. I would recommend that you use a computer. It has been found that LaserAge runs at varying speeds with different computer configurations. For instance, I use a Pentium 166 MHZ and 32 MB of RAM with an S3Virge 2 MB video card and it runs at a pace that I can keep up with. (The old reflexes aren't what they used to be). I also have a PentiumII 400MHZ and 96 MB of RAM with a screaming 3D video card, (I'm not sure of the specs on it), and I get killed within a short period of time. Usually around wave 20, or so. A guy that calls himself Orojake has changed the drivers for his video card on his AMD-450 MHZ computer to slow things down for him. His scores are a little higher than mine, we'll see about that :). I'll include a page with different configurations that work as the intelligence comes in and link it here.
