[net.games.video] Use the Force--for how much?

knudsen@ihnss.UUCP (11/01/83)

I've rread several places that Star Wars gives you a bonus
for flying thru the trench without shooting any fireballs.
Since that uses up a lotta shields above Level 2, I'd like to know:
1) How much is the bonus?  Does it vary with levels?  Is it
operative at all levels?  I usually start at 3.
2) To qualify, do you have to refrain from shooting at all,
hit just the red fire turrets on the sides, or what?
3) Why doesn't the game advertise this bonus (the way the
50,000 for clearing all towers is)?  Maybe it does in the
"entice" sequence; I've never seen a StarWars game idle
long enuf to know if it has such a display!

Might as well post replies to net, as they re of general interest.
