This might be a dumb question but,
Why does the Jungle King's hair change color every level?

You know, I have to wonder if there are other people out there like me, who will say 'YOIKS! And away!' like Daffy Duck in Robin Hood Daffy during the first stage.

Unknown if this was a glitch or intended effect (because it is easily altered so it doesn't happen ala Jungle Hunt).  It DOES happen in the original arcade game, tho...so MAME is accurately emulating the effect.

I've been making some dumb mistakes that have prevented me from doing better...

Got lucky on this game. 2nd round of vines I missed the last one BUT I hit the very edge of the water and it gave me the credit for a dive.

I developed Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome when I inexplicably lost four successive lives spanning two games in trying to rescue the girl.

Anybody understand how the points how calculated when killing a croc?
Sometimes is 100 or 200.

Thanks

Just a heads up folks that week 7 will be a late start tomorrow due to the fact that I will be out of town tomorrow morning.

Depends on how many you've killed consecutively (<4=100,4+=200) and whether you struck when it's jaws are open (add 100 to previous amount).
