bigbee99 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'll draw 1st blood again I've never been able to get a handle of Do's Castle. 15,000. Maybe I will get better this week, but who knows. Do's Wild Ride on the other hand, I've put some time in on this one but nothing to awesome. 48,483 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm still on my European work-vacation but hopefully I can find some time to devote to these games on my travel MAME rig. I had an improved Mappy score last night but unfortunately the cheap-o hotel I was staying at outside of Venice didn't have internet and for some reason my Blackberry doesn't like the new forum layout and won't let me read or post messages on AA. On an unrelated note, if I see ONE more European dude with a faux-hawk and popped collar, he's getting a punch in the dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Mr. Do's Castle: 6,260 Mr. Do's Wild Ride: 13,553 (Tip: use the sprint button sparingly, since it doubles the timer's countdown. It's best to tap it and use it in short bursts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Whoa!! The fourth board kicked the crap out of me. Mr. Do Wild Ride - 23,778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Whoa!! The fourth board kicked the crap out of me. There is some memorization to it. But even then, there are some random elements to the game that can generate impossible scenarios sometimes. I peaked at 67k when TGI had this game as one of their Decathlon games. There were some scores just over 100k though. I am irritated with the games this week already lol. Not that I've put a lot of time in them already, they are just not my cup of tea. I do have a small Do's Castle improvement though. 20980 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) 28,739 Would've been higher, but using the X-Arcade with these 4-way games are a pain sometimes because it'll get "stuck"....

patbb Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) wild:28,306 I just notices that the letters on the top, next to the Goal, changes every time you eat a cherry.

patbb Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 BTW, is it just me or does it seem like we ALL get stuck on stage three in Wild Ride? I personally think that level 3 is the easiest. -You take the most right elevator up one level and go up the ladder, on the left, to avoid the car(s). -Then you take the same elevator to the next level, move left, avoid the cars and take the first elevator (the one completely the left) and go down 1 level. (Here make sure that no car are coming your way before going down.) -Then you go left and follow the path to the Goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Here's how I do round 3 I also did a clip for round 4 and 5 I couldn't do a quick video of round 6. I am still having trouble with it sometimes. I can't remember how I did it before. My 48k run did end on round 6 but I was lucky with a special on Round 1 which gives 10k B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I do remember that after round 6 the game loops back to round 1 with a few new little things. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I started trying to get better points on the 1st two levels. I had 14k on round one and I got the 8k special on a later round. Do Castle 48600 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patbb Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Would've been higher, but using the X-Arcade with these 4-way games are a pain sometimes because it'll get "stuck".... What you need to do is to change the joystick to a 4/8 way stick. Stick that you should use ... that's the one I use (but not on a x-arcade). http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html how to do it video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jeZe_w4OfA Edited September 30, 2011 by patbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes to sense to open it up and flip it around every time I need to play a four way game..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patbb Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 ^^Not with this joystick, you can change the 8way/4way from the top. What you do is just pull the stick up then turn it one direction for 8 way and in the other direction for 4 way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
