Northcoastgamer Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 22,990 To start with. From level 4 on, the slope after the bridge on the waterfall pass screen is like ice, watch your step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Heres a video of the lazy lagoon. Perhaps it will help. The fish seem to be like electric eels, when they turn yellow, you can't jump on them. I got through quickly on this one, sometimes you have to wait on the island for the fish to change from yellow back to red, in order to proceed. 001.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a review of the game on youtube, I think I can get past it now. I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 So I just read the manual and I had no idea that those were coconuts and not barrels, and that you could hide in the mole holes and get points for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I love these Let's Compare videos. The ColecoVision version is probably the best home port. Surprising that it's better than Sega's own SG-1000 version, when the systems were near identical technically. For some reason Sega tried to make it (even) more (shamelessly) like Donkey Kong.

jblenkle Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 This game is getting frustrating...can't get past the fish on Screen 3. I've hopped on one, but can never land right on the second fish. (yes, I watched the video)... I noticed also that if you keep running around your score keeps going up...but it balances out as your timer also keeps counting down and you don't get a big bonus for time remaining. I'll give it one more shot then I'm through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
