DaveD Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) This game needs a smart bomb. Or a superzapper or something. I'm actually really enjoying this one though. Lots of little details and hidden things that slowly reveal themselves with each play. Except I haven't figured out how to earn the letters to spell EXTRA. Once I missed it by just the E but no clue how I scored the rest. 45,445 so far. Actually I think I figured out the EXTRA. You earn the letter highlighted when you bounce a white monkey off a see saw. Edited February 18, 2014 by DaveD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 32,945 Dave is correct. To get the extra to earn each highlighted letter when a white monkey is bounced off a see-saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 So I hunted down the flyer to see if it offered any tips. It reads like a bad translation from Japanese. It doesn't even sound like it's describing the same game at times. http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=3170&image=2 Anyone else think its strange you should have to both press the direction and jump button to move? It's not like he can walk or turn around. All he does is jump. I wonder if that could be simplified by mapping the jump button to the same as the directional controls in MAME so all you'd have to do is press the direction to make him jump and move.

DaveD Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Got a score 3k more than what I posted. Don't think it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things. So did everyone figure out how to get the hidden bags of money? First level the gopher dude comes out. Second level you jump onto the rhinos. Third level?

I don't believe there were any on the third level. One more 5k point bag was available on the next level, however, by hopping on the back of the large turtle.

Deteacher Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's the end of this week's game. Putting the new one up now. Had a MAME emergency and spent most of the day working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
