RangerG Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I wonder why my background is orange? It should be green, right? I used a cart and the multicart and it is orange on both, so does this mean it is my monitor? But, adjusting it makes it different shades of orange. Could it be the console -- any ideas?

MrBubble Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 From a tip guide: When playing watch the Mad Bomber rather than the bombs; he drops them from where he currently is. As long as the bombs make contact with the bucket they will be extinguished; they don't have to actually be caught in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 463 is the best I'll do until I hook up my real 5200. A mouse is not as good as the analog stick / paddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine starts out green as it should, but after a few games it changes to darkening shades of red. Almost a brick red. My voltage regulator is failing and I have replacements on the way. Incidentally, I am playing sparingly until it is repaired. This started during the last round. Anyways, I got a 790 with regular stick.

MrBubble Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Bah, 520 and I have no more chances to play. Great game. The 5200 controller really works well for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 3,750 Great game. The 5200 controller really works well for this one.I dunno, it really seems to demand a paddle controller for me. Thankfully, it's not too hard to make one if you have a CX-52 and an Atari VCS paddle to sacrifice to the cause. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks to Zylon I fixed my background. It was a simple adjustment of the color pot, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm really starting to hate this game! I put a couple of hours into it this week, and was not able to improve my score that I recorded last Friday! I played off and on all week a little bit each night to no avail. I can attest that having a paddle controller is no guarantee of success. I keep getting stuck at the 7 point scoring stage, I simply cannot make it past that without losing a bucket, and then its all downhill from there. (yes I know the stage 6 scoring strategy). I feel like if I could just once cruise through level 7, I could be competing for the top spot in this round. One of the annoying quirks about the design of this game is the fact that the game is harder when you die. Yes, you go back one stage, but you lost a bucket in doing so, AND you also score fewer points by regressing a level, making it harder to get to the next 1000 point free bucket. The end result is that the game is over real quick once you lose your first bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 5,896. For the past couple weeks, this is the most I've played any version of Kaboom. Was shooting for a 4k game and nearly broke 6k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 ^^ You should really try a custom controller on this one. I use one normally, but am sticking to regular stick just for kicks this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
