Vocelli Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 We are back in the arcade! Kangaroo.... I like the game in the arcade but on the 2600 I had trouble with the controls. Feel free to spam those monkeys and Bells/Fruits for max points. Also, enjoy the 1 Level Challenge on Popeye. You can PM me with your own 1 Level challenge and I might use it this Season or future seasons. Running out of Quarters.... Next week (Week 8 ) is the last week in the arcade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 With the Popeye bonus challenge, I'm assuming the frying technique is off limits, as well as the scoring bug, correct? Just wanted to clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariWarlord Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Kangaroo 5,500 Popeye 12,200 In Popeye, is it possible to catch all 20 hearts in the 500 point range for a 10,000 point gain on hearts alone? Because there are several hearts that fall completely outside of Popeye's reach within that range. I've been playing this version for over 30 years and I've never once seen a situation where one could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing this version for over 30 years and I've never once seen a situation where one could do that. It is not possible to get all hearts in the 500 point range. The first one, alone, is always out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hiya gang! So yeah, I've gone away to Another Anime Con, and unfortunately it's not as great as I hoped. I should've stayed home and saved my money for Pokemon: Let's Go Evee, but I'll get that when I get home. At any rate, I won't have any scores up until tomorrow night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Found my groove on Kangaroo: 112,800! Once you figure out the safe areas, you can rack up points. I just got greedy and starting taking unnecessary risks. Took me about 45 minutes to get that score, so rolling it will be even more gruelling than the defender bonus from last week.

AtariWarlord Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Kangaroo 8,000. I never know if it's better to wait to post until I get a more competitive score or just post every time I improve. If I waited to catch up with some of you guys, I'd probably never post .

Leto27 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 When I saw Kangaroo I though It is mandatory that I play and post a score, so I borrow a computer and install Stella and after more that one hour and still eleven lives left (after 8 lives you get that messed indicator) I achieve 190900 points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leto27 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 This season is looking better than the last one, so far an excellent selection of games I hope that the shovelware does not stink so much. Popeye 14450 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
