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.

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.

It is not possible to get all hearts in the 500 point range. The first one, alone, is always out of reach.

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.

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.
