Unfortunately, AtariAge doesn't seem to have a manual online for this game, but fortunately, SpiceWare has provided some scans of the manual (although it doesn't have any real hints in it anyways). in the first two levels, I deliberately avoided rescuing the second reindeer, so I could repeat those levels and get a few more points. I think you can go through the first level a maximum of three times without running out of energy, assuming you pick up all of the items that help to replenish your energy. I can get through the first two levels without losing any lives, but then I crash and burn at the beginning of the third level-- I invariably get trapped by a house or street post. You can loop the 1st level twice, then you will run out of energy. >5000 points are possible here. You maybe could loop the 2nd level forever, if you would be able to avoid the 2nd rendeer before the hat. But then you have to avoid the accelerator during the 2nd loop and you will run out of energy then. It seems that you might be able to loop the 3rd level more than two times and even pick up the hat more than once. I once managed to pick up a 2nd hat in one life, but the game didn't (intentionall?) count it. The game is purposely designed in a few places so that there are rewards for missing reindeer - for example (not to give anything away...), there is an extra life (santa hat) after the 2nd reindeer on the 2nd level. (Regarding looping the second level) It is possible to avoid that 2nd reindeer, if you jump at just the right time you can jump underneath him. And I would think that to loop the level forever you would *need* to pick up the accelerator (at least) two times, to max out the speed, so you don't run out of energy. --Ze_ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Wasn't expecting this! I recommended it as "Christmas In July". It's a tad late for that, but we'll still have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 23,375! As for helpful hints, obviously, you want to find the items to keep your health up. So, make a note of where the goodies are. Make a map of the level so when you're presented with a choice of path, you'll pick the right one. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
