Interested! One of my kids loves the Gremlins movies, and has a birthday in the spring. Since I can't seem to get a copy of Astro Grover, this would be a great gift instead!

Anyone have experience buying from this seller? I'm a little worried the product might not make it out of Venezuela, given what's taking place down there right now.

I like the stock controllers for most games, and have used the Best Electronics materials to rebuild some. Always interesting to read comments of people saying the stock controllers are terrible for certain games...and then I end up winning some of the AA high score contest rounds while playing the games using the stock controller.

265,040 points.

I wasn't keeping track, but I think it took around an hour.

314,565 points!

I used a stock controller.

Impressive score, Cafeman. I've been playing some more but can't seem to beat my last score. I think I know who's going to win this round!

Did a little better: 187,335 points!

167,465 points!

306,650 points. The stock controller starts to hurt after a while (using the fire button so much)!

586,250 points. Got to "Level 10" (the level count only goes up to 9). Starting at Level 9, there are no torches, you have to go through the levels completely in the dark!

265,650 points. Seems like each level gets darker sooner. I was on a screen with a torch but couldn't figure out how to get to it (couldn't remember the pattern of where the small platforms were)!

Maybe it is the joystick, but it also takes some practice to get good at directing (and redirecting) a ball to hit the bricks on one of the edges without freeing up one of the other balls. I'm using a standard CX52 right now, and it's behaving very well for me (not jittery or anything!). Glad you were able to track down a copy of the game!
