just a crappy 39830 for me - got to learn to fly better

Me suck at this game! Never did like it 25 odd years ago... 16350 Maybe i should read the manual! Nah! this game is weak! Good luck to all in season 3!

OK now about my 1000th try!!! most of which I couldn't get past screen 2 without losing a life (evil opcode programming I'm sure!!! - any way a final score for me of 77330 good luck to all...

Why do I always find these pre-orders AFTER they are filled If you make more than 50 I'll take one.

About my 100th attempt from my 'yellow' cart . I don't do patterns and get to greedy trying to get all the ghosts everytime - 74090. I expect to see you 'great' players double this score! This is a fantastic game from Opcode - order a black cart if you haven't already.

That wasn't cheating! There was a similar situation at Game 1B - GORF post #5 & 6. I think this not in sense of the game, but "legal". Actually most people do consider it cheating. It's called "camping" or "spawning". Just had a similar judgment call on the A8 HSC. It's up to you though. The bad thing about doing that is that it turns games into simply a time endurance contest instead of progressing through the levels as was originally intended. Like I said... above... but then again if you play the current game and 'hang around' (ie 'camping') and move around until you group the ghosts - isn't that the same thing? On one hand I did make progress in the game (made it to the first idol screen) but did 'camp' on a screen until I had to progress... I'm sure that players better than me could score a 'million' points or more if they used this technique. Bottom line for me is that I won't do it again - it just doesn't 'feel' right. I'm having a lot of fun playing my Coleco again and having friendly competition amongst my atariage friends!

OK hmmm got to be honest here... Screen 1: punch 'Bolangi the gorilla' a bunch of times, get 20K points or so. get bored and the gorilla punches me runs around and fall into a pit. Screen 2 & 3 water and snakes bypass these screens Screen 4: Bolangi again! punch him every 4.5 - 5 seconds for what seems like hours... another 50K or so in points - now at 70+ K. slip up on a punch and the gorilla hits me again and goes running around and falls into a pit... Screen 5: water again darn go to next screen Screen 6: Hunter screen! yea! Punch hunter for 30 minutes (yes every 5 seconds or so...) get score to 300K+ Finally decide to go to the 'idol' screen and finally die there. Score: 345750 (hard to see but can just make it out) Now all that being said was that cheating or using a bug in the game? Part of me says yes, part no - I'll let MR VCS decide.

I've read this tread before and ... well sometimes I just suck at everything! Doesn't matter which game I play or which system... I just need to walk away from the system and try again tomorrow.

Terrible first score (and GAME!!!). I would have 'killed' myself back years ago If I'd spent 29.95 + tax on this game Anyway 44,000 Gads! must do much better! please!... anybody.... pass this score...

Woo-Hoo broke 300K! 317270 to be exact.

New hi score for me - 230010 lost my last two lives on a bit of bad luck. hmmm... maybe I can get to 300K before this is over...

217550! wow it's tough the higher after 'level 2'! I'm very impressed with higher scores!!!

New high score for me 145,760

OK - first to post - an 'average' score - been many years since I've played this - had 2mil+ on level 1 and 120K on 2 - a bit rusty after 10-20 year layoff... anyway 102400 Coleco rules!

OK made it to level 5 with 3 lives and... couldn't finish the level! Just a few 'blocks' left to run over... Sigh... 15,585 (and I'm glad I was fast with the camera... the 'refresh' screen is fast on this game!) I checked my records (on computer punch cards! - boy does that date me ) and it indicated that my high score from years ago was 14030 Level 6 so at one time I made it there!

Hmmm not sure why the last post is shown twice... sorry.!

QUOTE (Mister VCS @ Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:52 AM) 9,890 at level 4. This is a fun game but a little bit frustrating. Is a higher score than 3,050 possible at level 1? On a few occasions I managed to get 3,150 on Level 1. Not sure how to "quote here" but cut and paste seems to work... My high score after level 1 is 33?? - maybe 3350?! After level 2 6650... but I think a score of 6750 is possible... Anyone with more info?

OK - last week I was in the 13K-14K RANGE AND THOUGHT I'D FIGURED OUT A WAY TO BEAT LEVEL 5. AND OF COURSE!!! NOW I CAN GET PAST LEVEL 2-3!!! without losing 2-3 lives!!!! Arghhhhh! Hope I get an OK score in before Wednesday deadline.... :-( I'd appreciate a pic of level 6 in case I don't make it (Thanks in advance).

58,680 for me a few days ago. Lately I've been to greedy trying to get a perfect score early and end up around 25K

28806 - a bit better than the 19800 and change I got yesterday.

Got mine today also. Tough choice - play Turbo for the high score club OR play PMC... . . . Nah... not really, playing PMC for now. Excellant work Eduardo! my years long wait is over! Later got to go play some more...

"I would just like to mention that anyone who lets me know when they receive their copy will automatically be put in the waiting list for our next release, namely Gulkave." Excellant! Can't wait to receive my yellow cart so I can reply! Thanks Eduardo! and Thanks Luc!

42,500 - see story below if interested... "Can I safely assume that one should not purposely utilize the quick ladder climb technique by moving the stick up and down rapidly? That would be exploiting a bug. Just want to be certain on this since it makes the game vastly easier." speak for yourself! I'm semi decent at some of these games but none of the bugs like this help me! Speaking of this particular bug... I think I 'discovered' it the first day I had my coleco back in the early 80's - although back then I just thought it was just 'a special feature' not mentioned in the manual. Using it has become so ingrained in my play that it was very difficult not to use it! So not using it was tough. At first I'd accidently use it and have to start over. Anyway the above score was achieved without any fast climbs and is my best score on this level. So compared to other scores using the fast climb didn't help me much at all.

I get paid this Friday (writes note to set aside some money for new game) and fortunately I don't have many bills right now!! Hope we can play the game in the high score club.
