MORE OYAMAFAMILY'S TIPS: Solution for Level 8 (for Main Score - Game 2) 1. Pay attention in the White Clouds, according to Figure 1. When the clouds are on the right side of the screen, knock a gorilla off its feet (the plane is positioned according to Figure 2). Then, rescue 1 turtle & 1 cat. 2. Go up until another gorilla, according to Figure 3. Then, knock it to rescue 1 duck. After this, wait until the gorilla gets back on its feet. Then, position your plane according to Figure 4 (wait the clouds move away from the left side of the screen). Knock the gorilla and rescue 2 rabbits to save your time (For this step, 1 rabbit is enough to get 500 points plus extra fuel via rescuing the 1st group of 4 different animals), and wait until the gorilla returns on its feet. 3. Knock the gorilla (Figure 3) to rescue 1 of 2 remaining ducks. Then, go back to starting scene (remember: be careful with the clouds). 4. Knock the gorilla (Figure 2) and then rescue 1 turtle and 2 cats to save your time (for this step, rescuing 1 cat complete the 2nd group of 4 different animals). Wait until the gorilla returns to the normal state. Knock it again (Figure 2) to rescue the last turtle. 5. Go up until another gorilla, according to Figure 3. Then, knock it to rescue the last duck. After this, wait until the gorilla gets back on its feet. Then, position your plane (Figure 4 - wait the clouds move away from the left side of the screen). Knock the gorilla and rescue the last rabbit. This solution will help to score a bit more than 2700 points in one level. 6. ATTENTION!! Gorillas can move to another side. So, be careful!!

52,630 - Game 2!!!

Wait , I am a bit confused. I have been on this site for one month. I try to get high scores and challenges. But "oyamafamily" offers a new challenge. Will I actually get points for the "oyamafamily" challenge? If others offer challenges then doesn't this open a big can of worms? I am confused. Sorry, please someone explain this to the new guy (ME). Vocelli, the challenges which I posted are for all participants. According to 2600 HSC Rules, members MAY present their own challenges. For extreme settings (Game 3 - Difficulty A), the rule is (see the examples): 1st place - 4200 (Player 1) [5 bonus point] 2nd place - 4000 (Player 2) [4 bonus point] 3rd place - 3400 (Player 3) [3 bonus point] 4th place - 3000 (Player 4) [2 bonus point] 5th place - 2500 (Player 5) [1 bonus point] 6th place - 2000 (Player 6) [1 bonus point] ...and so fourth. For this example, players who score less than 2500 points (5th place) on Game 3 will get 1 bonus point for this challenge.

OYAMAFAMILY'S TIPS: 1. Try to rescue one of each type of animal consecutively (1 cat, 1 turtle, 1 rabbit, and 1 duck). You don't need to rescue these animals in sequence. You will get 500 points for each group of 4 different animals, plus extra fuel. Speaking about the fuel: KEEP AN EYE!! Else...you will lose a life via running out of fuel! 2. Study the level matrix for Game 2, remembering the gameplay starts on Level 3: LEVELS 3 & 4 -> Clouds in the sky at normal quantity; plane at normal speed LEVELS 5 & 6 -> Clouds in the sky at normal quantity; plane at fast speed LEVELS 7 & 8 -> Clouds in the sky at double-quantity; plane at fast speed This game repeats Level 8 once you clear this stage. 3. Special tip for beginners: On regular settings (Game 2 - Clouds in Sky), choose Difficulty "B" / Novice, because your plane travel at low speed, and you will score more points easily. For skilled players, try to play Game 3 with Difficulty "A" (Expert). 4. The plane speed DON'T change at the moment you move the Difficulty Switch from "B" (Novice) to "A" (Expert), and vice-versa. It changes after pressing "Game Reset" button, or clearing the current level. 5. On Game 3 / Difficulty A, try to follow these steps below for Levels 5 & 7: Knock the gorilla off its feet (Figure 1). Then, try to rescue 3 turtles & 3 cats in sequence. Go up until another gorilla at the top. Be careful with the clouds; avoid hitting the obstacles! Knock the gorilla (Figure 2). Then try to rescue 3 rabbits and 3 ducks in sequence. 6. Try to follow these steps for Levels 6 & 8 (Game 3 / Difficulty A): Knock the gorilla off its feet (Figure 3). Then, try to rescue 3 turtles & 3 cats in sequence. Go up until another gorilla (Figure 4). Be careful with the clouds. Knock the gorilla (Figure 4). Then try to rescue 3 ducks. Wait until the gorilla (Figure 4) returns to normal state, and the clouds move away from the left side of the screen. Then, knock it again to rescue 3 rabbits (Figure 5). <--FIGURE 1 <--FIGURE 2 <--FIGURE 3 <--FIGURE 4 <--FIGURE 5 7. DON'T MOVE your joystick towards you (DOWN) when the musical theme finishes at the end of level. You will lose a life immediately at the start of next level. Always move to LEFT, RIGHT, or away from you (UP). 8. BE CAREFUL!! Gorillas can move to another side randomly! Normally, they stay on the left side.

9,790 - GAME 2, DIFFICULTY B

OYAMAFAMILY'S CHALLENGE FOR THIS HSC CONTEST: Extreme Settings - Play Game 3 (Clouds in the sky with faster plane) with DIFFICULTY "A" / EXPERT, and post a score. Top score will get 5 bonus points, the 2nd 4 points, etc. All scores on Game 3 will receive at least 1 bonus point.

ZERO, for the next time we play Oink! on 2600 HSC, I RECOMMEND DEFAULT SETTINGS (GAME 1 - DIFFICULTY B), because on difficulty A, it's IMPOSSIBLE to score 25,000 points or more to get Activision Patch Challenge (Oinkers). Also, I will propose my own challenge: play on Difficulty A and post a score; the highest score will get 5 bonus point, the 2nd 4 bonus point, and so fourth. All the players will receive in this case 1 bonus point at least.

PARTICIPATION POINT - 1080 :D :D This time I will not try again because I have 20 points away from Deteacher (5th place) - see the current standings after Round 8.22 (Off The Wall) on 2600 HSC.

James Randall (Toymailman), congrats for the 3rd best score verified and confirmed by Twin Galaxies on this game!!

NOTE ABOUT SCORING POINTS IN OINK: The maximum value for dropping each object in place in the wall is 400 points, and this value is applicable in Rows 100, 101, 102, and so fourth. SPECIAL NOTE: This game ends automatically at the maximum score - 999,999 points! The scoreboard will display 999999 in this case!

SPECIAL NOTES FOR "OFF THE WALL": 1. This game has a PAUSE feature. To pause this game, move the TV TYPE switch to B&W mode, then to COLOR. To continue, move again the TV TYPE switch. 2.

Thank you very much, Jacob! Here is my 120,314-point gameplay report: 1. I completed the 8 first waves without losing any Life. At 15,000 mark, I had 14 lives in reserve before losing my First Life (including extra lives via Mystery Token - ?). 2. Sometimes I lost my control when I was trying to avoid the "ZIG-ZAG" (Z) item, and to get my favorite tokens: Mystery (?), Magnetic Paddle (M), and Nuke Ball (bomb). 3. I broke my personal record in terms of lives in reserve: 15. 4. Before breaking World Record (118,344 points), I had 8 lives in reserve. After reaching the 120K mark, I spent all my remaining lives to finish the game immediately.

My suggestion to play "Off The Wall" on Arcade/MAME Platform is to follow Twin Galaxies Official Rules. See the rules for MAME and ARCADE. REMEMBER: SINGLE PLAYER ONLY!!

OYAMAFAMILY'S TIPS: 1. Before playing this game, study the Ancient Egypt itinerary, from the South to North: OASIS STARTING SCENE FIRST PYRAMID OASIS PHOENIX OASIS TEMPLE OF ISIS OASIS SECOND PYRAMID DOUBLE PALM TEMPLE OF ANUBIS DOUBLE PALM THIRD PYRAMID OASIS SPHINX OASIS TEMPLE OF RA 2. WALKTHROUGH TO GAME 1: Travel South until the Oasis. Then, drink it to get the Staff of Ra Walk North, and ignore the First Pyramid when you encounter it Before encountering the Phoenix, you must touch the Nomads until getting the Scroll Walk until the Phoenix, then offer the apropriate object called Scroll Once you have the key, backtrack to the first Pyramid. You will receive one of the 3 tablets Walk North past the Phoenix. Before encountering the Temple of Isis (blue building), you must touch the Princess (Goddess Isis - the blue humanoid) until getting the Crown. Then, go to the Temple of Isis, and offer the Crown Once you have the key, go to the next Pyramid to receive another tablet Before encountering the Temple of Anubis (fire-colored structure), you must find and catch the Princess until getting the Ankh. Then, go to the Temple of Anubis, and offer the Ankh to get another key Go to the last Pyramid to receive the third tablet Walk north until the Sphinx, which wants one of the Tablets. Then, try each of them until one is appropriated. Finally, walk to the Temple of Ra (the endpoint of this game). For this variation, you don't need to offer anything. 3. WALKTHROUGH TO GAME 3: It's similar to Game 1, but you must offer the following itens: PHOENIX -> Tannis Leaf and Scroll TEMPLE OF ISIS -> Jug and Crown TEMPLE OF ANUBIS -> Shield and Ankh SPHINX -> One of the 3 tablets TEMPLE OF RA -> Staff of Ra 4. During the gameplay, DRINK at every oasis you encounter. Also, touch the goddess Isis (blue humanoid) every time she appears to get the treasures. Once you get the Sceptre (figured by the Greek letter "PSI"), select this item from your inventory to walk faster, but DON'T forget to select the apropriate item from this inventory to give to Phoenix, Temples, Pyramids, and Sphinx. 5. Collect the treasures as many as possible before reaching the Temple of Ra, because you will score more points at the endpoint of this game. 6. Once you collected a lot of treasures and artifacts, and you are near Temple of Ra, AVOID touching the enemies (specially the thieves), and the Nomads. 7. Set TV TYPE switch to Black & White Mode to verify Prince's wound and thirst scores. 8. When you walk South, specially from Phoenix to the First Pyramid, stay all the way to the left side. This action will decrease the risk of touching the enemies (thieves, spiders, and Evil God Anubis).

64,106 on Game 1

Way to go on that high score! Have you found any surprises along the way that weren't mentioned in the manual? No, I haven't. I have printed and read carefully the text which explains the solution for Game 3 on this game. Then, I played Game 3, and I used the strategy to get more and more points: re-offer appropriate itens to Phoenix, Temple of Isis, Temple of Anubis, and Sphinx (these structures which I've already passed).

New high score on Game 3 - 55,920
