Yeah I use it alot. Enable the shield and get in under the more dangerous gargoyles

A screenshot from my best score as I didn't included it earlier

My strategy for Satan's Hollow First memorise the stage order (it repeats after 24) so that you can be ready in the best position each time. The screen order changes at around screen 85 when it gets more difficult. I usually cross the bridge on the 10th and 20th screens to get the cannon upgraded. I then try to complete 60 ish more stages before crossing the bridge again as crossing the bridge increases the level of difficulty. If I lose a life I cross the bridge as soon as possible to upgrade the cannon again. If the cannon drops to the lowest level it makes it difficult to shoot Satan when you cross the bridge. Use the shield to tackle the pink gargoyles and the ones that throw the exploding rocks

Little Devil 15000 23200 37400 53000 What are those green faces on the second stage? I presumed they were to be avoided!

Satan's Hollow - 507900 missed the record by 700 points! It gets tough around screen 85 cos the order changes and you don't get so many of the easy screens

Frogger 2 H.E.R.O Henry's House Jet Boot Jack LA SWAT/Commando (Top down shooter round?) Past Finder YOOMP! Manic Miner (maybe a homebrew Spectrum port round Skool Daze, The Great Escape?) Super Pac-Man Satan's Hollow Space Fortress Omega Jet Set Willy 2019 Steeple Jack (Bonus game)

255300 - Think I got to about screen 65 and crossed the bridge successfully 4 times

I've not played the Arcade version before, I'll have to fire-up Mame and give it a try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLaOEq1Rnwg

96600 - As far as I can tell you can increase your firepower by two levels. If you lose a life your fire power is decreased to the previous level. There are some tactics as to when you decide to cross the bridge and pick up the score bonus and fire power upgrade. Each time you do so you get less space to work with, as the next chasm is wider, and the game gets more difficult. As the game progresses, crossing the bridge is a good way to avoid some of the more difficult screens

Exciting stuff. I was playing the sequel on the C64 recently, it would be great to see it on the Atari one day

I just played the version from Fandal's site and it reset on me after level 15 or 16. 100k+ I think that's my last go on this game for the time being it takes too long to play and it's boring

Such a great game, it's a shame this project didn't get finished. It would be a lot of work for one coder though

I played the version on the HSC atr and after the 5th level it reset

I hate Lode Runner and Mrs McKong likes Frogger 😁

We've been playing this in the HSC and it is perhaps a bit difficult on the default level but it's a good game and worth playing. With a bit of practice I made it to level 3. I will try the 'Trainee' skill to have a look at higher levels

I was torn between Bruce Lee and Frogger. Bruce Lee is one of my favourite atari games but is too easy to finish for me now, so I voted for Frogger this time

Btw, you said that you wouldn't include a score for yourself this round but i think you should. The amount of effort that must of gone into making this great game is worth the points for sure

23500 Space Cadet Class 1 - Made it to Level 3. Just when you thought it couldn't get any harder!

12480 getting better each time, but no where near to beating level 2 yet

Had my first session using my 800XL and joystick rather than Altirra and keyboard. Whilst I was better with the joystick and got further through level 2 I didn't better my score.
