^Any tips or strategies you can share with us?

^Woohoo. If you took an unauthorized potty break, I'm going to have to disqualify that score.

I'm digging this game somewhat too. Cursor is touchy.

How long did that take Brian?

As a matter of fact, I used your 184K score from a few years back to help determine the bonus points for this round. You mentioned it last time we played Smurf Rescue I think.

You went pretty far on your last Smurf around 108K, very impressive. You certainly have played a lot by the way you hit your marks and the double jumping, again very impressive. I have been trying to do more double jumping myself. This game is fun and aggravating to me at times, like I want to break something. I noticed around the 4:00 mark in the video, you had back to back screens in the grasslands with no bat. Quite odd.

^Right on. I have been jumping more over the bats in the grasslands than I have previously. I would also agree with you that you should never lose a life on the fence path the cave or the castle. At times I can go through all the scenes and save Smurfette without losing a life. But sometimes blow chunks and lose 2-3-4 in seconds. Your bonus has been updated.

Like Pitfall Arcade, I have been wanting to play this one for awhile as well. Don't see a manual anywhere so we will play it by ear and on the fly together. Not sure about the Bonus Points either will see how it goes.

104,400 (Skill 4). Very happy to break 100K!

Some very impressive scores! This season is shaping up to be interesting........

Another round in the books with some great scores!! Thanks once again to everyone that partook in this global thermonuclear exercise! Great fun.

You might be too close to the edges and points of mounds in the grasslands.

Good to see the improvement in scores. I have been obsessed with saving all 26 bases and 21 cities for days now. Due to the current state of affairs, lots of CV time! I have some motivation this season that I haven't had in years to be honest. I was up at 6am awhile back playing that dam Flipper Slipper and River Raid. Going to try a bit more today for all the bases then some Smurf action. Taking the time to learn games opens many doors of enjoyment.

I knew you were going to enjoy this round. You nearly tripled my high score. Nice job!

^Thanks. Managing that final assault on the north around the 1:45 mark is the key. Such a great game to play.
