King Kong - 3915

Congo Bongo - 139,230 (Game 1 B-B). King Kong 3520 (Game 1 B-B). I am good to go! Shock the Monkey!

Yeah the spiders web is a breeze, I could have scored higher but at my age when you gotta go, you gotta go. I found a pretty good pattern, once you get the jumps down it isnt that difficult. And no free guys at all, that's blah.

204,060. Learning where to jump at the proper angles through the sides, top and bottom openings is key. By jumping through any opening and exiting a cave, then jumping back to that same cave, enemies will be gone, giving you time for another try. The sword can be found on any of the 3 cave levels. Once I get the sword I proceed to the middle chamber on level 1, from there it's simply 3 jumps up to Senta. This works well on the faster levels, it's easier to deal with 1 rat than 3. When you hear the sound of the bat approaching Senta, switch screens and let the bat fly directly above Senta, then shoot, you'll get it everytime. Try to get through the spiders web as quickly as possible, switch between screens alot so Senta stays safe.

102,308. Sector 10 Bonus - 32,850. Always enjoy the point pressing challenges.

999,250 - Midnight Magic. 999,830 - Video Pinball. Difference of 580 points.

49,130. Practice on the championship course. As for the tiny mines, don't move, let the screen scroll to you, timing your jumps.

Midnight Magic - 324,720. Video Pinball 325,062. Difference of 342 points.

25,950

Toyshop Trouble - 46,599. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 23,000. Like Ladybug, Toyshop is another great great homebrew, very addicting. Guess Ill have to buy some more homebrews seeing how I can't find the few carts I need for my 2600 collection. I had no idea they were done so well! Strategy wise, don't finish painting the main toy for each day until that is all thats left, usually when toy count is down to a dozen or so. You get double points for each painted toy on screen once the last one is painted completely. As for Chainsaw, I move to the right starting out. As you approach victims, some you can get easily, others will move left, then right again as you near them. It's a quick left, then right move, then stab with the chainsaw, if they do move. Takes some practice. Once I hit 10k, I move left at the top of the screen. By quickly moving right slightly letting whatever obstacle leave the screen, then back left repeating until you get a victim to appear. It's also very important to get each victim with one rev of the chainsaw. Finally, keep resetting until there is a victim to the right of Leatherface, so you get a quick kill to start each game

346,990. Two special harvests.

Ladybug - 235,940. Great job of programming this one for the 2600, simply amazing. The intellivision version doesnt have the special harvest screen. One of my all time favorites, especially for the colecovision. As for bonus, I'd be a spider named Bruno, roaming around the caverns of H.E.R.O.

Spider Fighter - 310,260. Spiderdroid - 16,703. Centipede - 136,909.

87,130

Ninja Golf - 117,360 (Normal). Warp item dropped on 9th hole and was able to finish. Great game, always enjoy playing this one!

72,555 (Level 7 - Multiple lifts). Second time thru, just missed the dam jump.

41,130 (Level 11 - Uranuim). Missed the jump on the final bridge, but nabbed the uranium on the way down for 5k.

32,090 (Level 10 - Cannon/TNT).

80,780. By using the radar scanner, depth charges can be dropped before the subs appear on screen for direct hits early on. On the right side, as the subs make 2 moves (going left) just past the speed counter (0). One move past the 1 on the sub counter (10) as they proceed to the right. I use these as reference points for early bombing. The bonus sub usually appears after 2-3 regular subs have passed along the bottom. Keep this in mind so as not to hit it too early.

18,350 (Level 6 - Radioactive pool). Great way to start the new season with an absolute classic. Best of luck to everyone!

Tomarc the Barbarian, Pitstop, Wing War.

76,690. That's absolutely correct champ, you want to go as long as possible before nailing the bonus sub. Was down to one on the sub counter when I hit it for this score. As you can see in the pic, they sank my battleship!

Sub Scan - 63,310. Much more fun than Venture, that's for sure.

Venture - 23,300. Adventure - 3 dead dragons in 1 room.

3011. Some good competitive battles this season, enjoying it very much. Let's raise the bar a tad.
