  1. 58930 Wow, your score really does go up after the 2nd boss! I barely beat him - his last ditch move caught me off guard.
  2. Yeah, while I like this game, I'm not big on playing these types of games for score. I can't give many tips for the 1st level as I thought it was pretty straight forward aside from the fire on bridge part - make sure to jump down as soon as possible there. Also, don't forget to hold the button down once you have rapid fire. It took me a few playthroughs to figure that out. Anyway the 2nd level is really difficult for me as I have trouble judging the hit box while on the horse. I also can't seem to beat the 2nd boss and I can only ever get to him with one life.
  3. You can't mention Dark Tower without mentioning some of the other games in Milton Bradley's short-lived electronic board game series - Stop Thief and Lost Treasure. Stop Thief is one of my favorites and I didn't discover it until a few years ago.
  4. These threads have got me thinking. If the Arcadia 2001 came out a year earlier in 1981 and they released Pac-Man with it, could the video game crash have been averted? What if the VC 4000 didn't confuse people with its "cassettes" and they were called carts instead? Would Germany have gained control of the video game market? Would the Colecovision, NES, SMS, even have happened???
  5. I also agree in regards to the controller. I'd say there's a good chance that it was the main contributor to the failure of the 5200. It's THAT bad.
  6. $27420 "Marry me with my money!" Yeah, I know it's supposed to be "bury".
  7. $22,590 I haven't played this one before. I can't seem to get too far in the 2nd level.
  8. 106700. My goal of breaking 100000 has been reached. Level 6 is crazy. I still haven't seen the biplane. What level does it usually appear in?
  9. Alright! More participants. Things are picking up now. It seems like by the time I reach the 3rd or 4th level I become too afraid of going after the ships that need to be destroyed with the missiles and it's all about survival. Gotta try to be more aggressive. 74500
  10. I love my CRTs. I've been collecting them over the years, however I've stopped now as I'm afraid of becoming a hoarder. Most of them do get used though. 27" Sony Trinitron (for NES, SMS, Genesis, SNES, Turbo) 25" Magnivox with built in DVD and VHS players (for Atari 7800, Colecovision, Intellivision) 13" Commodore 1802 (for Atari 800XL) 19" Sony PVM (not hooked up at the moment) 19" CGA CRT in Millipede arcade cabinet 19" Dell monitor 13" CGA arcade monitors x 2 (for future bartop arcade cabinet projects)
  11. My AV modded (LM318) Colecovision is on the fritz. I'm guessing it's the VRAM. It started having problems after a power outage a while back which makes the power switch seem like an unlikely culprit. It began with small little graphical glitches here are there and progressively got worse. I tested the power supply and the readings seemed good. Audio works fine along with the inputs. I've attached a sample screen of Donkey Kong. Given this info am I correct in assuming that it's probably a VRAM issue? What should be my next steps? I've never had any luck with desoldering my Colecovision or Atari 800XL in the past so I'll need to find someone who would be able to fix it.
  12. Lag perhaps? Are you playing on the original system? What kind of display are you using?
  13. You'd think they could at least have one of them quickly look up the manual and skim through while the other is playing.
  14. Yeah, I prefer the look and theme of the original (going through different time periods, parallax clouds), but this one isn't bad.
  15. All of those are correct except for 37. These are both correct.
  16. This is the first time I've played the '84 version. Here's my first attempt: 35300
  17. Under a sidewalk, in the carpet, and under a house are all viable hiding places for hide and go seek. A two foot fall can be lethal. You have multiple ships, but no more than 1 can ever be engaged in battle at a time. That is unless an enemy bug ship captures your ship and your other ship frees it. Then they have to fly together as one.
  18. I'd be up for it. My suggestions. Chameleon Lasso Rescue Time Tunnel Wild Western
  19. Here are a few more arcade games with monkeys/apes. Boggy '84 - monkeys in all the stages Fantasy - Giant gorillas on the third stage. Jumping Jack - monkeys jumping on the platforms Jump Coaster - monkeys riding the coasters Pioneer Ballon - giant gorillas in one of the later sections.
