Hi Rob,

there is a trick which prevents you from falling down, but there must bvew a ladder. I think, you just have to move the joystick down while you're juming into a hole with ladders. I'' have to check this...

 

Have fun!

Hi again,

i've just read in an old german Activision club magazine from autumn 1983 that the proved world record at that time was 114000 points with 93 seconds left. The name of the owner is Stefan Gerlichs from Oldenburg, Germany.

 

I'm still quite sure, that i have beaten that time then, but the only thing i really can remember is, that it was an even number between 60 and 120 seconds.

 

I hope, one day if find that picture again.

 

Have fun!

Hi,

in my young days i was very good in gaming.

 

I scored the full 114.000 points and if i remember it correct, there were about 70 seconds left. I haven't seen anybody beating the time, but many reached the full score too.

 

To bad, that i've lost the polaroid (oh no, it was a kodak landcam) i made

 

Have fun!

[You have to hear this...]

Hi Rob,

i have searched this message board for the words of Tempest where he is bashing you. I did'nt find them.

 

So if he said this, it must have been somewhere else, and i'm absolutely not interested, that flame wars from different places are continued on this board. To be exact, i'm not interested in flame wars at all !!!

 

And i'm quite sure and hope that most of the other members agree.

 

So, please please please, would you (and i mean ALL of you) please stop with this.

 

And if you want to hear my personal (very subjective) oppinion: I agree with the intentions of Bob's last post.

 

(BTW: Searching is very slow, Alex could this be improved, please?)

 

Have fun!

*** Sorry, this is getting very off topic. ***

 

Ok, i should have replaced "American" with something like "nationalistic".

 

I hope i misunderstood or overinterprete (sorry for my bad english) you, but using the situation of the past as an argument for now or the future, combined with a nationalistic view, looks to me quite dangerous.

 

History is not objective, every nation has it's own view. I'm sure, you will find several people from different countries, who will claim, that their country started with something (cars, telephone, videogames? ...).

 

This can easily lead to very unneccessary conflicts.

 

BTW: The United States are the biggest market for nearly every consumer good, not only video games. But that doesn't mean anything, or does it?

 

Have fun!

I would call that the typical american way of thinking
