6 hours ago, DuggerVideoGames said:100,130 pts.
At first, I thought I'd be happy to get about 30k, but then found the game to be much easier than I thought it would be. My timer meter was almost full when I reached 100k and decided I'm done. I can't even imagine playing this game into the millions. The score rises so brutally slow. Some games I can enjoy sitting for a long time and playing. Although I like this game, this is not one of those games I could sit for hours and play.
For the most part, I was able to see a few moves ahead; however, those huge combinations where pieces are suddenly exploding off the board... I felt like Inspector Clousseau when he bends over to tie his shoes and all the bad guys shot each other. 🤣
I was going to say if anybody beats my score I am not playing this game for 6 hours again, as I still can't figure out why I played it for 6 hours in the first place haha.
It is a good port but I don't find it particularly fun in this mode for more then like an hour.

I couldn’t figure out how to hide it like in an earlier post. Might have been because it was 2:30am and I was using my phone

This is a core you can install in the phoenix in slot 3. It has a modification for the ntt where the . key will jump. This version fixes a usability issue where it will cancel the right input while the . key is pressed. This way you can continue pressing right and hit the . to jump without having to release the right direction.
once you install it, make sure to load the core 3 from the menu.
It is funny you should post this now as I just figured out I had to let go of the right direction as I press up in order to make my jumps work. I like the NTT for this game now that I figured it out, just gotta quit dying stupidly.
Will have to give the core a try too to see how I like it.

1 hour ago, Northcoastgamer said: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.
This motivation is bad news for my rankings haha. Just kidding. This group has really had me playing Colecovision a lot more then I probably would have otherwise. Although I love the system sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle.

The 2020 rom file? Nobody has received it yet I don't think. I doubt they will release it until after the physical copies have been shipped and arrive.

13 minutes ago, Northcoastgamer said:I jump over the bird, jump over the tar pit, a little studder step, then under the bird to grab the money bag. Then over the tar pit moving right and under the bird again, in that early section. It takes some practice, but not too difficult. The manual is at Cvaddict.com. This was a good choice Joe. I have been wanting to try it for quite sometime. Fun stuff! Not sure what the deal is for the manual link, still works for me. I'm trying to put together a walkthrough video of the game.
Hmm I either didn't try jumping over the Crow or I didn't time it very well.

@Bmack36 and @Northcoastgamer there is a money bag with a Crow and a lava lake fairly early on. Is it just a really tight timing thing to get this money bag right off the beginning of the game? Is there a trick that I am missing?

Also the manual link does not appear to work for me, is there a copy of it anywhere?
