JellE

A little bit better... 12, 900

Okay... I think I have the hang of it now... it just took a bit. I went ahead and did the 2 player so I could practice. 5400 and 8200

I am gonna have to figure out a way to rework my controls, I think. They don't seem to be working like I thought they were supposed to. 800

Poll ends noonish on Friday, February 27, 2009. Links to the game information: Kaboom! (Activision-USA-1983) Nibbler (Datasoft-USA-1983) Pastfinder (Activision-USA-1984) Rainbow Walker (Synapse Software-USA-1983) Mr.TNT (HesWare-USA-1983)

C'mon JellE you must try harder I thought I was never gonna get 100K again, played it for last three nights and finally got to level 5 after that just one more go turned into just 7 more goes... 135,400 I will try... but no promises!

When all else fails, button-jam! I recommend taking the remainder of the week off to rest your hands... that'll give me a chance to catch up! I don't think that will be a problem.

I beat the heck out of the fire and jump button... I tell ya though, my hands hurt bad now!

Oh... I didn't realize that was what that was for. My boyfriend set up the joystick and video control thingies, so I had no idea. Good to know... but I think I will continue to play "on my own"... seems like it is funner that way.

I like the pretty colors! I am a girl, what can I say. I can already tell you that score is a fluke... I suck at playing games... I will never, ever get that kind of score again. Thank you though! Keep trying!!! one little 'trick' or 'cheat' put the game in 'invincible' so you can see what's coming ahead of you, then switch it back to normal and play the game How do you do that?

I have never been especially good at this game! 6500

Once I learned how to jump it was all good... but it seems like the holes come up a lot faster the further you get in the game. Ahh well... maybe I will get better! 51,940 By the way, I am super addicted to the artwork for these games now... thanks for that link SpiceWare!!

Yeh I didn't see that message tucked in there otherwise I would have tried Goochman's version of this. Oh well. I'm sorry...I probably should have made it in it's own topic... but there will definitely be other bonuses coming up possibly in the near future!

Bonus Round is officially over!

That's okay... I forgot to post my final score too... I am in the "giving" mood... since it is Valentine's day and all. I will let it count this time.

Yeah...I have a tip...don't play this game if you plan on staying sane!!!

Alright... I am going to run a "side" contest. For anyone interested, you can play Goochman's Mr. Robot, which can be found here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=138523 Post #4. 5 extra points for the 1st place, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, and 1 for anyone else that participates. This part of the contest will end on Sunday, February 15th at noon. Good luck and have fun!

Glad to see you improved... I hate picking games that people don't enjoy! oh... so you are the one that picked it... I will have to remember that next time!!! ...If I recall correctly my exact thinking when I picked it was, "I'll get that JellE, this week!" I'm looking forward to your next selection... do your worst! haha... the only one I am really good at is Puzz Loop. So, I think you are pretty safe!!

I know there are exploits in the game... and unfortunately, there is no way to really police that. I would like to think that everyone is honest enough to not take advantage of this... or at least not to the point it makes the contest no longer fun for anyone.

Hi, do you guys want to settle the places for those who have beaten A-V on Mr Robot II or do you want to share the points P-l-e-a-s-e don't make me play through the screens a zillion times... not that I'm taking the contest to be the greatest Atari 8-bit games player in the world too seriously p.s. A big welcome to all the new participants We will be going by actual points for this round, not by levels. I have been talking to Goochman about some of "his" levels, and I might throw in a bonus for Valentine's day. We will have to see how many are interested in that.

I think this is going to be as good as it gets for me! 8,170

Emulation is perfectly fine! Welcome to the club!!!
