StanJr Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 1702 Made it to the third screen. Yippee. There is a special place in Hell for the vicious bastards who programmed this miserable game. I think they must have gone on to program Conan for the NES. Same miserable mechanics. This game falls into the category of "playable, but why would you ever." No amount of patience and repeatedly pressing reset after falling to your death on the first jump will ever make this game fun. My hat off to all of you who manage to keep playing and get higher and higher scores. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Can someone please explain what you are supposed to do in this game? I manage to jump up to the right and get what looks like maybe a toothbrush and a carrot...after that, I have no idea and everything kills me.

MoomUnit Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Can someone please explain what you are supposed to do in this game? I manage to jump up to the right and get what looks like maybe a toothbrush and a carrot...after that, I have no idea and everything kills me. Each screen has two items that you must pick up, and hatching dragon eggs that you must destroy. Red eggs: touch or kick Gold hatching eggs: must be kicked Dragon: must be kicked Otherwise, you complete the screen by making your way up to the pink sun. Touch the two-step ladder (at the top, center) to complete the level. The trick is to find which jumps are legal and which ones kill you (too high, too far, etc.) Watch the video that I posted earlier from the arcade version of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 OK, thanks...that helps a lot...I didn't realize you could kick...I was just jumping.

roadrunner Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This game should have a option to select levels so you can practice the later ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This is an annoying game, not a good way to recoup from travel. 315 Game with sun - Stay Frosty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 1,010 This took some doing. Now that I know I can go right and get to the sun faster, I have trouble actually killing all the weird enemy things because I know there's less than a 50% chance that I'll make it back to get the toothbrush then go up on the same life. I can't imagine getting past level 2. But I will try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hat off to all of you who manage to keep playing and get higher and higher scores. I would also think they have programmed Lester the Unlikely for the SNES and Dark Castle for the Genesis as well. If you have never played Dark Castle. Consider yourself lucky. That game is bad. REALLY BAD!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 And the game with the sun. Planet Patrol gets a bad rap, but I've always had a soft spot for it -- ever since the summer of '90, that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yep, a little bit of polish and Planet Patrol would be a rather good game - I like the day/night sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Sorry for my abscence in this High Score Club during 3 weeks in a row. Kaboom, Astroblast and Springer I'm not enjoying. I was playing other Atari 2600 games which are more irresistible to play, like Thunderground and Atlantis. And I'm participating in the special thread dedicated to Activision - Activision Patches, Difficulty and Summer Quest 2015.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Little bit better (The score, not the game. The game's still bad). 2,406 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
