The scores that you and Patbb got are amazing. I just got to level 12 which is 1 more than your last score and my score is half yours lol .

Any tips?

Don’t go for extra men -just try to accumulate as many points you can in each round.  Also when you get extra men it finishes that level right then and you lose out in points.

I usually go for the EXTRA in the first 8 or 9 rounds. If I'm lucky I can get 2-3 more ladies.

At round 10+ I clear the "flowers" around the "house", colect the 3 blue hearts and go for the 2 red letters ASAP (4000 points each)

 

Sometime I will wait for the vegetable but I often loose a life (greed is dangerous)

 

I also try to arrange the doors to make it longer for the ennemies to get to me ... forming a single path, closing the top. (see image)

I usually go from left to right on the top of the screen.  If an ennemy goes in the top region I go down and close the door.

When you said go for the red letters, did you mean yellow letters? Don't they have to be yellow to count?

I believe he means get the letters that turn red for more points that you dont need to spell extra.

If you still need the letter for extra,of course get it while it is yellow.

 Exactly, the letters will turn red for a very short time, so you have to be very close to the letter to grab bit.

In the arcade version (and other such as the colecovision) you can also spell SPECIAL in red to have a bunus round of all veggies.

The 2600 version has the SPECIAL bonus round too.

However, whenever I played the arcade version, spelling "SPECIAL" only gives you a free credit.  Unless there are different variations of the arcade game.

The 2600 version is amazing.  One of the best homebrew.

 

You're right, the veggy board I remember is probably on the colecoVision, that's the version I played the most.
