Is it just me, or is the difficulty a bit inconsistent? I didn't notice a pattern, but sometimes there will be four speedy spiders on the screen at once. And then further into the game, when I would expect things to be even more difficult, the game goes back to two spiders and things slow down for a bit. (I'm not complaining, though - it's nice to have a bit of a breather with this one!)

Many of us started at 30000 points. In the long run it might not make a difference but good to settle the settings before the round ends.

 

Edit: Starting at 0, the game is very slow so easy to pick up bonus lives through the first 40K. If you play carefully, I feel like you can last much longer into the game than if you start at a higher amount of points where the game is faster and you have a harder time to make each bonus life. I reached 156091 pts starting from 0 compared to 156127 pts before starting from 30K so in the long run the difference might be marginal.

Holy cat poop, third was optimistic! Had my first go, not played the fixed PAL version before, think it looks easier as less crazy now you can see the swarming guys!

I stared at 00 but use the default 30K from now on everyone :waving:

I was basing it on you being the previous record holder for this game!

Ok. Mite - nice game, all 18 areas was cleared, but i have few question to therealbountybob:

1. Kendal, why one gem (or more, in probably 15 or 16 area) always stay on area?  Ok, nearly mode ;)

2. Bonus time is usually too short to get it

Anyway, nice game. When will be improvement version with more areas? :P

Thanks Sikor, it's good after all this time that the game has had a proper play ;-) I added the bonus timer in 2008 but didn't test it with all the levels. I can't remember if I added a secret message like in BBSB about the warp screen - did you see anything? If not I think it's hold all the console keys Select/Option and Start to see the screen where you can start on any level!

 

I've just added the ROUND 21 POLL might roll this round a couple of extra days :!:

Thanks; glad I didn't dream that I did that!

 

Millipede 322,682 (fandal version)

Everyone should be playing a version with the Title Screen animations, the other (hack?) one is much easier.

Votes please everyone: ROUND 21 POLL OPEN!

Unfortunately the Mite.ATR won't load for me, even with BASIC enabled. My SIO2SD loads to $0004, displays the green screen with MITE in yellow but doesn't advance from there.

Hm. The exact same happens with my NTSC 800 which makes me wonder what is happening as SIO2SD usually can load ATR images. Does one have to put this on a physical floppy disk?

 

Edit: For that matter, the Millipede.XEX downloaded from Fandal doesn't boot on neither my NTSC 800 nor my PAL 130XE using SIO2SD. The other Millipede 1984.XEX downloaded from AtariOnline.PL with animations on the title screen (probably not PAL fixed) boots on both.
