but as I mentioned often those platformers have limbs made out of porcelain and the slightest fall will kill them

I agree, the one "saving grace" of our dear Chuckie Egg

So far:  39,490 on Chuckie Egg.  Haven't tried Super Bunny.

Although this won't become something I go back to often I do prefer games like this over the arcade ports, as I find the original stuff more interesting personally.

I know I can do a *lot* better on Chuckie Egg, just wanted to get a score in there, make sure you know I'm still in this :)

How does the scoring work on Super Bunny?  I just had a run where I managed to clear all of the animals on the first level and after the screen resets my score was... still 0?!?  Somehow even that game ended at 200 points, after I got the carrot that wasn't on the 'bottom' of the platform.

 

I know I've played this before, unlike Chuckie Egg.  Was this a HSC game like forever ago?  Or did I actually play this in mid 80s?

 

EDIT: I decided to try another version (atarimania) and now I'm actually scoring points as I go.  I had downloaded the colour version from fandal originally, so there must be some sort of bug with it or something.  So for those inclined, I suggest the Atarimania version.

 

New best:  825  955

In the HSC Feb-Mar 2007 and as a bonus game in Apr 2011. Good catch about different versions. Atarimania also has the manual which consists of 2 pages of instructions and 14 pages of comic book and credits.

Ok.. I notice that the majority of you are getting scores in the 200K-300K range but clearly I'm a far more mediocre player.

At this moment I'm fairly OK with 35440 pts.

 

I think you will find you are a mediyolker player carlsson :grin: :-o

I got to exactly the same place on Chuck with a slight improvement on score to 284,450.

Having more joy on Super B. still not completed the 2nd stage but picking up the 500 point carrot bonuses helps and improved to 1,860 ;-)

Chuckie Egg

At last kept the giant chicken away and got to level 29ish  score 388,910.

Players on real hardware can put the game on 2-4 players and this gives a few extra seconds of free time between each life, whether it's enough to get to the toilet and back I'll leave it for you to decide!

 

Super Bunny

1,675  I have a couple of freak 2K goes saved on the disks' hall of fame from the past (when I had better reflexes and a better joystick!) :)  Fire is pause - Start continues

I played Super Bunny for the first time yesterday. I pressed the button to make him jump and I thought it had crashed!

Only scored 200 so I'll try again later

For Chuckie Egg, you can pause the game (at least on real hardware).  Use the "H" key.  When you start the game and select number of players it is stated at the top line of the screen although not very clear.  The "H" stands for "Hold the game".

 

Tried it and it does pause and you can restart by moving your character again.    Have not gone enough rounds to need this myself yet.
