They have been on a tear this season. Haha, I'm trying my best - I used to play Coleco venture back in the day. Nothing like blasting a 45 (Survivor - Eye of the Tiger), getting a big tub of gummy worms and setting off to task... The key to this one is just getting through the racks - each bonus that happens gets better and better where you're getting close to 100k just for clearing. This particular score, I went through all the treasures, then it starts repeating the 3rd set of dungeons. I didn't get through the 1st repeat. Anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 35900. I had difficulties using an Xbox controller to play this game. If I have time I'll see if I can bump this up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalJohn Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) 1,454,300 - I started taking a video to show my gameplay, realized I was recording my meeting audio, got a call that stopped my phone from recording. I Started recording again and then I realized my phone was not showing the score. I can post the 2nd vid if anyone is interested and can help me figure out where to post. 1st screenshot during the bonus that caused the roll-over, 2nd shot, final score.

DuggerVideoGames Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 [Skill 3]: 1,031,300 pts. Decided I was done after rolling over the score. Was able to pause the WiiColem emulator to take pics with the iPhone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you also rolled over after completing the Cyclops Room last. We probably both play the same way in completing rooms usually in a specific order, and almost always shooting at a 45-degree angle. The bat room is my favorite for getting in and out so quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's always a certain order, clockwise on the first round, 2nd round end on the red crabs, 3rd end on cyclops. depending on if you lose a guy on some of the levels, you have to take a different route to avoid the monsters on the map screen. But for the most part, yes 45 degree angles for the win. The flying horses give me the most trouble though. Shoot the right one first, go past it to the right and then try to pick off the rest... or make a beeline for the treasure and get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
