Ze_ro Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted. It's dinnertime and Lady Bug is ready to eat! Take a stroll through the garden and nibble on the rows and rows of pretty flowers. Be careful though -- there are many dangerous insects that just love to eat ladybugs -- and they're fast too! Block their way by swinging the gates closed, and stay away from the deadly poison. Oh -- and don't forget to collect the bonus prizes to get the help of other ladybugs and a special invite to the Veggie Bounty Harvest! GOOD LUCK! Note: This game is available from the AtariAge Store if you wish to buy it. I highly recommend it! Game Information Game Name: Lady Bug Released By: John W. Champeau, 2006 Left Difficulty: B / Novice - Faster Lady Bug Right Difficulty: Your Choice (controls video brightness) Game Mode: Standard Chosen By: johnnywc Post your scores right here in this thread, and I will add them to the list. Remember to play the game with the recommended game mode and difficulty settings as shown above so that your scores will be consistent with everyone elses.

[1] Scoring Points in Lady Bug Eat a flower - 10 points Collect a blue item - 100 points Collect a yellow item - 300 points Collect a red item - 800 points Collect a vegetable - 1000 to 9500 points, as shown before level Note that scoring is multiplied by 2x, 3x, or 5x depending on how many blue hearts you have collected (This multiplier does not affect vegetables) Hints and Tips As always, you really should read the manual. Unfortunately, I don't know of any online versions of the manual. Anyone have a PDF? Check out this post for a scanned copy of the manual (Thanks Nathan Strum!) Clear the section immediately surrounding the enemies' hideout before you do anything else. If you manage to eat the veggie in the middle (which stuns the baddies for a few) and then an enemy hits a skull (which sends him back to the center) when he leaves the base, another veggie will be there. So, I guess it's possible to get 3 veggies per board, if you are good at luring the enemies toward the poison. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MindMaster Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes indeed, thank you Atari2600land. I'm new to this emulation scene. Got stella going and Ladybug plays fine. Is there a way to use my computer joystick instead of the keyboard commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Damn, I was going to wait until the MGC to purchase this one. I don't really do emulation either...guess I'll check back in next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-in-NJ Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm not in the HSC, but I made it to Part 15 the other day, with a score of around 320,000. Did it with no children interrupting or distracting me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 This is a very well done game. The cart and manual are really cool and gameplay is fun. Maybe this is the one I will make a box for next. Anyway, my best so far is 155,450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes indeed, thank you Atari2600land. I'm new to this emulation scene. Got stella going and Ladybug plays fine. Is there a way to use my computer joystick instead of the keyboard commands? If you have an X-Arcade, or other programmable joystick, those work well. Otherwise, I don't think Stella has joystick support internally. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MindMaster Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanx for the info Deteacher, I messed with the controller settings and joystick is working fine. Ladybug is one of the all time classics. Had a lot of fun with it at the arcade and on the Colecovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Beard Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) My score: 269,790 306160 Tip: Work on spelling "Special" first. You can't get a high score without some Veggie Bounty Harvest action. Edited May 21, 2007 by Captain Beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
