joeybastard Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'll dig out the manual when I get home and see if it says you can jump them or not.

Albert Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I just scanned the English sections of the manual (it's a fold-out poster). The manual does state you receive points for "Jumping over a Creature" (200 points). ..Al Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/116121-colecovision-hsc-week-2-squishem-sam/page/2/#findComment-1403134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PressureCooker2600 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I love game posters. I still have my Eternal Champions poster hanging up on my door. On another door, I have a Beavis and Butthead game poster. I used to have the posters that came with the NES games NARC and Wolverine......but I lost them.

The hard spots are the pipes with the single pipe going up in the middle.....especially on the levels when the creatures follow your movements.

duncantoml Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 If you can then it's above my skill level. They get me every time I try. It can be done, but the odds are not in Sam's favor. I've only done it a few times and I think that was nothing more than luck.

Blackjack Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Here's my Tips: 1) It's Squishe'em Sam not Avoid 'em Sam. You get 300 points for squishing a monster while your on the move, so the best strategy is to squish all the monsters, not just make it to the top which is only worth 1,000. Take your time and squish everything you can. 2) Always pick up the prizes, there is one for every level. They earn you an extra Sam. 3) After the first monster on each level.... Only move up 1 level at a time. If you try to move more, something will fall on your head. Relax, the game isn't timed. 4) If your trapped and Have to jump a white monster, hold up on your joystick all the way through the jump. Your timing still has to be very good, but you can make it. These white monsters can't be squished, only jumped. All my other high score clubs are suffering since we started Colecovision..... The CV is quickly growing on me, I didn't have one as a kid.
