Colecovision HSC Week #5 - Venture

[RJ]

I've never posted a screenshot for ANY HSC I've been in.

 

It cant be so hard if 4 of us (so far) reached 1 mill. Plus I mentioned earlier up I did it once before 6 months ago.

 

The day I cheat in a HSC is the day I quit playing video games.

Ran it up to 10,012,200

 

Doesn't beat my personal best, but it will have to do. I got bored with it, so I ended the game.

I found this poem giving game advice on the arcade flyer: http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyerdb&...mbs&id=1303

 

Also, the 'princess' figure in the spider room is supposed to be Winkette^TM. Why all the ^TM's?

 

The Venture^TM Legend

 

Recovered by Winky^TM in Dungeon Archives, circa 1581

 

In a Dungeon of Olde, there are Treasures to Gain

In Chambers ‘midst Creatures of Doom.

Pass Quickly through Halls where Green Monsters do Reign

Your Arrows pierce Only in rooms.

 

Beware of the creatures who Fall to your Bow

They Lie with their Powers intact.

The Moving Walls Fall at the Strike of your Blow

Quick! Capture the Prize then retract.

 

In Chamber rooms Dark, make good Haste for the Prize

To Linger invites foes too Strong;

So Shoot as you Might, you can’t conquer their Size

And you Won’t be a Winkin’ for Long.

I know, it's pretty silly. I think they assumed they had another Pacman on their hands. A video game character that would reap them millions through licensing opportunies...
