doubledown Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 46,960 Could have done better but had to many stupid deaths. There are no such thing as "stupid deaths," only "stupid joysticks that are obiviously broken... lousy piece of crap!" Lucky for me, my new Jag Pro Pad to Super Action Control Pad conversion works flawlessly... 110685: This game really starts to get tough on level 13. Thats when it gets to the point where if you take a wrong path you'll run out of "power" and have to start the level over again minus one guy. These long levels at 13 and above also screw you out of bonus points at the end of the stage because they do take so long that you don't have much "power" left to get bonus points for. Granted the higher the level, the higher the power bonus multiplier is, but if there ain't much power left for it to multiply with, that bonus ain't gonna be that great. And realistically you don't get squat for points during the level itself. 50 points for a kill, 75 for breaking a wall, and 1000 for completing the level. Also the common sense pattern of which way to go during the early levels goes right out the window on level 15 as well. I will say that this is one of my favorite games for the ColecoVision, and some of Activision's best work. Every time I mod a console or make a controller this is one of the games I play for testing purposes. Usually this, Montezuma's Revenge, and either Pitfall or Mr. Do!.

doubledown Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Little better... 111,735. Surprisingly on a lower level than last time. Either I killed a few more baddies, or quickened up the pace.
