darthkur Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Welcome to the Enchanted Forest. Everything has a magical glow about it, brimming with mystical powers, even a lowly twig laying about on the ground. This is a good thing because you are going to need all the help you can get. There's evil lurking about. Glowing, malevolent eyes peer at you between the mushrooms that grow in towering abundance. Unfortunately it's not just the local fungus that is extraordinarily large but the insects as well and they're hungry. Carnivorous centipedes, deadly spiders, venomous fleas and poisonous scorpions are all on the prowl and you must defeat them if you ever wish the leave this wonderland alive. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory.

Almost Rice Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I am going to get some time tonight to play this, hopefully I can move up a teeny bit : ) I will also get some time tonight. It is not one of my favorite games so my scores will be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 My meager 17,628 for another fine arcade translation using a Sega Genesis controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZanU Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 33,569 Seems a better strategy to clear as many mushrooms as possible before the centipede hits the bottom. Those things drop very quickly and make extra mushrooms (Not the Scorpion) are also good for points. I hope to get some more games in tomorrow, took me a while to break out of the 19k's.

famicommander Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 97,704 Been a while since I've been here. Totally skimped on the Pole Position II. But anyway, I rule at Centipede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZanU Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) 56,527 Getting better at this (and getting down to the wire! Wish I had more time to play in the beginning). EDIT: Woops, had the score wrong. Fixed. Edited March 28, 2009 by xZanU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famicommander Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Try using a 2600 trackball. It's not perfect since the game isn't programmed to recognize it, but I've found it still works better than a stick. I also sometimes use a Genesis controller.
