HSC Season 6 Week 45: Montezuma's Revenge

[Ze_ro]

Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted.

 

PANAMA JOE, That’s what they call him ‘round these parts; though no one knows his real name or where he comes from. But one thing’s for sure, PANAMA JOE’s a daredevil from the word “go!” No risk’s too great if the reward’s large enough. Winning. That’s what’s the most important to him. And more times than not, that’s exactly what he does. Because he’s tough, clever – resourceful. And sometimes, downright pig-headed! Though occasionally (ah-hum), he’s been known to get in over his head. Luckily, he’s got a knack for getting himself out of hot water as quickly as he gets into it! Let’s hope MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE is one of those times.

Hints and Tips

The Manual

As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. The manual doesn't provide any specific hints, but it does explain some of the features of the dungeon.[/b].

here's a tip its obvious but when jumping the snakes stand a foot away (joe's foot length) from it then go the direction you want and jump and with the skulls that roll on the ground when there going toward you run toward them and jump over

Got it figured out.

 

I had to turn it off at 500k because I am leaving on a short vacation now. I still had max lives and will try to "roll it" at some future point.
