EricDeLee Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Are we allowed to use the Cheat/tip thing where you can get an extra ten men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Are we allowed to use the Cheat/tip thing where you can get an extra ten men? I didn't know there was such a thing. In answer to your question, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon Plus Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 This was one of the games I got originally with my Lynx (along with Stun Runner, Slime World and Chip's Challenge) and it was probably the one I played the most, even if I thought it was the worse one of the four. I remember getting to round 25-30 or so, and getting pretty high-scores, but I've not played since at least a year ago. First play: Not bad. Got to round 5. Second play: Better. I used a shortcut to get to level 9, but I didn't think that was right, so I started again. This time, I got through every stage until the 11th.

+atari2600land Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I bow my head to anyone who can get past the trampoline that goes over the water in trip 3. Here's my updated score: 18,950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 25,130 I sure wish holding down the second button made Pac run, like with SMB. It sure would make those rolling log platforms on Round 3 a lot more manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I need to get used to the controls a bit more. But here's my most recent attempt: 37020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) 9980, crap I am terrible at this game! What am I missing??? Edited August 14, 2009 by Horst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I also suck at this game... those enemies bounce around so random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Second try, 22,610. This game seems to be all about timing, and its a fun game now. Trampoline in level 3 is driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 47,670 Getting better but still can't get past the damn springboard thing on Level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 89,120 Springboard is so easy, there seem to be an awful lot of little tricks to this game to get max points. With a bit more practice it shouldn't be too difficult to complete this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sweet score! I need to spend a bit more time with it though! The springboard bugged me quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Wow... I still find little quirky things in this game. I improved my score again: 67840 is my new high score. I played on my psp, so I can't upload the screenshot right now (I forgot my usb cord) Springboards... I am still trying to figure out. Bonus points... and timing those jumps are a bit of a pain as well. Updated Screenshot Edited August 31, 2009 by EricDeLee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Not so easy to complete this game but still improving, 112,840. Don't think I'll ever beat Damon's score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horst Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 141,680 This game is addicting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I almost feel like I sat here and didn't do anything today. (well... aside from playing the Lynx) I didn't think I'd have a chance at this. I was playing on actual hardware and had a score around 110000 and the darn thing ran out of batteries. So I was unable to document that score. Then I sat down on the psp and stayed there pretty much throughout the entire Tigers games this afternoon. Final score: 317040 This game is ALL about timing. And the darnest thing is it is so freaking random. Everything gets thrown at you left and right. Some of those levels simply are not fair at all. Airplanes above you while you are jumping logs? Double bus coming at you when you have limited visibility with the flashlight! What the heck! Not only is this thing about timing, there is a great deal of luck involved as well. Who would have thounk that the safest way to get across some areas was to ride on the ghost's head when she comes after you. You have to get those freaking Bonus points to get that score to tally upwards. Those bonus points are a pain... but at 7650 a pop... it is worth perfecting the timing. I think I ended around level 35 or so... Lots of fun, and I'll be sure to hang in there with the rest of the High score clubs each month as it is getting me to play my Lynx even more now!

Horst Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wow thats awesome! I've also noticed the complete randomness of this game. There is also a glitch in that every so often you'll start a game with almost no ghosts in the level. Seems I play for hours but always run into some goofy ghost combo that repeatedly kills me. Also wish you didn't have to double tap right or left to run, always kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
