Gwobby and I had a 2 player game but found a bug as player 2 got an extra life every time they collected the first item. I wanted to post that score (I was player 2) but Bounty Bob wouldn't let me - he's far too mean. We then played the 1 player game and I scored 650500.

This was one of the first atari games I ever owned.

 

After 99 levels it rolls over back to level 1. The difficulty does not seem to increase after level 25ish anyway.

 

38,273,000 Level 178

 

Sorry Guys!

Congratulations to Dodgers on his first win of the season! Kudos to Mimo and Gwobby for much improved performances Flip and Flop has won the poll, so no doubt there'll be much swearing as the monkey repeatedly falls off the platforms for the next two weeks. Have fun folks

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh could have done so much better if a) did'nt go away on holiday, B) my LCD TV hadn't died on Thursday.

Oh well, must look for a 1084 to replace it

Look! Here is the bug that I found last night and which now has been patched, nearly 13 years later (and possibly 40 years too late for its commercial release).

 

In short, the code uses LDA $nnnn and STA $nnnn when it really wants to use LDA $nnnn,X and STA $nnnn,X so the extra life thresholds are updated for player 1 but not for player 2.

 

I suppose the high score by @dodgers was set as player 1.

 

For the possible future, we now have a version that entirely disables extra lives so in case it gets played again in the HSC, the results will be significantly lower.
