Mister VCS Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Game Info That big bully's got the girl. It's you to rescue. Climb the building, floor by floor. But watch out! Our fearsome foe is angrily tossing boulders. Dodge them. Or squash them to score points. The higher you go, the harder the going gets.

+cmart604 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Love this game!!! Can't wait to play, hopefully post a score tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Best "time" to the top? How does one propose to do that, as the game scores, but doesn't time how long it takes you to the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 this is one of my favs!!!! i will be posting a pic this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Nice to see the edit, getting that nice Imagic cart out Giving a little Twin Galaxies info on Beast... The current accepted world record is 68,900 by Robert C Smith in 2002 (yes I hate him) Note: If you want to break it, you must videotape the game from beginning to end (either on INTV console or emu), a playback is not valid for TG.

Cebus Capucinis Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'll post a mere pittance score to start things out A bit more respectable score from me, now I need not be so ashamed! 4,800 17,400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My first effort, and I'm not pleased with it... 2 Buildings down, score of 14,700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 OMG Man, what the heck type of graphic file format did you use on that screenshot??? It took forever and a week to load in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Oh, cool, I actually own this game, although I've never really played it before. I guess I'd better start practicing! And, if anyone out there needs a copy of this game, I've got one with overlays for sale in the marketplace. Only $2 plus shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'd request screenshots include the score, building and the # of buildings complete on the bottom, like we had for Ladybug please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Didn't think you guys would want my first score of 850. Seriously, 850. By game 3 I did a bit better. Still love this game although it drives me nuts when you're near the top, get killed, then find yourself killed once or twice more at the bottom as you try to navigate the rocks and rats and birds you just eluded! Hopefully I'll have something better than this to post soon. 17050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Slight improvement, finished building 6, died at the bottom of 7. Real tough if you miss hearts. 18,200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 One upping the score challenge, but I know I can do more... Building #7 (Great) lol Note after the third building, the game starts throwing "Awesome"s into the flight words, and after building five, you only get a free life every 4 segments (2 originally), and if/when we get to 10, it's 1 per eight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doing wrong/you're doing right??? Any scoring tips I'm missing. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 You guys seem to be having the same games I do in my small collection. So I'm joining in. 8800. I doubt I can do better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWI Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Terrible. I am just terrible at this game. I'll throw a screenshot up on sunday to get my point. Edited March 9, 2010 by JayWI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Terrible. I am just terrible at this game. I'll throw a screenshot up on sunday to get my point. Me too. My high score so far is only 2,950.

I'll post a pic later if I don't beat it I got around 5k once but I haven't even come close to matching it. I've never cleared a building either.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Just got this game a few days ago in the mail... 3rd try ever playing it today, My Score = 19,550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Very nice for your third try Jacob, remember to save up those Bufords, as you get them less often after building 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Very nice for your third try Jacob, remember to save up those Bufords, as you get them less often after building 5. Thanks! I seem to have a knack for this game, I made it to the 7th Building just now. However, the score is lower then yours... 21,050 Lady Bug I also played, but forgot to submit the score... had a pic and everything, but it's okay because the score wasn't so great, probably last. Skill 2... I'm surprised how high the scores were for Lady Bug. They did remember to put on skill 2 right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 4,100 1 building complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That's the start of building 8, (as the number counts completed buildings). I'm looking to post a 10+ level screenshot soon (been a while since played this game, but loved/love it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Here's what I got so far. 12,600 I've found I can score higher by falling off the early buildings near the top and climbing them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
