ColecoDan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Actually when I was young I always played bump and jump on intellivision. I loved it, it was my favorite. I actually like it a lot better on intellivision especially the collision detections because on colecovision if you nudge a car he goes flying into the wall and blowing up when intellivision seemed a little more realistic in that it wouldn't move very far if you didn't hit the car that hard. Colecovision seems pretty impossible to finish the round without blowing up a car because they pretty much always fly into a wall when you nudge them.

ColecoDan Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 365812 I had the game of my life Let me tell you after you work hard to get 50,000 the first few rounds it feels good in the later rounds just to bash into those suckers. By the way you can die and still get the 50,000 bonus which is what I did to make sure I got it in some rounds. The guy who didn't get it must have hit a car and it crashed off screen so you didn't see it because that happened to me in one of my tries and I was pissed when I saw one car hit. Whew I can't believe I was able to post a score higher than duncantoml even if it doesn't hold up I still can't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I need to play a few more games -- any strategy help for me to break the 30,000 barrier? Do you all just knock as many as possible in the early round and focus on trying to get 40+ cars bonus? How about the bridges - do you try to land on the islands (I'm terrible at it) or do you go for the skinny pieces of land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Actually Ranger G the early rounds are the easiest to get 50,000 bonus for not hitting any cars. After I started getting the hang of it I wouldn't even continue playing if I accidentally hit a car in the first level. But I did get pretty good at it and only hit a car in the first round by accident so it made sense to just reset for me because 80 - 90 percent of the time I would get the 50,000 bonus. After a while I even started resetting if I didn't get the 50,000 bonus on the first 2 levels. Pretty much after the 5th or 6th level it is pretty insane and very hard to not hit cars so I would just bash into as many of those suckers as I could to make up for all the early rounds where I was trying to avoid them You don't want to waste the early rounds hitting cars because as the levels get harder it is harder to not hit cars and easier to just bash into them as you survive the crazy jumps. It is not worth losing lives by trying to hit the islands on purpose the later rounds will have you needing to hit islands in order to actually make the jump so you will get your points there. Hope this helps a little. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
