duncantoml Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 How do i kill that little green thing? You have to drop him 2 levels OR drop another monster on his head. Blue ones are 3 level drop OR drop another monster on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 How do i kill that little green thing? You have to make him fall 2 floors. Here is some extra info. From the manual: "You score points each time you eliminate a Space Monster. A "Creature (red) must fall through one floor to be eliminated. But "Boss" (green) must fall through two floors and "Don" (blue) must fall through three floors to be eliminated." The more floors they fall the more points you get. You get extra points when a falling monster falls on another monster. Edit: Sorry I walk away from the computer and went and got the manual, and didn't realize the answer was already posted.

Mister VCS Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) "ColecoDan battles the champ (duncantoml)" this season... and season 3 champ ed1475 is on place 3. Very interesting! Edited August 14, 2010 by Mister VCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 4180 I had never played this game. It is such a slow game that it reminds me of Amidar on the 2600. The first few times I tried the game I really thought this was a stinker, but it gets better. That's a nice plus to these high score clubs, they make me try a game and stick with it longer than I would normally - and some games turn out to be decent (or even pretty good).

roadrunner Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Big improvement 16,110 Level 7 was tough to get past. Now that i know how to play this game, i'm going to try out the arcade version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Any help on how to line up holes on different levels when you dig. I seem to just barely miss lining them up. Thanks, RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 82840 I think I am starting to hate this game I was at 82840 with 3 lives left and couldn't get another point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) This is a pretty unique, but frustratin' little game. It took me a while to figure out how drop the little buggers through the floor...you got to hit 'em in the head three times with a blooming shovel! Trying to line up multiple holes in the floor levels is easier said than done. There's definitely a lot of strategy involved with this one. 11,110 Edited August 24, 2010 by atariron82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
