chuckwalla Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 60,280 Grew up playing this on the C64 - the ColecoVision version has brighter colors and sharper graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patbb Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Never played that one before. Also, I'm using an emulator 41,810 Edited December 22, 2011 by patbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Squish 'Em - 74,460 Haven't played this game (before the contest) in quite awhile, but am finding differences in playing between the emulator and on a real ColecoVision. It's easier to run up the score on the emulator, but nearly impossible to jump over some of the larger enemies. Just the opposite on the CV...can jump over almost everything, but can't get as high of a score. Edited December 23, 2011 by jblenkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skosh Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Keep jumping over the creatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckH Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 "Keep jumping over the creature?" Just about. If I try to just jump over the unsquished creatures I end up stubbing my toe(ouch) eventually. Jumping over the squished creatures is the secret. You must squish a creature in between two of the squares and then quickly jump back and forth over it. On lower levels, I can do this about five times and then move up the ladder. You get 200 points each time you jump over the squished creature. In this case, another 1,000 points per creature. Make your way up doing this to each creature and you can get 40,000 to 50,000 points this way on just the first pass through! It takes just a little practice to jump back and forth a few times. On later levels you can only jump back and forth three times and then two before the creature comes back to life but you can really rack up points this way.
