ATARI 2600 KNOCKOUT FINAL: BUCK ROGERS/MS. PAC-MAN/CRAZY CLIMBER/ENDURO


Recommended Posts

Ms. Pac-Man: Much harder than I remember. Great port.

Enduro: Another great Activision game. Takes great skill.

Buck Rodgers: Somethings off with this game. But addicting.

Crazy Climber: Outstanding game from my childhood. Oh, by the way, I passed on the Crazy Climber cocktail table for $600 on ebay.

That doesn't mean I won't change my mind tomorrow ;)

 

New score on Buck Rodgers

Vocelli: 423900

Scoring, hit counters and collision detection are really messed up. I'm not sure this game went through QA before being rolled out to the stores. In spite of that, it is a fun game. :)

 

 

 

Ms. Pac-Man: 90,240!

My personal best is around 120K. I doubt I can catch Oyama with his more than impressive score. WTG, Oyama!

Thats a huge score oyamafamily!!! :-o

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TOYMAILMAN!! My coordination level in Ms. Pac-Man is very high!!

 

2600 MS. PAC-MAN TIPS:

As a tip, DON'T let Ms. Pac-Man eating the power pill early. Firstly, TRY to eat many dots as possible, because Ms. Pac-Man moves fast in the clear sections. KEEP AN EYE of Blinky (Red Ghost), which is always faster than other ghosts (note that the ghosts have the same behavior, but different speeds). Reserve at least 2 power pills for emergencies, specially on later levels.

 

On Level 8 and all the subsequent stages (Random Fruits), TRY TO AVOID eating the ghosts after eating each power pill. When the apple (1000 points), pear (2000 points) or banana (5000 points) appears at the bottom of the screen, FOCUS CLOSELY on these bonus items. But DON'T WORRY if you lose these valuable fruits, because it's better than losing your life. Avoid eating less valuable fruits, specially Cherries (100 points) and Strawberries (200 points).

 

The ghosts move slowly on the tunnels. After eating each power pill, the monsters always move to the corners. Use this to take your advantage, specially on later levels. The tunnels should be used with caution.

 

On earlier levels (until Banana Stage), DON'T EAT all the dots before eating all the Power Pills.

 

AVOID THE FOLLOWING DANGEROUS ZONES WHEN POSSIBLE:

Red Maze: Long path (top of the maze)

Blue Maze: Pathways located at the bottom, and the corners

Light Gray Maze: Sections at the top center / bottom center, and the corners

Green Maze: Section above the ghost pen, and the corners

 

After clearing Level 8, the mazes will alternate between Light Gray and Green, and change for every board cleared.

Hey. I get no Crazy Climber love? My score crushed the twin galaxy score. Cmon Vocelli needs love too! I worked hard for that score. I even got a blister on my thumb.

 

Well, you can try Crazy Climber love. Actually he is in Atari Age too!

Good job, congratulations :thumbsup:

 

Sorry, couldn't miss the joke...
