Ladybug ~ Scores

 

346990 - NorthCoastGamer (+25) (+2) I'd be a spider named Bruno, roaming around the caverns of H.E.R.O.

330040 - SBAZ (+24) (+2) ~ I would like to be a Dragonfly, named S.BUZZ. I think I would go and hang out in Congo Bongo & enjoy the waterfall and lack of Spiders.

240700 - Liduario (+23(+2))~ I would be a pill-bug named Tatu living in Marble Crazy.

226080 - Spiceware (+22)(+2)~ I would be Busy Bee, and hang out in Starpath's Rabbit Transit due to all the flowers.

225220 - Snakeboy (+21(+2)) ~ I would be a millipede named Pete and would live in the garden in Centipede where I could spend my time takin' it easy while my centipede cousin does all the work.

206730 - Oyamafamily (+20)(+2)~ I would want to be a BEE named Licyomar Hugo and live in the game Millipede, because I am able to defend people who try to attack and destroy my beehive.

203610 - Vocelli (+19)(+2)~ I would be a Monarch Caterpillar by the name of Franco. I would live in the game Millipede so I could have some friends.

183040 - Khryssun (+18)

159250 - Scrabbler15 (+17) (+2)~ I would be a centipede named Stretch. I would live in the Centipede cart, because that's where I feel most at home. (I would vacation in Activision Tennis and watch the matches to relax.)

156010 - Darthkur (+16)(+2)~ I'll be a tarantula named Boris and I'll live in Darth Vader's T.I.E. fighter in Star Wars Arcade.

145280 - Zoyx (+15)(+2)~ I would want to be a Dragonfly named Yorgle. I would hang around in Frogger. Mainly spending my time taunting the frog because he would be too busy jumping around and not have time to eat me

126200 - Red Tide (+14)(+2)~ I guess I'd be a horsefly named Ed. I'd like to hang out with the cowboys in Stampede.

100000 - ClassicGamer (+13)(+2)~ I'd like to be a Black Widow and bite all the people who pissed me off, mainly my exes. named Widowe. I'd live in Millipede

87950 - CraftsmanMike (+12)(+2)~ I would like to be a "Cicada Killer Wasp", named Stinger. I would live in PITFALL!, there are many trees for tasty cicadas to live in for me to feast on. YUM! by the way, I have a 6mm long stinger, and I know how to use it!!!

73340 - Gorfy (+11)(+2)~ I would like to be a Firefly named "Sparky" because it would really groove to fly around and light the place up. I'd take residence in the 2600 game, Haunted House, since it is spacious and I would no longer have to worry about that damn candle blowing out! Besides, its one of the few games for which I have the box, so I'd be well taken care of.

. 50220 - Karokonig (+10)(+2)~ I would want to be a bug in the Carboniferous period about 320 million years ago. Oxygen levels in the atmosphere were way higher back then, so we bugs were much bigger. I would want to be a Dragonfly with a wingspan of 70 cm named Clyde. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to come to this age and kick small bug ass, because with the pathetic 20 percent oxygen, I would be gasping for air most of the time. But if at all, I would want to zip through the woods of Jungle Hunt, just to annoy the jumping guy with the funny hat.

43140 - Wolfman24 (+9)

42550 - Nikon (+

26060 - LarcenTyler (+7)(+2) ~ I would want to be a scorpion named Stanley, and I would be in Pitfall!, chasing Pitfall Harry!

11330 - Roadrunner (+4)

Seems like a pretty fun game

[LidLikesIntellivision]

ROM link?

 

AA sells the cartridge and the rom is available here too!

Oh, Gorfy was faster and had answered this.

[LidLikesIntellivision]

This is an excellent port of Lady Bug!

I'm gonna have to play a lot to get a high score. And I'm yet to discover how to use power ups and bonus in a good way. I usually just get them without choosing colours or items order...

 

1) 29,900 (09/14) I think Game 1 is the standard option.

2) 32,200

3) 64,380 (09/17)

4) 127,350 (09/18)

5) 221,990

6) 240,700 (09/22)

BONUS: I would want to be a Dragonfly named Yorgle. I would hang around in Frogger. Mainly spending my time taunting the frog because he would be too busy jumping around and not have time to eat me.

[NIKON]

Is there some sort of manual for this game... I would really like to understand what I am doing in this game....playing the game and not knowing what is what is extremely frustrating.

*POOF*

After reading the manual, I can understand the colours of items.

 

Hearts multiply your points and they must be collected when they're blue.

Special is red and you need to collect the red letters to spell it.

EXTRA is yellow.

--EDIT

Zoyx was faster than me.

If someone wants to redo using a proper scanner, go for it. I used the camera on my phone, so there are blurry parts.

[NIKON]

Thank You Zoyx.. I now understand the game.

[S.BAZ]

BONUS:

 

I would like to be a Dragonfly, named S.BUZZ

I think I would go and hang out in Congo Bongo & enjoy the waterfall and lack of Spiders.

 

looking forward to playing Lady Bug y'all!!

I really dig that game & haven't played it enough.

never have played the 2600 version (thanks Gorfy & Lid for the Rom!)

[Vocelli]

BONUS:

 

I would be a Monarch Caterpillar by the name of Franco. I would live in the game Millipede so I could have some friends.

[Vocelli]

In College, there was a Lady Bug machine in the Student Union building. I was there a lot!

Outstanding game back then and an outstanding port for Atari 2600 now!

Always a challenge but such a great underrated Arcade game.

New to me, but this is fun stuff. Worth reading the manual (thanks Zoyx). Lots of intricacies. Interesting.

Have you played Lady Bug before?

 

I know you're very good playing pac-man, I'm sure you gonna like Lady Bug. I'm curious to know what do you think of this game compared to pac-man.

Yes, I have. I have learnt the mechanics of this game quickly.

For Pac-Man Triology in 2600 port, I prefer Ms. and Jr. Pac-Man.

I think Lady Bug is better than Pac-Man in 2600.
