Gorfy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Comeback with a venegance, I would say. Congratulations! The cool thing about this game is: once you're in a flow, you know the rollage can be done. At least that's how it feels to me. Gosh, I love this kind of game. Thanks, Karo! I've always had a special affinity for paddle games. Perhaps because I'm from the Pong generation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I used to roll this one all the time when I was a kid (but I also had a real paddle.) Some tips: You can press the button to flip the teeter-totter. This is useful near the edges, where it might be impossible to catch a clown if you don't flip. If the clown hits the edge, they will slow down. You score 1 point foe hitting the teeter-totter, which is useful when trying to score '9's. If you clear a rack, an 'X' appears next to the score to indicate you have a bonus life clown. (I seem to remember that on a real system, you can swing the teeter-totter back amd forth with the paddle faster than the collision detection could determine if you hit the ground. Didn't try this with my mouse/emulator. If true, it would be almost impossible to lose a clown.) Good tips, Capitan! I would like to add just one more: The shiny, pretty balloons are very attractive to an ADD gamer such as myself. Thus, be careful not to focus visual attention on the balloons (it's easy to slip into unconsciously!) Always focus on the clown. Then again, maybe this is hyper-obvious and I'm the only one who needs this tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Kofoed Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Played again, did clear that first screen: 644 Content for now, but maybe I'll want to try for a "real score" later. As for the bonus, I've gotten 9s in both ones, and 9s in both tens places multiple times, but have not paid enough attention for 99s in each, nor have I gotten 9 in the hundreds yet, so just go with a minimal +1 bonus [don't think that will really require a picture].

I really, really don't. Too gory when they splat their heads on the ground. I don't like paddles.

Darth Kinzer Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 My score was 317 . I didn't like this game at all, it was rather frustrating (not in a fun way) . Also it seemed pretty gory, at least for an atari game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic figures can take a lot of punishment :-). Also, I'm glad that you like Demons and Diamonds better. Paddles ARE great controllers once you get used to them a bit.

Luckly it didn't cost you any points... but it does sting... when you post too late or forget. Doesn't Gorfy get +50 for rollin' along with Captain homie Edited June 9, 2014 by JacobZu7zu7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
