DT Kofoed Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 11900 gets me to the 10k club in B/B Find myself almost wishing the bonus was for one of the hacks of this so I'd have am excuse to try them out. I never gave this game much attention before, but I find the scoring mechanics quite fun for the risk/reward nature of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkham Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I've been playing it on emulator for a bit and I'm doing alright, but I'll probably go for the high score later. I just wanted to point out, does the ghost thing that chases you out of the room remind anyone else of those masks from Super Mario Bros. 2? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I read the manual. I didn't know you get points for shooting the monsters AFTER obtaining the treasure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkham Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I dig your avatar, Sharkham! Thanks! It combines my two greatest loves, spooky skeletons and tacky nostalgic items.

Gorfy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks! It combines my two greatest loves, spooky skeletons and tacky nostalgic items. Love yours, too, Robot Monster for better or worse is an absolute work of art. I love the 3-D glasses on your skull. I once flew to NYC in order to see Robot Monster in the original 3-D! At the time, Grandpa Munster hung out at an Italian restaurant (called "Grandpa's" maybe, don't quite remember) there and I got to shake his hand. He sat at the front table consuming free food and wine and declaring "bon appetite, enjoy!" to everyone who walked in. Great trip!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Another one of my dad's favorites on the Colecovision! B/B - 11,000 A/A - 3,600 45 cents for an Atari game. Man, those were the days... 45 cents and in perfect condition! What days were those, the '90's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 45 cents and in perfect condition! What days were those, the '90's? Yeah. 97-ish probably. One of the thrift stores I found a lot of stuff at around that time handwrote the prices right on the cart like that in black or red pen. I got out my Kool-Aid man a couple of weeks ago to show a friend who asked about it and it at 95 written on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Just to get on the board for now. Emulated with keyboard controls. Totally sucks. Extremely frustrating, just like a few years ago when we last played it. I was sure that meanwhile I have got the cart, but couldn't find it for the moment. Need to dig in that box I acquired recently... Venture B/B: 1,400... Not even gonna try A/A for now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
