Northcoastgamer Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Greetings, this will be a 4 week round with 3 GREAT games to play! I have eliminated the Combined Scoring. The round winner will win the $25 Gift Certificate. As noted, if myself or a recent round winner wins the round, the player with the next Highest Round total gets the gift certificate, so everyone gets a fair chance at one. As for the Moderator Bonus, I've never played Boulder Dash for the Colecovision (up until today). On that note, Good Luck and Have Fun! Jeff.

DuggerVideoGames Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Never played Boulder Dash in my life. Looking forward to giving it a try. Meanwhile, here's my Donkey Kong Jr. score. Not even close to my best and I lost several lives stupidly, but still a good run.Donkey Kong Jr. (Skill 1): 327,300 pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Boulder Dash 1,518. Made it to the fourth cave and got splattered right away. Fun game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 1,429 pts in Boulder Dash. I cleared 2 caves, but I keep running out of time before I can find the exit on the 3rd cave. It's tricky when you're navigating around all those rocks and avoiding being squished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles... I messed up any chance I had of beating this level the 2nd time around by accidentally falling down the slides before I could get the edges. Finished Miner 2049er with 69,755 pts. Played it for about an hour before finally doing that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangia-Boy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I was always fascinated by the Miner 2049er game, although I never was good in it. In my eyes the Colecovision version ist even harder than the Atari 8bit version. Of course, the 2600 version is the hardest (I think the version is unbeatable) , but this one doesn't count, because it's the absolute fiasco and presumably the worst existing VCS game of all. Back to Coleco: I never passed the 6th level, most often I failed earlier in the 4th one, the first three are easy. Congratulations to Northcoastgamer and DuggerVideoGames for their walkthrough, I take my hat off (I hope this expression is correct) But how did you learn to be so strong, exercise over and over again? And did you use the code to begin with higher levels for training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
