Deteacher Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The hit detection is VERY unforgiving. Jumping and getting hit by a barrel on the ramp above you really sucks. And ALWAYS stop moving before smashing something with a hammer...it's much easier to be killed while moving with the hammer in the A8 version than the arcade version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) 191,200! Got to level 6. Question: On the elevator level, did they move the ledge from the right elevator over? I went for the jump and didn't even come close to making it. Edited February 5, 2020 by Deteacher 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time since I saw the later levels but I think there are some small changes, McKong over to you ;) Improved to 111,700 then 118,100 still that first board on Level 5 is my sticking point ? Fun Challenge most things hit with a hammer - I had 11 mainly pies - could do separate challenge for barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the platforms on the girder screen move on the 6th level making that jump impossible 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusakat Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Still haven't found my joystick/gamepad, but have improved my score: 50,500 Enjoying this game again. I remember playing this on my Atari 800XL more than at the arcade, so this is the version of the game that I love. Of course, I could play this more because I didn't have to plunk in any coins just to play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ok, I finished level 2 and just barely made it to the beginning of level 3, far better than I had anticipated. Donkey Kong - 31400 pts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 101,000 - was a bit rusty as first. Also the Hyperkin Ranger joystick is not a good fit for the fast pace of this game - had to get my CX40 out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARBUG Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Managed to grab an hour or so this evening. Gonna hit this game properly this weekend (with a bit of luck) Not a huge improvement, but I'm well happy with it 81,100 Also, is anybody else playing on NTSC? It seems so fast, I'm absolutely terrified on every stage (bar the rivet stage), wondering if I'd have better luck trying a PAL version on Emulator?

Magmavision2000 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) This might be the highest I can go:The second elevator level is my kryptonite. EDIT: I was able to boost it up to 53,000. Going to work on it more tomorrow. Edited February 7, 2020 by Magmavision2000 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 After a long session beat the first screen on level 5 a couple of times, nearly beat it but a pie got me on the top ladder as I was making a sneaky pass through the level - improved to 126,300 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
