Bmack36 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hmmm, interesting. So I finished the game with 192,000. but after this screen it added a bonus to my score: So does that mean that I actually got 392,000 or is that some kind of bug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, never played this one before. I guess you get a 200k bonus for finishing plus the 192k. We live and learn don't we? Gratz on finishing! I'm getting there. The map sure makes it a lot easier. Could be a little Team Pixelboy nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 392,000. The 200k awarded at the end is the perfect bonus. Finding all the money bags, the three water crystals and the crown, diamond, key & the orb nets you 192,000 plus another 200k for the perfect bonus = 392,000. I should have had it earlier today but I forgot about the third water crystal and had to back track to get it as I was heading to the orb. For this particular game I had 4 lives remaining. Other games I had up to 14 extra guys but blew chunks here and there, lost focus and well you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Man, I should have played this before picking it...I have yet to score any points on it. I guess I'll have to use the map to see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphro72 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 @Bmack36 and @Northcoastgamer there is a money bag with a Crow and a lava lake fairly early on. Is it just a really tight timing thing to get this money bag right off the beginning of the game? Is there a trick that I am missing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just a really tight timing thing to get this money bag right off the beginning of the game? Is there a trick that I am missing? It is a timing and patience thing. You need the crow to be in the middle of the screen and the lava to be gone in order to run under it. You have to avoid the first pass of the crow so that the timing works.

Is it just a really tight timing thing to get this money bag right off the beginning of the game? Is there a trick that I am missing? I jump over the bird, jump over the tar pit, a little studder step, then under the bird to grab the money bag. Then over the tar pit moving right and under the bird again, in that early section. It takes some practice, but not too difficult. The manual is at Cvaddict.com. This was a good choice Joe. I have been wanting to try it for quite sometime. Fun stuff! Not sure what the deal is for the manual link, still works for me. I'm trying to put together a walkthrough video of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think I would like this game more if I wasn't so bad at it. The 1 pixel hit detection is killing me, and for some reason, I can't get consistent results with vine swinging. Big fan of the original tho. 4,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have added a Pitfall ll: Lost Caverns bonus. Score 150,000 or less playing Pitfall ll Arcade. Play Pitfall ll: Lost Caverns, your score (up to 199,000) will be added to your Pitfall ll Arcade score. So it's possible to still achieve 200 - 300k for final round total. Example: Score 36,000 on Arcade. Score 199,000 on Lost Caverns = 235,000 for the round. Best of luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Couldn't find the manual for Lost Caverns, but the 2600 one is such a fun read. Really creative approach to a manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
