It has a modification for the ntt where the . key will jump. This version fixes a usability issue where it will cancel the right input while the . key is pressed. This way you can continue pressing right and hit the . to jump without having to release the right direction. once you install it, make sure to load the core 3 from the menu. It is funny you should post this now as I just figured out I had to let go of the right direction as I press up in order to make my jumps work. I like the NTT for this game now that I figured it out, just gotta quit dying stupidly. Will have to give the core a try too to see how I like it.

chuckwalla Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good game and easy to work with a standard ColecoVision controller or Atari CX-40. Coleco really took advantage of the Smurf revolution in the 80's - actually the Smurf phenomena is still popular in many area of the world. 48,700 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 [Skill 4]: 336,100 pts. I was nervous about possibly missing the 300k mark when I lost a life at 294k and was down to my last life. As usual, all lives were lost to the birds either immediately before the bat's cave, or immediately after the bat's cave. You should never lose any in the white fence area, the cave, or the castle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Looks like 336,100 pts. is the best I'm going to do in this round. Had 335,300 pts. moments ago and lost my last life because my cats are jerks who suddenly decided to block the TV and swat at the Smurf and the bird. Still love them to death. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Congrats on breaking 100k! As I'm sure you've noticed in your own improvements, just beating a few more levels makes it easier to rack up a good score. Depending on the layout and point values on each screen, you're going to get over 20k per level sometimes; you're always getting 10,300 points for finishing the screen with Smurfette (300 for the skull and 10,000 for Smurfette).

Northcoastgamer Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 ^Right on. I have been jumping more over the bats in the grasslands than I have previously. I would also agree with you that you should never lose a life on the fence path the cave or the castle. At times I can go through all the scenes and save Smurfette without losing a life. But sometimes blow chunks and lose 2-3-4 in seconds. Your bonus has been updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Here's a video I made almost four years ago when I had 184k. You'll see how helpful the double-jump is at getting you through things quickly if you anticipate the bird's path well. If you go to the seven-minute mark in the video, you'll see one of the more difficult screens in the game and how to jump through that path. On skill 4, you pretty much need to have your mind already made up quickly about what you're going to do when you reach a new screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You went pretty far on your last Smurf around 108K, very impressive. You certainly have played a lot by the way you hit your marks and the double jumping, again very impressive. I have been trying to do more double jumping myself. This game is fun and aggravating to me at times, like I want to break something. I noticed around the 4:00 mark in the video, you had back to back screens in the grasslands with no bat. Quite odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Yeah, when I had 336k, I had back-to-back screens with no yellow spiders, either. I have no idea what triggers it (or if it's just pre-determined).

Northcoastgamer Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 As a matter of fact, I used your 184K score from a few years back to help determine the bonus points for this round. You mentioned it last time we played Smurf Rescue I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out that the score doesn't roll over when you hit a million, and I suggested that others try to top my skill 4 score if they wanted a challenge. Wow. Hard to believe it's been three years already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player One Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) 9200 Fun game. Never played it before, but I watched the cartoon.... I also find the controls challenging. Could be more fun with a joystick. (I'm using a modern controller.) The bird sound spooks me! Edited March 23, 2020 by Player One 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
