IntyFanMatt Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Dreadnaught is awesome and one of the best games for the system. It's in my top 3. Definitely worth getting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 There's actually another one up on the auction site for 20 bucks, BIN, CIB & Free shipping. Just a heads up for anyone interested. Looks maybe a bit nicer condition than the one I just got... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If I can breach 300 points, I usually consider it a good round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Guys: Here is the Frog Bog Overlay if needed. NOTE: The bonus level is the 'enter' button. Dir. & Tongue.

I don't want to get too far off topic in the Frog Bog thread, but this really would be a good price. Seems like when I've seen this game up for sale it's upwards of $35-45 bucks. Maybe CIB, but sometimes not. So... Ok, back to Frog Bog! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffMan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Intelligentleman said: Also, you guys ever notice how the night time stage sometimes lasts longer or shorter? Is that a random thing, or... Night ends after the remaining on-screen bugs are eaten or leave the screen. Could be short if you snag 'em quickly, but nothing else will spawn once night falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 445 - disc Should have had another 25, but the missus needed one last snack before bedtime. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 410 - bonus (dir+tongue) This is definitely the main way we played BITD, mainly because you can score so much higher, but going to take some refresher practice to get back to that point. Landing in the water way too often. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeper learning curve, but more control over the frog. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's completely superior in all ways to the automated one and after you've played for a while, you'll start to get frustrated at ones you should have had but the game wouldn't let you. That said, there is a significant learning curve to not fly around like a maniac, but it's oh-so-awesome when you manage one of those dual-dragonfly hits because you jumped just right. ? I always thought the controls on this were pretty impressive actually. The combination of direction and duration of press was implemented really well and once you wrap your brain around it, allows for an exceptional amount of precision in your jumps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a family favorite BITD, but feels pretty rusty to play now. I think we must have spent an insane amount of time on it. I remember we would rarely miss a bug between the two players. My father and I got the high score on this round in the Intellivision VideoChallenge finals, but that was mostly because he was awesome at the game. ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Just a point of interest. I think the manual has a mis-print. The highest points bug (horsefly?) is actually worth 25 points, not 35 points. @BiffMan can correct me if I'm wrong.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
