Greetings! Not sure on the bonus points, first time playing this one. Can adjust as necessary. Let the games begin!

[DuggerVideoGames]

109,450 pts.  They got me on round 5.  This is harder than the arcade version, in my opinion (I've had over 400k on arcade version), but a fun game to play!  I recommend you take your picture after losing your life; however, if you fail to do so, the game still shows your high score on the screen when you start a new game.

 

If any of you are confused by the controllers and how they're mapped by default, here's how it is mapped by default on my gamepad.

 

Left door = left fire

Middle door = up on d-pad

Right door = right fire

 

It can feel weird and take some getting used to with those button mappings, but enjoy.  Happy shootin', Tex!

Anybody else saw numbers between the white boxes?

I was wondering if it was for identifying the door number where a bank robber will show next.

In the arcade version, the number appears in the back of the customers after a deposit.

 

[DuggerVideoGames]

134,250 pts.  Had only one door left on the level (door 12) with time running low, and no deposits were being made.  Just five or six bad guys in a row showing up at door 12.  Ran out of time.

 

 

 

[DuggerVideoGames]

90% of the time, I find an arcade version of a game to be more difficult than a Colecovision game; however, this is one of those rare times where the Coleco is the most difficult version for me.  Haha.

 

My personal best on Sega Master System:  580,450 pts.

My personal best on Arcade:  483,500 pts.

My personal best on Colecovision so far:  134,250 pts.

I'm currently playing the game on my Phoenix and I'm seeing a lot of corruption appear in and around the white boxes.  Makes playing the game even more difficult as often I don't know where I still need to collect money from.  I'll try the game on my normal CV and see if it does it on that too.

Really enjoying this game - but it is very difficult.

What do you mean by corruption?  Awfully glitched graphics?  Or just a partial dollar amount in the box?  If you're seeing a partial dollar amount in the box, that means they're in the process of robbing that door.

39,450 - Never played this game before, it's pretty unforgiving especially when you press the button, but the bandit gets you first.

Personally, I see a number in a black circle between the white boxes.

Most of the time it's between 10 and 11 I think.

I will try to record a game.

I'm using MAME, what emulator are you using?

 

 

As Dugger said, when you see [...] at the bottom of a white box, it's because that door is currently getting rob.

If you go to it, a robber will appear with a bag in his hand.

If you shoot him and the timer is at 0.00 you will get 5000 points + a letter to spell EXTRA.

155,850 pts.  Got me on round 7.  Let my guard down for a second while staring at door 1 as I was about to beat the level.  D'oh!

I don't 100% understand this game. Is there a manual for it floating around someplace?

They're graphical glitches with garbled tiles sometimes between white boxes and sometimes within the white boxes.  They are strange characters and definitely not part of the game.  This all rang a bell so I dug out my copy of the boxed game and Team Pixelboy did include a loose sheet with a warning that the graphical glitches are known bug but that they are minor and shouldn't interfere with being able to play the game.  So I just played the game on my original CV and the glitches occurred MUCH less.  Also, I couldn't get the cart to work on my Phoenix but it works on my original CV.  So, looks like the Phoenix (and some emulators???) exacerbate the problem.

Thanks for the info.

I am enjoying watching this so far. Nice game pick Mr. Dugger.
