DuggerVideoGames Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 108,665. Been a while since I played this. I had forgotten how fast the critters get once you reach level 18. Accidentally touched the red wall here trying to plant the dynamite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 114,420. Not better in levels this time, but better in points nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 140,785 pts. I was beating levels with more lives this time around. Does anybody know if your extra lives affect your scoring on the levels? Feels like it does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 156,535 pts. Level 20 is nuts! I almost finished it, but hit a few red walls by accident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Levels 19 & 20 are crazy. But once you master those, you can really increase the your score. The word "Pro" replaces the level counter at the bottom of the screen. Nice score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 218,380 pts. Beat the first 18 levels without losing a single life this time. Took a lot of practice today! After you play so much, it's funny when you recognize the layouts after you beat level 20. "Oh, I remember this one. This is like level 15, and this one's like level 18." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Great score! At 1 million points scored, the score changes to dynamite sticks to represent a million and the game ends. At least it does that in the Atari 2600 version. Some of the CV Activision games are a bit different, like when you hit a million on Keystone Kapers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I too can get deep into the game without losing lives...but then they go quickly...mostly through stupid self-inflicted mistakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 33,785 I should probably be ashamed to post this score, but I'll set the bar nice n' low for a bit 🤣 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 51,000 Guess I went from 5th place (currently) to "5th place with style." I think I'm done with this one though. It almost makes me turn into one of those "cussing at the tv" type of gamers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
