fakecortex Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Interesting game, tho I prefer bug spraying in Donkey Kong 3, where a friendly hummingbird is replaced with a pissed off gorilla. Had to rtfm before realizing that you don't want to shoot everything haha. 55,600 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 In my opinion, there isn't a more irritating character in all of Intellivision, than that damn blue hummingbird. The thing constantly wrecks everything you try to build. You finally set up that last honeycomb to trap the worker bees (so they make hives) and he comes along and eats the crucial piece you just put down.... I absolutely HATE that friggin thing. I wish the game gave you an option to whack the sh*t out of him with a golf club.. Spraying him profusely with pesticide just isn't enough...... 🤬👎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but BIGGER points come when you trap in worker bees. This happens by making honeycombs and leaving them in a cage like structure at the top of the screen. When you finally make a good one to case in the worker bees, the idiot blue hummingbird comes and eats said honeycombs and thereby frees the worker bees so they don't make beehives... The beehives make BIG bonus points. You get something like 2,000 pts per beehive PER ROUND.... How do you think popsicle scores over 900k?

jimblargh Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) 124,600 oblivious hummingbirds for me! I am in full agreement with @Rickster8that the hummingbird is annoying. Takes forever to go to the honeycomb and LOVES to get right up in your grill, especially at critical moments when you're running out of real estate. I might have to work tomorrow, but if I don't then you know I'll be working on that patch instead! 😎 Edited April 16, 2023 by jimblargh Wording 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
