On the first level, each treasure is worth 200 points, and each monster is worth 100 points. For every level after the first, the value of the treasure increases by 200 points, and the value of each monster increases by 100 points. Treasure = 200 * level, Monsters = 100 * level. So for example, on level 5, each treasure is worth 1,000 points, and each monster is worth 500 points. At level 9, scoring maxes out at 1,800 per treasure & 900 per monster. Every level after this uses the same values. Hints and Tips As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge supposedly has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, the link doesn't seem to work. Use a master sytem controller with it youll find it more responsive and hence you may do better with it with this game. I guess my best tip is to not worry about getting points for the monsters on the higher levels. I ended up besting my own high by concentrating on getting the treasures only. Seems to work for me, although my score isn't much to crow about. --Ze_ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
