RadioPoultry Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) This post was recognized by Justin! "Winning a High Score Squad Challenge!" RadioPoultry was awarded the badge '1st Time Squad Champ' and 5 points. 51,580. Managed to get through the first course without losing any lives! Then quickly lost them when I got to a couple tricky spots I wasn't very experienced with. I used to play the Apple II version of this game pretty often many, many years ago. The one signicant feature of that version that is absent here were the moon plant obstacles. This version is smoother, though. I'm surprised by just how much activity can occur on the screen at once!

Justin Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Closing in on 40,000 points. Wish I had more time to play this. Great scores everyone, we're really pushing this game. RadioPoultry and RickR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 48,020. I'm pretty sure I could never do this well again. There's a series of jumps that I must of lost 3 lives on. Justin and RadioPoultry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just joined the 40,000 points club! This game is brutal. Made it all the way through the first course without losing any lives, then get snagged up on those laser tanks on the first leg of the second course. It's hard to jump over the craters and land in time to be able to shoot down their laser blast. 40,000 points was my goal, let's see if I can do better! My High Score: 40,400 RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...that went more like Peanut's "Jeff-fafa" statement. Joke of the century. LOL. Either way...I had a blast and I kept getting close to my previous score but I never reached 20,000 points. This game is tough as nails. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be the least bit surprised if this ad was in DC Comics too! Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
