RadioPoultry 599 Report post Posted July 29 (edited) 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!

RickR 11,996 Report post Posted July 30 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. 2 RadioPoultry and Justin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 6,965 Report post Posted July 31 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 1 RickR reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
