Game Info

Saddle up with Bounty Bob and get set for the wildest and wooliest chase ever.

You follow the notorious Yukon Yohan into an abandoned uranium mine.

Before you can capture him, you must carefully maneuver through 11 levels of traps, tricks and lethal challenges.

You scale ladders, make death-defying leaps, jump from moving platforms, neutralize deadly mutants, avoid crushing

stompers...even shoot yourself out of a cannon. And through it all, you must race against the clock.

Are you ready, podner? Then mount up and move out. Bounty Bob needs your help right now!

Nice to see this back in comission, although my time has been kinda sparce lately.

[Ikrananka]

Great game choice. Looking forward to finally dedicating some time to this game and hopefully getting past screen 3 - yes I am a novice at this game.

The CV version of this game is one of the more unique. Difficult too.

[Recycled]

I'll try to get in on this.

I can't get by the fourth or fifth level. So I gave up on it awhile ago.

If my cv gives no pain....I'll attempt it again.

high score: 9600 screen 4

Man this game can be tough - still struggling to get through Level 4 - nearly there and am determined to keep trying so I can see Level 5. So far managed to get 12,395 with Level 4 almost complete (keep running out of time).

[Mister VCS]

9,890 at level 4. This is a fun game but a little bit frustrating.

Is a higher score than 3,050 possible at level 1?

On a few occasions I managed to get 3,150 on Level 1.

Ok.. finally I can get in on one of these competitions... I will play more tonight but wanted to drop the score of my first attempt: 10,580. I get carried away sometimes... I had level 4 done.. one mis-placed jump and poof... back to the drawing board. I WILL see level 5 later tonight! lol

[King_Salamon]

Mission accomplished... Level 4 beaten.. only had one life left for level 5 and I messed up..

BUT! I do have a new score to post: 13,935.

More time to practice... addictive and difficult too.. I wonder if my old neighbours ever got through all the levels? I remember them playing this religiously for a period of time in the mid-eighties.

I HATE level four. I give up on the stupid game at that point.

[Ikrananka]

From the pictures I have seen online the CV Level 4 looks entirely different to the Level 4 on other consoles - or am I missing something? If it is different I wonder why it was changed and why it was made to be so hard - is it harder than the Level 4 on other consoles?

[JEFF31]

OK - last week I was in the 13K-14K RANGE AND THOUGHT I'D FIGURED OUT A WAY TO BEAT LEVEL 5.


AND OF COURSE!!! NOW I CAN GET PAST LEVEL 2-3!!! without losing 2-3 lives!!!!


Arghhhhh!


Hope I get an OK score in before Wednesday deadline.... :-(


I'd appreciate a pic of level 6 in case I don't make it (Thanks in advance).

Not sure how to "quote here" but cut and paste seems to work...

My high score after level 1 is 33?? - maybe 3350?!

After level 2 6650... but I think a score of 6750 is possible...

Anyone with more info?

Hmmm not sure why the last post is shown twice... sorry.!

[JEFF31]

OK made it to level 5 with 3 lives and...

couldn't finish the level! Just a few 'blocks' left to run over...

Sigh...

15,585 (and I'm glad I was fast with the camera... the 'refresh' screen is fast on this game!)




I checked my records (on computer punch cards! - boy does that date me ) and it indicated that my high score from years ago was 14030 Level 6 so at one time I made it there!

[Ikrananka]

Wahoooooo!!!! Not only managed to get past Level 4 but after much pain on Level 5 got onto Level 6 - but not for long though!!! High score 15,185.
