Been playing all afternoon because of you Bob! :) 477075 :)
Cancel my weekend ;)

p.s. The link to the other version was on the voting thread atariksi. 100%?! it rounds up then? I've been happy with ~90% maybe I should try harder :D

Think I got the multiplier to 9x points and it maxed out? Just blew it 449,626

Anyone else having strage QIX corruption, my old multiboot copy does it occasionally when you make a quick u turn at the start; the copy from Fandals site doesn't work well at all after downloading it to mydos/mypico dos...

Hey, you're almost at 20 bit score... you may have to cancel the week and risk getting fired.

You notice there's a "0" digit on the left of your high score. Were the writers of this game thinking people would get into millions?

There is a corrupt pirate copy out there.

Hopefully not on cartridge. I had my cartridge sometimes show a bug where drawing is taking place elsewhere and the sprite that draws is elsewhere.

On my multiboot copy it seems to occur after playing for a while, when you make a quick u-turn after going up at the start say on the third screen or so it then fills the left edge, outside the main box! Then it goes crazy and fills in the area as in my screen-shot, then you start the next life but are killed immediately.... I was reading a discussion about cartridge protection and wonder if this is relevant.... esp rybags third post on this thread http://www.atariage....howtopic=146349 :ponder:
