34,195 and trying to get used to the track ball...

OK 50,016.

What just kills this game is the fact that Bentley stops abruptly. The ball just is not sensitive enough. You roll and roll and he just stops when you touch the ball to spin it again. It gets quite annoying...
Also I can't seem to roll the ball far enough--I wind up rolling all the way to my elbow to get him across the screen. Was it like this in the arcade?

This is my personal best (ie. I beat my score from last time we played), but it should have been more... made a stupid mistake and lost my last life.

Stephena, I did try 2.8.4 and Stella locked up the game after this one.

OK seriously, what's the secret. Teddy Bear level? :P

That's a damn impressive score.

Fark it, I hate this game. :x :x :x :x

There's a level around 85,000 where there's a middle tower with the witch and two lower side towers. The right side tower has the ghost.

You have to clear the middle, dance around the witch and take the elevator down, clear the left side, take it back up avoid the witch again and take it down to clear the right side with the ghost

EVERY %$#@! time the ghost manages to catch the elevtor UP to the middle tower.

So now I have to maneuver around the witch AND the ghost AND catch the elevator AND avoid the bees that come out every 10 seconds because it's impossible and I waste too much time.

Yeah.

Like 6 games in a row I got stuck there when that happened and can't even hit 90,000

DONE!

Nice job Atardi if you end up being the winner.

How the hell did I manage 215,000 last time?

I'm guessing I was in-between jobs and just played 24/7

....

I think my record is losing 5 lives on that level. I have yet to survive that castle unscathed.
