Your flight has just landed, and you try to retrieve your luggage from the automatic carousel. Suddenly, it runs amok, throwing suitcases into the air. You must try to catch the luggage before it hits the ground where it will burst open, spilling your unmentionables. Come fly with us... if you dare.

Hints and Tips
The Manual
As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have a copy of it, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any real hints.

My tip thus far is to A) don't stand directly on the top of the screen under the luggage carousel. Stand in the center but move your little guys down about 1 1/2 rows. If you're just above the center of the screen you can move in all four directions, allowing much quicker reflexes since you can use all four diagonals on the joystick.
Also, B) don't focus your eyes on any of the shapes once the luggage starts freaking out. I got a much higher score when I un-focused my eyes and just used my peripheral vision to register movement and color rather than shape. Peripheral vision supposedly works faster in the brain, so this would make sense.
C) I find that the suitcases tend to only fall into 3 separate spots with them being generally left/center/right. There are three positions on the screen you can 'waggle' into in these three corridors if you're in the center and nail almost all the luggage unless it switches from left/right/left/right very quickly.

On this game, the Blue label cart/ROM is slightly different than the original Green label cart/ROM. In the original version the first wave awards 3 points per suitcase collected and then increase by one point per level. Also, there is a bug in this version as the button is essentially a "reset" switch. Yikes! Avoid pressing the button or the game game will start over (even in the middle of a wave).
The Blue label version has this bug fixed and also the first wave awards 4 points per suitcase collected. (Zoyx: After the 1st round, if you only have 75 points, you have the original (green) version. If you have 100 pts, you have the fixed version.)
If you can get past the 5k-6k range then you have it made. When starting those levels I position myself about in the center of the screen. Seems to give you the best chance of catching the luggage. Try to collect groups of luggage together (ie. on the same side) before moving to other regions of the screen.

This may seem like a weird tip, but on the wicked fast levels, I hold my breath and play through the level. I dunno...seems to help me.
You reach a point where it's almost impossible to lose all of your suitcases. I was scoring over 2,500 point per round toward the end. At that point, the only way you're going to lose is if a black bag hits the sides/bottom.
