Use the same skill level as posted so that all the scores will be accurate!

Dragons have driven the Royal Court from the castle! Without his vast treasures, the king
cannot raise an army to defeat the scaly, fire-breating invaders. His kingdom is ruled by lizards.
Yet the young prince knows the castle's many bridges and storerooms better than anyone
throughout the kingdom. He plots to loot the dragons of their plunder and regain the palace.
"Brave boy," trembles his father, the king, as the prince leaves for the ramparts. "Please.
I beg, for the sake of those who love you. Beware the dreaded dragonfire!"

I'll start things off with 2,100

[ed1475]

5000

[JEFF31]

8600 - neat little game.

[atariron82]

This game is harder than it looks. Careful when you jump across the bridge towards the tower opening or you'll go splat and fall into the moat!
My starting score:
8,000

[JEFF31]

Just broke into the 10K barrier. Yes this is what looks like an easy game but is a tough little nut to crack! I lose many lives jumping across that darn bridge to late and die smashing into the wall I also lose many a life in the 'treasure' room - amazing how many times I run into the dragon's fireballs!

Ah the video was an OBVIOUS fake... the music doesn't match the real game...


Kinda figured you could do better than 10900.


Unfortunately I my not be able to participate (well not easily) in the future (playing on the emulator is OK but I don't get that many higher scores).

Just after my 10K score my #3 coleco started acting funny and I could no longer go to the right and the number 2 button wouldn't respond (The other two colecos 'died' earlier this year - similar problems) .

Anyone know of a repair place where it won't cost me $300 bucks to get these consoles looked at and fixed? Would a stella usb adaptor work?

WOW! Great score!

[atariron82]

The guy in that video may be on to(or on..) something Who would have known that listening to "I Want Out" by Helloween while playing this game would enhance scoring?
I just so happened to have a copy of the 12in handy :
21,900

I originally dismissed this game as naff - but it's actually quite fun (for a short while anyway). A respectable score of 23,000.

I know this round is over, but i started using my old controller that i was using earlier this year again.
The up button sticks, but it's real good for playing Millipede, anyway what's the correct way to start this game on skill 2.
I just played this game again today and by pressing 1,1,2 i got 3,200 points
and by pressing 2,1,2 i got 3,600 points.
If we ever play this game again i'll know what controller to use for this game.

Those are both skill level 2. Press any button on the keypad first. Then number of players. Then skill level.
