I agree!

This game brings back memories. Many years ago my then wife had a 'world record' high score of over 1,900,000 on level 1 (best I could do was around 1.5 mil). Years later when they started asking for verification we emailed twin galaxies and had them remove the score because we didn't have any 'proof'. Just looked. Her score still would place 4th.

Anyway my best so far is 83,300. The monsters are tougher on level 2... sometimes ya have to wait 'forever' before you can get the veggie!

My first entry: 113270, no luck on the special

The enemies movement is very different from the intellivision version.
The intellivision is more intelligent, they will find the way to get to you no mater.
Whit the Coleco version, it's like they are staying at the same level (vertical, horizontal) then you.
But the coleco's are faster.

The little buggers are definitely way faster in the CV version vs. the INTV one.
