Pengo

Atarimaniahas ROM version, atarionline.pl has XEX and ATR files (use the "v2" versions).

Game Closes on Sunday 28th 27th June 10am BST

Push blocks of ice to kill defenceless little chicks? Sounds fun OK aparently they're "sno-bees" so that's ok then Play on default setting (Intermediate)

Atarimania rating 7.1


After Pengo we'll start the July Bonus Round, have your say and suggest games to play here

This game seems to work just by uploading the ROM to location $8000 to RAM area and JMP $83B9 which is start address stored at $BFFA of the cart. At least up to the level I got to. Oh, June 28th is a Sunday in 2015 so we got a few years to play this game. Or perhaps, you are still into Robotron and think this is 2084 then June 28th is a Sunday in 2093.

dratski... I spent ages updating all these posts and was quite pleased that I'd done it right for a change, especially after correcting the time zone

Yeah, looks like you did update a bunch of stuff-- a bunch of people at 57 points.

Regarding Pengo, this is one game which I never played before although I have the original manual and cart lying around for long time. And now it's time to play, I can't find the cart but I did find the manual. So I was trying the ROM image from Atarimania and it worked just by uploading to the cartridge address area.

49,220 Warm up go!


Hint: get big bonuses by lining up the three white blocks, more if they're not touching the screen edge

Couldn't line up too many diamonds but did enough rounds to get a high score.

Okay, now we have something to shoot for and not too far fetched.

87630 (round 10) so far on my second go. Looks like diamonds help out when the birds become faster since you can hide near the wall behind a diamond.

Try something a bit nearer, say 202,340 (though to be fair this was my 3rd go)

Way to go see Fandal hasn't got the hang of this posting a lower score than the last person here in the LSC

[atariksi]

Okay, picture is blurred but 169,030 with only two tries. Once I get some time, I'll pass 200K easily.

not to mention the jaunty angle
I hate it when I have my 'good' go early on in the contest... am failing abysmally to beat my score, let alone catch F

I've added a few more suggestions for the July Bonus Bound. If anyone has any thoughts, preferences or suggestions for games please add them. Voting will start on Sunday

I took a picture normally and it was blurred so I took it from an angle but it didn't help.

So far, I rate this port 2nd best. 82,730 second attempt

Looks like vw is tied for 4th, and you're on the threshold of 19-bit score whereas Fandal is on the threshold of 20-bit score.
