I'll jump in on this one. Preppie II was always one of my favorites. Never played Preppie very much, though:

Preppie: 13,040!



Preppie II: 46,150!

Great score on Preppie II; I need to get at least half of that.

Meanwhile, I can't get past level 6 on Preppie I because I keep running out of time.

At last, the weekend and some HSC time!

Preppie 1: 10,370

I have a few questions and observations.

Has anyone else noticed that on some of the boats in Preppie I, you can jump onto the tips, while others you cannot? Is there any rhyme or reason to this? And I also noticed that you can land on the alligators' tails, but if you try to move left or right on a tail then you die. Is this true every time?

And finally, is there a real benefit to getting to higher levels in Preppie I? I got my highest score by using up all my men on level five over and over again, rescuing all the golf balls except one, repeatedly. When I cruised through level five, I ended up with a lower score.

I still can't beat level six. Impressive play Divya16.

Preppie I: 11,860

Still can't beat level 6. Down to one golf ball.

Going quickly through the levels seems to have paid off this time, however, in a higher score.

Preppie! II 44,600

You die moving on the crocs and landing on their tails and too near the edges of the boats Fire button is only for cloak in P2. P1 it's a gamble as you can get more dying when you've got three balls nearly done, but should really make every effort to do each screen in the spirit of things, every level done makes more points in the long run. Take the easier ones first to get the points in the bank. Wait for crocs mouths to open and close before setting off in both directions but rush past the last one... no audio warning when low on time. I've got to level 8 so think it's possible to get to 10 Has anyone got this far before, does the game max out

Someone fix that DOOR

Fire button is used in Preppie I, but it's actually bad that they made it that way. I rather get on the boats/logs/alligators without having to press the button like in Frogger. Level 7 is faster paced so time isn't a big concern as it is in level 6 but I was on my last turn when I got to level 7 so didn't get enough time to play around.

Here's my latest Preppie II score:

Please try and follow deteachers' example of making your scores add up exactly to the thousand
Any corrections please post; I'm trying to add now, so this could be one major screw up

Divya - you get enough bonus on P2 for saving the cloak already!
skr - nice job on atariksi's car ... I think the Green Preppie (player 2) was seen leaving the scene
Preppie 3 anyone more comments from author here and may as well check out this one for the full set

[littleman jack]

Preppie II: 16,440. Thank heavens for the cloak.

[skr]

Honestly: The gameplay of Preppie II is so boring that the hardest part is to just stay awake. I was so unbelieveable happy when I finally died...

One thing: My first scores were played on a NTSC XEGS, everything was fine. Now I played at home in Kiel on my PAL 800 XL, and half of the doors (Preppie II) just do not work. The files are the same, so is there a PAL bug or something like that?

Anyway:

Preppie: 16890


Preppie II: 27560


Total: 16890 + 27560 = 44450

Update:
Preppie: 17290



Total: 17290 + 27560 = 44850

My car is silver. My tires will be fixed this weekend so I'll be back in business (or back in play) tomorrow or Monday. I see a couple of people have already hit 16-bit scores in Preppie II. This thread has exploded since I last checked.

[Deteacher]

New scores for me:

Preppie: 16,720!



Preppie II: 47,920!



Combined total: 64,640!

Sorry, Bob. I didn't follow the "keep it an even number" score, but 64640 is easy to type too.

Okay, I'm back and made it to level 8. Those front row cars are a killer.

I had the same problem. Turns out the ROM I had was corrupt. The good one I have is attached:

 PREPPIE2.ATR   14.77K   22 downloads

Try that one out. Good luck!

New High Score on Preppie: 20,310!



New Combined Score: 68,230!

I guess that means Bob is gonna start playing again. I'll enjoy being on top for the next 5 minutes.
