I don't think the rom is avaiable...unless you bought the SD multi-cart.

It was released as a homebrew CIB, and the rom was given as a free bonus with Atarimax's SD multi-cart. I have the SD multi-cart, but can't figure out how to play it.

The manual is real vague and doesn't say anything about how to get a plate up on a pole or how to spin it.

Could someone please explain how the game is played?

Go to either edge of the screen (where the old hag pops out) and you will pick up a plate for the stack (looks like a rectngular box). Once you have the plate, climb up a pole to place the plate on top of it. To spin the plate you must climb to the top of a pole, press "UP" on the controller and release and then press "UP" again if you feel the need to spin the plate some more.

When walking/running on the floor, the fire button allows you to jump and pressing "DOWN" allows you to duck.

Might have to go for the record on this one!

Thanks a Million Jim! +1

The text manual I have for this game sucks. I got a plate, but was at a loss for putting it on the pole or spinning it.

Some tactics to remember:

-You can jump or avoid the plates by climbing a pole. Plates will drop through the hole made when a pole rises through the platform, so watch out if you are below
-Knives are thrown either high or low - high knives can be ducked, low knives you must jump or avoid
-Since you never know if the guy on the end will attack, be ready any time you see him On higher levels there is a greater chance of both appearing on your level and attacking.

Plates spin at a consistent speed, so hitting up more than once is good for effect but doesn't have any effect on the gameplay. You can do this to reset a wobbly plate if you get to it in time. It is impossible on higher levels to get them all in one life, but the best strategies for best score aren't determined yet.
