Starting off with one I have never played before. This should be interesting. I will give it a try and see how it goes

I can tell I'm much better at the Commodore 64 version, lol.

I'm not used to the CV one, YET.

Nice Game Info headline... Ikrananka, easy to read.

How did you get the picture in the background? I'm not sure how to do that yet... any tips?

Thanks - but I just copied a mixture of formats from prior seasons. I'll PM you and send a template if you like.

To add the picture click on the "Insert Image" button and then enter a URL for the image. I uploaded images to my own webspace beforehand.

I played this game for the 1st time. It's a little bit like Miner. Speed 2 is too fast for beginners or average players.
My score is 9.200. By accident I reached the 5th level. I don't think that I can improve.
Now I watch youtube, how the game is completed.

I'm the one who asked for speed=2.
I wouldn't mind if it was left to the player choice.

HAHA, I just started this game... I did play on C64 before but only a few times.
Well, the ladders that are visible are in the middle going up and down, BUT!

There's a way to climb up/down left/right freely... when you're situated on the platform, (any left or right platform) by walking over left on left or right on right.. your guy will go into a (arms stretched) position. This means he's on the invisible ladder!

So just move the controller up/down and he will move with ease, and grab the red things and get back on the ladder and go up or down!

I hope this isn't an emulator glitch

I'll take a screenshot if you cannot find 2 sets of ladders.

I was not able to do that on the console.

Could I ask that everyone add a new post for each score (rather than editing an existing post) - makes it much easier for me to know when new scores have been posted (I don't get notifications when posts are edited).

Thanks

[jblenkle]

Yeah, that makes more sense...I always worried about editing an old post with a new score for fear it had already been recorded and the new score would be overlooked...
