[KarateEd]

Just a small score to get us started......

[Rod C]

Just a small score to get us started......

Looks pretty good from where I'm starting.

[Rod C]

It's coming back to me a little. Trouble is I remember some pretty tight moves needed up ahead.

[KarateEd]

A bit of a bump up.....and yeh, the game gets tighter as you move along......

[FourthStone]

Starter for me... slowly coming back...

Score: 44190

[MatthewThompson]

First few goes.

[egrath]

It's not much, but it's honest work.

[Rod C]

Getting better.

[KarateEd]

It is slowly coming back to me.....and I mean very slowly......

[FourthStone]

Today's effort... 62860

[Rod C]

Some more progress.

[MatthewThompson]

A bit higher - but not much.

[MatthewThompson]

New high score -got to the level where it turns into a game of Donkey Kong !

[FourthStone]

Todays effort, almost caught up to Ed

Score: 109640

[MatthewThompson]

A little bit higher - those barrels are hard to avoid !

[Rod C]

Up to the barrels now.

[MatthewThompson]

Bit of a higher score - still the same level and problem, those barrels are really hard to avoid.

[MatthewThompson]

Managed to get past the barrels - was quite easy - or just flukey - didn't lose a life this time .

[MatthewThompson]

Little bit higher.

[tnash]

Not come across this one before. Struggling a bit with the white spanners on the cyan background but otherwise a really fun game!

[MatthewThompson]

Bit higher again - the barrels are back on Level 10 - for another round of Donkey Kong !

[KarateEd]

Only a tiny bit better.......

[egrath]

Increased my skill as well. Slowly but at a steady rate, i feel my childhood skill at games like this is coming back. Also noticed that the minimum lag introduced with a Emulator makes a whole lot difference - at least to me and with this particular game.

[Venger]

I've had a session today, I was all "platformed out" after my marathon effort on Chuckie Egg last time around, so I decided to have a little break. It took a while to remember the patterns from the last time this featured in the HSC (when I say patterns, it's not always that simple because of the randomness of when the monkeys throw the spanners).

I'm not quite up to where I was the last time out, but just a level behind (I think I got to level 14 last time and just got to level 13 on my last go).

[MatthewThompson]

A little bit higher score. Those barrels really are a pain.

[Rod C]

Got a bit further.

[MatthewThompson]

Managed to finally beat the barrels ! only had 1 life left so didn't last long !

Doesn't look like this game gives out extra lives.

[FourthStone]

Made it through level 11 and then died immediately with a bad jump and 1 life left, had a few more tries but couldn't repeat it.

Score: 118030

[MatthewThompson]

Finally completed level 11 - that's the hardest one yet - then saw about 5 seconds of level 12 !
