EVERYONE is welcome to join in (at any time) If you need any help checkout the Beginners Guide, contact myself or goochman, or post here and someone will help you out. Basically it's play the game and post a score, screenshots are optional but we like to see them, especially from the better players![;)]()
This is quite a tough game as platformers go but fun! From memory... you need to hold fire to duck
under rocks and not stop over the gaps when moving L/R. To kill the bugs stand above them and pull down to jump on them a couple of times. You can move the lifts/slides manually by pushing up, or just wait for them to move.
Play on Skill 1 (default). If you really struggle at the game (can't complete the first couple of screens) then you can play on Practice level "P", press Option (F4) to set this.
Bonuses:
Highest score for level 1 (in 1 man); 2pts for 1st, 1pt for 2nd and 3rd.
Highest score in 1 man 1pt
Scoring for this season:
12 points for the winner down to 2pts for 11th and 12th. More scoring places if we have 16, 20 or 25 players. NTSC (North American) players will get 1pt per game bonus to even out games often being harder/faster. If you are an emulator user you get to choose PAL or NTSC (under video settings).
Download the game from: Fandal (XEX) Atarionline.pl (ATRs and XEX's - the v2.XEX works on OS/A)
Atariamania has Instructions [Rating 8.0]
Please don't be put off from taking part if this game is too tough, most are not so hard. We have some seasoned pros in the ranks so making a top 12 spot is a good achievement. Be sure to add some of your favourites to the Games List and they may make it into the next vote along with the 2nd placed game Pac-Man![;)]()
It's not part of the regular HSC Season but I've recently started a M.U.L.E. 2013 Scores thread. If you haven't already done so please all fill in the 2013 Gaming Survey so I can see who has what![:)]()
