Great news up next is Gumball one of the best A8 games ![:lust:]()
If you're new to this one then you'll need to put in a bunch of goes to get the hang of it! Gumball starts of easily enough as you operate the gumball factory to make sure the gumballs end up in the matching coloured containers. Use Joystick Up/Down to control flow rate, use L/R to move containers, use Fire to toggle switches.
When you hear the siren you'll need to (gently) whack the space bar to activate the cross-hairs to disarm the bomb otherwise it's a stick mess for your factory![:D]()
You start off living in a porta-loo working a a skivvy and work up to a being president (possibly) [who said Atari wasn't topical?] living in a castle, so post your ranking with your scores.
Gumball - ATR - (use the ATR from atarimania if you can as the XEX is missing the intermissions) (7.7)
[standard HSC scoring, 1pt bonus for highest score on Monday, 1pt bonus for making Vice President, 3pts for becoming President (wonder if the game then ends?) ] Escape=Pause.
Sweet tooth bonus games:
Bean Machine - XEX - play on EXPERT, it's only a 1 round game (4.0)
[3pts for winner, 2pts for 2nd & 3rd, 1pt for 4th & 5th]
Plaque Man - XEX - superb pac-man clone (7.6)
[4pts for winner, 3pts for 2nd & 3rd, 2pts 4th & 5th, 1pt for top 10]
Candy Factory - XEX - this one gets way too easy so players MUST GET ALL THE ITEMS on every level. Post screen reached as well as score. OS/B translator required to load. (4.3)
[3pts for winner, 2pts for 2nd & 3rd, 1pt for 4th & 5th]
Jaw Breaker II - XEX - the one with the BIG HEADS - checkout the graphics on them babies! fun game (3.6) hey the Fandal XEX has music and different heads to my multiboot copy![:cool:]()
[3 pts for winner, 2pts for 2nd & 3rd, 1pt for 4th & 5th]
Jelly Beans - ATR - just for fun, I found this game too easy for 1 player but we'll have a look at it and perhaps the author (Chris Martin) will improve the difficulty![;)]()
(7.1)
[1 point for playing, 1pt for winner]
We'll have extra time to play so the round finishes Saturday 17th November 10am GMT. If anyone needs any help just post, EVERYONE WELCOME TO JOIN IN.
