I need to look into another TV or something, no matter what, I cannot adjust to see the last level the same as it is on @nads emu run. I thought mebbe it was my cart, the reason I tried the Harmony-that wasn't the problem, so I dunno.
Sorry for the not-great video quality.
Had this one in my memory banks, Pete, I own the cart so noticed your run on it when you did it, very nice, thanks for the strategy!!!
Thanks Everyone!!!

Solid run Roger!

Yeah it was a little hard to see, but no issues in terms of gameplay

Curious to know if you have played Spike's Peak?

Appreciate the shout out about my strategy, I'm glad it helped you take top spot!

Only glanced at Spikes Peak, seems very tough, but my kind of game, I'll def give it another go soon!

Emu controls kicking my rear, uploading a second place soon, not likely to push higher.

Cool game, tho! If I knew there were games like this, tbh, I mebbe wouldn't respect/appreciate E.T. so much(I do).

:)

Man. I thought we were friends.

Hehe.

Seriously though-Spikes peak is looking to be the worst game I have ever played. I can get to the third level, but the controls make this game almost unplayable.

I AM working on it, just because I am curious now, but...
Ugh.

Great run but watching the video what exactly were you doing in that one room from like 8650 - 179,000 points? Is there a reason you just kept getting those same two things over and over and over?

Great score !! When Alan Hewston and I were competing on this years back it never occurred to us to focus on just two crypts...very clever indeed, and much more efficient. Well done :)

It's just the fastest way to pick up the points-you are working against a timer(the hourglass)at the top, so is fair play.

LOL!

Sorry Roger should've mentioned it's a tough game!

Top score on NTSC is over 400k, but is beatable

Points efficiency at it's best. Scary score, Roger.

Accepted!
