Tips duly noted. Many thanks.
I have found it really hard trying to complete the 1st level without firing a star. Managed it only twice up until now. Still struggle on the 1st bonus level. Rarely kill them all.
Yesterday, I absolutely hated this game with a passion. It frustrated me to the point of vowing never to play it again.
Today, I love it. Have played it more than any game in recent times.

This league is cool !!!!!!!!!

I'll be having a final blast tonight. I'm now recovered after getting home at 8AM on Friday morning with a raging hangover after an all-night pub crawl with a bunch of friends and Swedish girls.

Life is hard :lol:

I don't know SS, I think you should get your priorities sorted out. I mean imagine wanting to spend the night with a bunch of Swedish girls rather than playing the retro league game. Get it sorted out ;)

I didn't get any extra lives and I was killed by the stupid train, but I don't care as I got the bonus on the first two levels :D

Thanks for the tips guys but it took what was a frustrating game at times and made it soooo much more annoying :-)

The amount of times i spent trying to get that first bonus on the first level is unbelievable , i've probably played more games (or at least the first level) of this one than any other for the league week and still havent even got to the train (although to the very end of 2-2 but died before i got to the edge of the screen)

Grr, I'm annoyed now. One of the frisbee guys who NEVER throws low after high on 2-1 just did on me and lost me a life. Way to cheat me out of them.

I was determined to get past the 1/2 million mark and this game I got to the next end of level boss, then lost both my lives VERY quickly.

I REALLY enjoyed this game, but have played it to death now and can't see me playing it ever again.

OK - I've been missing from the past few games for one reason or another........

BUT I'm back - to post the most dire scores in the history of dire scores!

Never played this before - and had a quick 4 goes using the keyboard! Took 3 attempts to figure out that up + Ctrl make you go up to the next platform!!! :o

Whatever is chosen next, I will play more...... I promise!

Time up. Scores posted after this will not count towards league points.

MPM, nice to see you back we thought we'd lost you for a bit there :D

Congratulations go to TK421 for winning this week. Honourable mention to Stomach, pipped at the post at the last minute.

Week 8 game is Chuckie Egg

Well done tkthingy. I thought I had you beat this week but I should have known better ;)


I did try to to get a perfect on level 3 but gave up as I found it too frustrating. The 100,000 bonus' makes a MASSIVE difference in this game and later on you hardly get any points for finishing a level especially if you use up your magic. In hindsight I probably should have spent more time trying to get a perfect on level 3 rather than trying to get further in the game.

Anyway roll on next week.
