No, It didn't work so the problem is not with DNS, I think it has something to do with Invision themselves not using the latest IANA IP listings - as all invision forums are blocked. Suppose will just have to wait it out and post from work only for now ... sob ... |

Hmm, it does appear this game is extremely limited. Looks like a case of getting as many flukey combos as possible before you become the champ. |

I agree. Most of my go was spent thinking "how on earth am I manging to survive so long?". Now this was down to one of two reasons: 1. I am a gaming god and you lot should bow down before me or 2. I'm a fluky git Personally I'm going with the latter.

First press F12 to save the pic in your snaps directory (you probably know this bit). Then either use the "File Attachments" function of the forum (look below the "enter your post" box when writing a new post, but I think this only works with Internet Explorer <spit>), or upload your picture somewhere (like your own webspace you got from your ISP, or one of the free picture hosting sites). Then use the "IMG" button when posting, to include the picture. And welcome to the league |

It looks like the water bottles give your bombs greater speed and distance when thrown, while the dumpling thingy gives your pig extra speed. The bags enable you to carry more bombs at the same time (and fuck up your scoreboard on the top). Gas and Godzilla don't need explaining and the star bomb seems to have a huge range. Everything else is just for points. |

Kinda looks like when you hit someone with the star ball it sets off all other bombs that pigs are holding. Really enjoying this now. According to the review on gamefaqs.com there was a kind of port to the home comps of the time. |

Phew, my PC is finally fixed! I had a horrible feeling I would miss the first week, but I'll have a chance to get a score up. I would have posted from work, but the buggers have blocked this site... but not the front page, bizarrely, so I could see what game had been selected. |

Great advert which caused a storm of contreversey when it came out, even more than the YS Vixen cover and nearly as much as the Barbarian ad. |

We're not using it for now as we've not come up with a satisfactory way of blending it with the forum. Colin is going to be away for a couple of weeks too, so we'll have no support if we run into problems with it. [size=1]Scores updated in first post[/size] |

I don't mind this game, but it does seem to involve a large chunk of luck to get a decent score. At least, unlike some of the games from last season, yes, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Funky Jet I'm talking to you, it doesn't get to a point in the game where you can't get any further. There is always the chance of getting to the next stage. |

True, the Amazon Women add did cause a lot of controversey at the time but nothing on the level of the YS Vixen cover issue which in some newsagents was put on the top shelf! Times were more innocent back then.

Must start playing this game again, I've only played it for about 20mins on Sunday before losing interest. It's a decent enough game but hasn't really captured my imagination. |

yep opa-opa, it's quite interesting that your "champ" game only got you around 330,000 points, and your high score game has you in 35th place
Seems to be complete luck if you get a high score or not Who says Mame games make for better league play And that's not even mentioning the graphics corruption, and the sloowww down |

Bah. I'm going to have a very low forum profile for the immediate future. I've moved house and am having tremendous ISP troubles. Looks like I'm still about three weeks off an internet connection... :angry: Still, I have a pub about a mile away that does free wi-fi with a pint, so I can take my laptop in to occasionally post scores. So... after some poor rounds, a semi-respectable score (for me): 311533 (Typical this all happens when my game comes up, eh? :rolleyes: ) |

Yeah it's madness.. I personaly think this game shouldn't have been nominated as it is clear that the game is broken and not running as it should. When MAME 108 told me the game was not working properly it was correct. Still, rough with the smooth and all that... At least it is broken in my favor at the moment.. |
