I may have to drag my wife into this competition, this used to be one of her favorite games....

Luckily it works fine in V78. Which is good. I've never played this before, and it's perfectly suited to my cocktail cab (",)

I always found Amidar to be a borderline good game--kind of a Pac-Man ripoff, primitive graphics, but nevertheless addicting, with a good difficulty level to reward you but beat you just right, to keep you coming back for more...

I did rather enjoy playing it today.  My 2nd game netted 156,330.

You know it's time to dust your cabinet when you're playing the Amidar bonus round...(attached)

Thanks,

Dammit, and here I thought I had a chance with this one and my 50k score.  :cry:

Nice score! It was funny for me watching the guys play this at the Funspot tournament. I think I was the only one who didn't use my hand to backtrace from the bananas (I can usually do it quick enough visually). My biggest problem is after the 2nd one, I think the pig moves quicker across the top and I usually miss the one I want.
