I watched my younger brother play it a lot at Chuck E. Cheese ('84-85, which at that time in the back was the kiddie area, and the graphics and cabinet looked kiddie-like to me; I'm thinking the staff thought the same), but too many buttons for me. Plus the motion as mentioned above discouraged me. Still can, because you really have to pre-meditate your turns (beats out Dig Dug, even, on this), even more so by the third board, on. But I can get into the game.

Last night, I made a mnemonic for the buttons: similar to RGB video, I do red/blue/yellow = buttons left/middle/right. I know, there's yellow in green...but it's easier for me. I found my color accuracy was much better, which lent to my scores.  (I have a full 2P panel, so it goes LL/UM/LR, with the dog being UL. Capice?)

Well, due to the fact that I only have 2 buttons on each side of stick it meant I had to cross over.   With that setup I could only (easily) change 1 color of gates and dog with other.   Then I realized I could remap my player 1 button that is on that side to control another set of gates.   I was then able to post a score of 184,690.   I'm not sure what level I was on but at some point the cats are well faster then you and it's all you can do to just get to the next bone.

Bonus life: 30000

This is every 30000, right?   This was my default setting.   This is how mine is playing.
