Game competition #8: Mr. Do!

Here are some more tips.
- As soon as you appear at the beginning of a level, immediately shoot. It will usually kill a baddie right away (or soon). The magic ball will come back almost immediately after the first shot. I usually shoot again, and then take cover behind an apple (waiting to push it on baddies). It usually recharges the magic ball by the time I push the apple.
- Kill most of the baddies right away when you first start. (using method above or similar). That will leave extra time to get the fruit in the middle to summon the "EXTRA" baddies.
- Once you get the fruit in the middle... Your magic ball will recharge immediately every time you shoot it. Take advantage of this and kill off every baddie that is frozen until there is one left. Then kill the "EXTRA" baddies. Once the normal baddies become "unfrozen", although they are faster, all you have to do is kill that one.
- Advanced tip: You can shoot through walls if you go right to the edge (Colecovision translation also mimicked this). Try it... block yourself in with an apple and dirt. Go the the edge of the dirt's wall opposite the apple. Move your joystick slightly to just go through the wall, but don't dig through it. you can shoot a power ball and they can't touch you (unless they use a digger).

Hey, it's Eraser Head! That guy's kinda funny. Great pianist. Yeah, lots of these games have little snippets of classical works, or phrases similar to them. I still have yet to play this game. I don't think it will matter much, score-wise, though.

I made an .inp file. The score was not my highest, but it was worth saving since the diamond appeared twice. (For those who have never seen it).
To play my .inf file I made:
- Download the matching MAME version the .inf recording was made on. (I recorded mine on .119 - they MUST match)
- Download the zip file below and unzip to the mame directory
- Download and unzip the .inf file and place it in a folder name "inf" in the MAME directory. Create the directory if it's not already there.
- go to the c:\ prompt and navigate to the MAME directory. To do this in Windows: Click on Start, Run, type in "cmd" (no quotes) and hit enter. Type in "cd c:\mame" (no quotes) (or wherever you have mame .119 installed). The prompt should now be in the mame directory.
- Type: playback mrdo 2diamond.inp (hit enter)
You can do the same to record .inf files:
- Type: record mrdo (hit enter)
It will automatically create an .inp file in the inp folder called "mrdo" (no quotes)
Hope this helps!
