Title: ONE Try Challenge #005 - Pepper II
Post by: Alaska on April 01, 2020, 07:41:20 pm

ONE Try Challenge #005

---------------------------
Game Name : Pepper II
ROM Name  = pepper2.zip
---------------------------

ONE TRY CHALLENGE will run until SATURDAY, April 11, 2020 at midnight Alaska Time

Thanks to HyperSpin the next game is Pepper II... never heard of it but am eager to try for the first time... after a beer or two...

RULES:

Default Settings
1 Quarter only!
-One play ONLY (No repeated plays)
Only first score matters
-Study attract mode for game play, ONLY!
No looking for tricks or tips
-No friendly advises to other players after the game
Winner picks next game
-If no winners (draw) Whoever posted first, picks new game
No participants for one week. This thread = DEAD!
 -No need for screen shot. It's friendly competition (if you have the need to stroke your ego by cheating at whatever age you are, then you have bigger mental issues than need to win)
The more unknown the better (all games deserves some "love" and recognition, no?)
-Try to provide your best guess as to what controls supposed to be (If incorrectly recognized as 4-way instead of 8, it stays that way for all)
If you know the game, play it, just say it!

Tip - watch the attract mode until you figure out how to eat the eyeballs

120

 :dunno

I'm not sure it's running correctly, it seems barely responsive.  On the other hand, that's my experience with all Exidy games....

Bummer pbj. Thanks for posting a score though. Feel free to take another stab at it. I am still working on Pirates... I can't even get close to that high score you posted.

Cheers

I'd swear we had this game in one of the competitions (unless it was Pepper) I've got to look into the threads.
Even though I vaguely remember playing it, it was like a new game to me all over again, although it's fun after awhile.

After 1
8,810

After 3
3,880

After 5
18,060

EDIT: Yup I knew it looked similar, and got quite competitive back then too!

But I swear it was like playing it like first time. It came to me after few games what was the trick to it, but not the first time.
