Umm that's a good score...made it to building 3 but only at 80k-85k...didn't bother capping exact score cause it was too far from yours and im confident I can get a bit higher.

I/O:
jason -

I think he meant that if only one hand gets hit, and the other hand *is* gripping something, you will (may) not fall. I had not thought of this.....although it does not seem to be the case. It seems to give you grace some times, not others. Best thing is to avoid them. For that matter, if inclined to 'hot foot' it, you can up your score by being missed by as much as possible. Each item takes 100 points off your bonus.

I remember being a gimp at this the one time I saw it at a hogie house as a kid. But once I played it in MAME, I remembered this and understood. Then it is just a matter of coordination - which is balanced by stick mechanics (throw, etc). Definitely you have to be fast and articulate enough to get the balloon in the first few seconds or it is just a mirage chase.

That is a good score. Better than my best I am pretty sure. I got this after a couple tries, 46k preceeding this.

Irritating game...but it keeps me coming back for more punishment, so it must not be all bad  ;)

My high is something like 37k so far

HanoiBoi:
I played this back in the day (middle school era at a bowling alley).  Two tries today and I managed to achieve 141k.  Best part was actually remembering the two columns at the top of the (3rd?) building.  Bad thing was that I didn't even score on the next building.

If I can just get some more tries in...


quarterstringer:
I played this game at the bowling alley too, but never got good at it because I couldn't move the climber smoothly.
