Probably due to distribution in the US and Sega likely distributed for the Japanese market.  Namco did a lot of that early, Bally/Midway being the recipient of many of it's titles for US market.

I got to round 32 for the first time.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this:

On one of the screens (don't remember which one) just as I was getting to the elevator a woman shows up at one of the windows.   There is a sound affect that goes along with this which is the only reason I recognized it.   This is not the creature that shows up in one of the windows if you take too long to complete the round.

I've read lot of theories surrounding this.  I do know firsthand it can only happen starting first in Round 10 once every 8 rounds thereafter (18, 26, 34, 42, 50, etc).  The animation/sound effect plays and you get 'bonus' points - but the condition of getting these points is open to much mystery.  Some people feel getting a certain score before a round is a something that is needed to trigger it whereas some believe the chicks must be collected in a certain order.

Back in the 80's when I played this in the arcade, I used to be able to trigger it commonly through regular play and never thought much about how it was triggered.  Now though, I'm either dying too much, collecting chicks differently or maybe I just don't muster up the required scores..

I was able to hit the first one today which gives you extra bonus (on Round 10)

You can see the woman there, she waves as you hear the sound effects and additional score is added.  Different characters show up on different screens.  In Round 18, if memory serves, Pengo appears.   The initial value is pretty small, I think 10k but in the later rounds if you can trigger them, we are talking BIG points - like 1 MILLION!

Thanks Tafoid!

This is looking futile.  I may take one more stab at it.
