Still no extra man.

Level 3 second time round sucks!

Hints! May be basic but...

You swim faster if going up the screen diagonally (helps with the crab at the end of a screen)

Only take the 4 fruits that are part of the bonus, unless the others are safe, then grab them

The crab at the end of the screen will move side to side if you are on the other side of the screen. If not it will come straight down at you. (see hint 1)

You can pre-empt where the fruit will appear based on when you grabbed the last 1. (The quicker you grab it the more space you have) Hard to explain but try it.

Level 3 stay down the bottom and wait for the "power pellet" grab it go to the top and grab the crabs. As you hear the noise that says it's running out go back to the bottom.

Bonus level. Drag the fish to the bottom, go up and wait for power pellet. Draw fish towards you then grab it. Doesn't last as long as normal levels, so pick them off 1 by 1.

4 beers is the perfect amount to play this game.....reaction wise and not to pay attention to the crap sounds.

You shouldn't swim when drinking :rulez:

 

I had actually been thinking about this lately and was going to start a drinks rating system for games :) but then I got all moral about it and didn't want to encourage drinking or seem like even more of a piss head than I am :rolleyes

 

Some games lend themselves to having a few drinks and still being manageable, the best of them have enough break between rounds for a quick sip and to stuff a chip or bickie in your face and are not so twitch full on that you can still play after 2 - 4 drinks. I would say after 4 cans / stubbies / drinks my arcade gaming on ANY game is not peak....but some I can have that many and still play well and some I am shit at after two drinks. Really goes to show how reaction time is affected even if you are within 0.05

 

Most of the games this MGL have been fairly drink friendly with a break between rounds and not twitchy enough to preclude playing after one or two :)

 

My dedicated cabs are very much not drink friendly......Asteroids you are dead before you can put your drink down between rounds and Defender well there isn't even time to reach for your drink between rounds and if you have had two stubbies before playing then good luck you are gunna need it....Space Duel well that is still fun but you are not going to get a high score.

 

If I have had more than 3 drinks it's time to move to the pinballs :) MMR is good for a few drinks.....a castle kill gives time for a sip and so does the start of multiball :)

Cruising along with 3 lives in hand and then the second firefly stage ate all 3 very quickly urghh!!!!

You and me both. Another bonus level and we'd both be looking at a 70K score. Only be 30K behind the MGL record.....I don't think I'll make that but have set a target of round 2 level 4 (bonus round) completed.

I played this in Madison, New Jersey USA at an arcade located on route 24 which was the Main Street in the town.

The name of the arcade was Video 24 and they always got new games in. This particular one was on the back left side of the arcade next to a Frogger, Frontline and an Elevator Action.

It seemed to be sort of a nice compliment to Frogger. I also believe that Toobin eventually replaced this game. One of the cool things was having the gamble for an extra life.

Unfortunately, no epic events or good stories around this game but I do remember it!

It's all happening on the last 2 games ... whether you are in outer space or in the water ... it's a major contest of skill and survival ...

The scoreboards have changed overnight ... a new leader in both and new placings in both ... :023:

2 days on Lunar Rescue to go ... 9 days on Swimmer to go ... and a lot of rescuing and fishing to be done ... these 2 games are quite hard ... just look at the scores!
