Uh Oh!

Better get the tools out @OOO

The Mr. Do! scoreboard is about to get smashed.

There was some crazy cover art for this game.

What is going on with this one?

Why isn't Mr. Do a clown?

Who is Mr. Do throwing the apple at?

Who is the guy with the shovel?

What is with the crazy outfit on the EXTRA guy?

Why is there a diamond in tree?

Who is the guy in the green shirt?

And perhaps the biggest question, why is the grim reaper trying to run Mr. Do over with those blades?

Missed the opening week of MGL action due to a graphics card issue on my main PC. Managed to hook up an emergency setup on another older machine and sneak a few scores in. Here's the result of my first couple of hours with Mr Do. :) I can see why Bigredbird really likes this; it's very rich with layers of scoring strategy and lots of variables which enable creative play. It's also very cute and fun to play - can't help but smile at times with the scale sounds when picking up cherries reminding me of the mighty SID chip. I just wish the clown would shoot a bit quicker when the action gets frantic. I'll definitely try playing some more - just need to learn to survive better.

Good to see the meister back in action. Good thinking on the work around!

Back in those days, many people judged how good the game was based on the cover of the game box. On this one they went for a completely different interpretation of Mr Do! to entice the gamer on playing something that may be familiar for some but looked very different, and the new gamer who would have no idea. The cover does not say it is based on the arcade game. Maybe people are more dangerous looking than the real monsters in the game?

That's a repeat of scene 2 but harder.

I'll sneak in another little update. If I settle down when the munchers start appearing, I think I can do better. Cheers for the encouragement! :)

That drawing looks great. The monsters in the game are just as eager as in this interpretation!

Amazing score. Wow. Looks like you could have scored more. And is that 133 scenes of gaming?
