I wasn't playing due to the joystick version of the game. I'll have to get cracking with the mouse though...

I've tried it with a trackball, but it seems easier with the joystick.

Don't try to build those huge forts with thick walls, (even though my screenshot shows one, because I was trying to kill those grunts by building the fort around them). It's easier to build smaller forts with thin walls to hold 3 or less cannons around all of the castles. If I have time, I try and build a fort away from the castles to put in extra cannons.

I'm just trying to build walls before the damn_time runs out.. no time to get cutesy with the tetris figures and making them fit correctly. I just drop 'um where I can to close the holes.

I've just been trying to expand on one big fort to surround the closest castles.

Your scores are improving too fast, no more tips for you . The game can be finished with continues, but it only allows 4 or 5 continues. The last screen is an island and it's tough to beat. I had to kill my own fort every time so that red ship doesn't leave all those craters. Then it was possible to build a fort.

Damn, I don't know if I can get past level 5, let alone 6. They start blocking too many arrows.

You'll have to play Root Beer Tapper for a Barqs

I'm still expecting D300 to post 300,000 or something for Tapper, but if he doesn't I will be picking In The Hunt.

Hopefully everybody's computers are fast enough to run it

I never played it before this week, now I have to play Rampart because devilshalo is getting too good.

I give up on Rampart. That was the best I could do. I haven't come close to cracking 13K again and that 25K was pure luck. So I'll stick to Pooyan.

I pick World Class Bowling. KLOV says it's a 1997 game,
but both MAWS and CAESAR say it's a 1995 game.

nope, not yet. No job, so no Netflix account. I interviewed for 3 jobs this week, so I ought to get something soon. You'll know when I do because it will probably mean changing the usual deadline for our little contest here. 2 of the 3 involved working weekends

Doesn't matter what those sites say. MAME says it's a 1995 game.
I might change my mind for In The Hunt and pick something that's more in between 95 and 81. Maybe R-Type.
