| Once again, level 6 is the gremlin: three lives lost, one instantly. Managed to linger around this time, though. Somebody's got to get to 100,000 soon enough. | ||||||

| Oo-wee, this one's a big honking mess. Too much luck involved: it seems like the only way to get a nice score is to a) hope a lot of 925-point grunts kill themselves and b) pray to the deity of your choice that a bottleneck isn't blocked by an enemy or object. I won't be improving on this number. | ||||||

| MEMORIES! I was six years old when I first got this game, plus three others, in addition to an NES. Made it to Stage 13, where the homing bullets first appear. Satisfied with this run, even though I missed an 80k bonus on Stage 5 and couldn't get any of the eye bonuses (and I could never remember where all the bonuses were in the other areas). There are 16 stages in all and maybe I'll pull it off someday… [addendum: this game differs from the NES version in that you are powered up from the start, rather than requiring three capsules to do so.] | ||||||

| TOUCHDOWN! Second- and third-ball heroics result in two extra balls. First ball could've been better, though. | ||||||

| Stage 14. Once you complete the eighth stage, it loops. Jeez, the moment you're about to swear off this dumb game you shatter a ten-year-plus record! Let's hope this recording, done with a different version, plays back. | ||||||

| $191,000, stage 9. IMO, keep the casino stages, since they involve skill rather than luck...nevertheless, a fun little game. [If it were skill, then we'd all be getting 7-7-7 or thereabouts every time. -br] | ||||||

| Here is a better .inp this time: 1,310,390/wave 59 using single extra life at 500k plus 2 left over. As mentioned before, infinite lives at 500k so score claimed as such. | ||||||

| God's wounds! Forsooth! Thy game stinks, thou salty knave. Scene 5 with the dragons. And how is anyone expected to run up an eight-digit score in a game like this? (high score advertised as 10,000,000.) | ||||||

| There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to which artifact scores ten million. Level nine. Game time just over one hour. | ||||||

| Default settings. Those 2,000-point head shots are the key. Stage 2. Attempted another game with a better balance of leeching and progression and made it to level three, but made only 295,920. | ||||||
 | 2nd | Pachifever (pachifev) | Joseph "Gatorman" Kristoff (@) | 29 Jan 12 15:18:21 | 6,200 | wolf140 get MAME |
| Stuck on table 1. Just as good, anyway: you have a better chance of scoring than on the table that follows. [claimed 6350, playbacks to 6200 -- PhL] | ||||||

| My first true experience with this game is generally a good one. While there's something to be said about the physics and collisions, the cutesy atmosphere makes it stand out. Stage 12, but lingered for an awful long time in Stage 11. Also check out the glitchy death in Stage 8. | ||||||
 | 1st clone of pballoon | Pioneer Balloon (Rock-Ola license) (pballoonr) | Joseph "Gatorman" Kristoff (@) | 21 Apr 13 15:12:14 | 229,400 | wolf148 get MAME |
| Round 4. If I can find a way to better avoid the projectiles in the second scene, I can easily turn it into 300k or 400k. There's a great game here, but the capital-C cruddy collision detection kills it. I also prefer this clone over the main ROM, due to an odd glitch in the latter that randomly subtracts a life at the end of a stage. | ||||||

| FINALLY! Reached the eight-digit mark which gives you a rundown of the credits. I didn't hit the wall after my first miss; rather, I cleaned up with over nine million, scored mostly through vortex bonuses. I held the ball several times because I did not want to tackle the second table yet. Anyway, here it is! Twenty million or more is possible but you must have consistent play throughout. Game time approx. 29 mins. | ||||||

 | 1st | Popper (popper) | Joseph "Gatorman" Kristoff (@) | 19 Jun 11 17:48:07 | 183,456 | wolf106 get MAME |
| Stage 11. Improved immensely on my previous submission of 158,560, albeit with twice the stupid deaths. Highlights: the peculiar 9,999-point bonus at the end of the third bonus stage, and Stage 9, where I REALLY clean up with almost 40,000 points alone. | ||||||

| EXPERT COURSE ALL CLEAR in 21:59 with Perydot. Max Combo 23; 1 Perfect. Will try to finesse into a 3-million-plus score, but maybe later. In the meantime, I'm satisfied. Actually, I won't try to go for #1. Clearing the expert course is accomplishment enough. | ||||||

| Now that the game is visible, I figured you could think of my scoring strategy starting with Stage 3 as a "time bonus." Stage 6, which is an improvement. | ||||||
