Charity Competition - Wonderboy Xmas Special

[TheDaddy]

I'm the same,I think it is you think you know from memory what you need to do but the hands don't work as good as when you we're younger in my case about 14 also you think you know the level like the back of your hand and get cocky then bang dead and at the later levels that's it every life is away but it is still a classic that I can swear at and also smile at the same time.

I reckon you spot on , I just had a go and just wanted to get back to the later bits so was rushing through thinking I could go top speed. I lost 5 lives on the sodding water one !! not sure what level was I dont look as such but its the one were there is 2 sodding squids around 1 cloud (Sure you regulars know the bit I am refering too) ! you have to kill them you cant just jump.

Then i lost , Not 1 , But 2 on one of the Boss'es !!! I mean what was I doing !!!! I have never lost any lives on a boss ever as far as I remember. Getting tired as well though as had an hour on it.

I did ok in the end , I will submit the few I did today :-



One other thing, I was so tentative on the damn ice level I run out of Vitality !!! I mean realy !!! lol. I was shitting myself as just wanted to get a better score than the 465150 one. I did but only just. If i had not lost the 5 damn lives in the other level I would have been singing.

Just not familiar enough with later levels anymore, Hence why I need lost of practice.

Not had a game today might have a wee go later on,the 2 squids at clouds is definitely a ball breaker without an axe but can be done, your score is getting better Dave I might have to up my game.😄

Wanted to try this soo bad! Board faults, switcher died, player 1 start button not working......but it's an attempt!♥️

 

[TheDaddy]

Good score Martin ! These boards can be problematic. I am using MAME for mine at minute as no jamma cab.

Thanks Dave! Problematic is putting it nicely! It's an old boot I bought for too much money and il be in hell when it's not working fully! Tape traces are the worst part, desolder a chip and all pads with a couple of traces and through holes at the same time! It's a labour of love, great game, complete arse to keep running!😂🤣🤪🥰

Thanks for the submissions again all.

I’ll try and get an update tonight. But first Christmas with my little girl so naturally not a lot of UKVac time

 

[TWB]

Not really my type of game, annoying is all I can say but it does have that one more go thing about even though you're going to lose all your lives in the same place. I don't think I'll challenging at the end but I will have another go if I get a bit of spare time.

Was able to have a wee game tonight after all the festivities,had 6 lives at this point and I was lucky to put another 20k on the score lost every life on the one board this game can drive you nuts

 

[TheDaddy]

Yeh there is nothing like doing extremly well with shed loafs of lives and then bang you loose the sodding lot ! Thats what the game does to you.

Cracking score as well mate, i need to try get some time in there and have some games. Christmas takes over.

I wish that was the case!
We were hosting family for Christmas this year, so I've had little chance to sit down at a cab. I managed one other game since getting the board back up and running where I got to mid 300K area before the toddler had other ideas about my use of time!

 

[TheDaddy]

Damn kids !

I am not fairing too much better. I had a fair few games saturday and its taken me 2 days to recover from it. Like that with everything though if i do too much.

I am struggling on the inside ice one (cant remember number) i had 8 lives , lost one at the end of that and then got to the end despite no axe. Next level is outside and so so hard. Lost all my lives trying to get through that. I have increased my score slightly but no where near a winning score. Frustrating is a damn understatement !!!!!

Unsure how long competition is on for, i need to get a few games a night and pace myself !!!

Dave.

 

[Pharo]

Not had a game in a good few days myself as New year up here in Scotland is a 4 day bender, giving the liver a break today so might manage a couple of games.

 

[TheDaddy]

I have just spotted that my score on the first page is incorrect. You have added some points on for me ( I do need them to be fair ! lol)

My score was 468680 Not 486680.

Rained off today in Scotland so I thought I would have a game of wonderboy same as before got one board further with four lives left and lost them all straight away but just beat my high score
