Thanks Neil!
Going to try for the WR fairly soon, if all goes to plan.
Area 8 is an absolute 'mare.

Wow, that was close. What level was that?
Have you played through area 8 yet? There's a platform dropping section near the end of 8-3 that I'm finding tricky to execute at the moment.

I might be able to help. I play on the PCB at Arcade Club and MAME at home.
cool ok
do you know if the version at the arcade club has the dip switches set so that you get an extra life at: 30k, 120k, 210k, 300k
i was playing in mame and noticed u get an extra life at 30k, 120k, and 210k, but when u reach 300k you dont get an extra life for making 300k (so wondering what's going on there)

Haha! I can answer anything but that.
Just had a quick play on set 1. No life at 300K despite dips being set for 30K, 120K, 210K, 300K. The game throws that many lives at you that I've not noticed this behaviour. I don't know how the dips are set for extra lives on the PCB at Arcade Club I'm afraid.
So in short - Sorry, I can't help you, but I'll have a look next weekend.
Fantazia2 (Chris) has played the same PCB as me. Wonder if he's noticed how it's set?

(although his writing isn't the best, eg. on area/round 2-4, he says the hidden doll is hidden 'in the rock after the spring' (but i noticed the doll is not in the rock right after the spring, but instead is found a little further on..... (the doll is hidden in the single rock after the bunch of rocks which u have to spring over.. if that makes sense))

I thought I was decent at this but some of you guys take it to another level. Just started playing it again and was beating PB's. I'm a million miles away from you guys but i'll keep practicing 
. This is my highest score to date getting to Area 5 round 1.
Always struggled on Area 4 round 3.
