Arcade High Scores! Current Game: XYBOTS - COME ON IN!

[Tealc]

23,900. Somehow made it through to the 4th level, the one with the trampoline.

 

[cheesyboy]

i think we should all put it on easy mode so we can see past level 2

Level 2 is very very similar to the final level of Hunchback 2 on the C64. That was stupid hard too

Suspect, having now seen this, that the Hunchback level was very much inspired by this one.

28,300. Got through the trampoline level and onto the next bird/key level.

 

[mcwildcard]

This is brutal!
3,200

 

[Metalface Mark]

29500 - got onto the jumpy screen finally. died almost instantly but id scored good with the fruits before.

 

[Tealc]

30,500 got to the second key screen again but carried a few more fruits bonuses this time. Golly this level is tricky.

 

[Metalface Mark]

damn, back to the grind! Great score.

 

[Metalface Mark]

need to work out the pattern for the birds on the third screen, had a decent run but my fruits had been rubbish so i ended up in the mid 25ks.

 

[Tealc]

Hang at the bottom, favouring the right side of the vine, just out of reach of the lowest bird. Once one of the birds takes the top path you'll have a chance to move up and across just in time to miss the next bird.

There may be a pattern but seems fairly random to me.

 

[Metalface Mark]

i could swear i got a big jump on the trampoline first time i got there to get on the vines - had no luck trying to get it again though.

 

[Tealc]

Apparently you need to press jump just as you hit the trampoline. It works for me but only once every four or five tries.

 

[cheesyboy]

Took me quite some time to click on this, the 'rules' of movement etc is weird.

10,500 best so far.

Bumped my score to 12,100 last week, but haven't had chance to pick it up since.

New game selection goes to @JoeBoi with ELEVATOR ACTION RETURNS

 

[Metalface Mark]

having a bit of bother finding that - i do have the saturn version though - apparently identical - is it allowed - quite a tough arcade rom to track down.

38900 - i dont know if the arcade is one life or 2 - i died on 38900 on my first life so i took that as my score - game ramps up from quite sedate to mental.

First time I've ever played it. 63,500 was my final score on level 2. Definitely one I need to spend some time with.

I have just tested in the arcade version, and the game ended after I died twice. There shouldn't be any issues in using your version if it's identical.

 

[Tealc]

Another one that doesn't store your high score, that is if it is lower than 50,000.

Managed 57,700.

This one will take some getting used to.

I never really played this or the original.

Getting the hang of it:
