22,735 Bloody hard game this, luckily it's a pleasure to play as this was my 4th attempt. Hopefully I will improve as i doubt this score will get me through.

That clearly isn't normal Confused

How did you get that score, playing through the entire thing would get you about 60k if you were very good.

The Score Hunt at our website has a score of 64k as the highest score, and these scores are set by people who know where A LOT of the secrets/bonuses are.

@mipe
Would you care to explain how you achieved such a massive score without even completing the game?

I really don't know. I didn't notice in what point of the game those points came... I was mainly checking my own points Smile

Maybe there's some kind of bug? Maybe I should play new score?

Hm.. there seems to be only 5 digits on computer player's score.. weird. Must be something wrong.

I'm really not very good at this game, and I really don't like this game.

Sorry about the bluriness of the photo, my camera wasn't working for some reason, so I had to use my phone.

Second attempt (I forgot to save the score on the first - doh), and I'm getting a touch better. It's a toughie for one week though. Don't think I ever completed it on one player - so long ago.

34,100

Gotta say - it was cool to get back and see 21 people entered the qualifier! Most popular round yet. Fingers crossed I can progress further.

JIT-emulation activated maybe? It screws up many ECS-games.

It's a real Amiga, A1200/030.

Well I simply don't understand how it happened then, it certainly shouldn't, if you get the chance try it again and see what happens... (or try the AGA version?)
