Nice! Get them sir.

Wait until you get to Loop 6 when the red snakes appear. They don't follow you and are much more sneakier/snakier.

FWIW I think it's awesome Congo Bongo has that drastic of a change that far into the game. Loop 6 a new enemy is introduced. Loop 6!!!
 
I brought mine to cax last year and someone put 99k on it... I might end up clearing the scores cuz i have a ways to go to get there

DDD, was it tronguy?
 
NICE!!!!

we gotta figure out how TORIN is so good at this game and leads with the #1 position with an insane score of 49,930 !!!

lol.

Believe it or not, it's one of my favorite games and most played on my ArcadeSD. I find the Rhino level to be the hardest to pass. Once you get the patterns down for the levels, you can start to rack up points. Similar to Donkey Kong with the timer bonuses increasing as you get to higher levels.

You can get 1000 points for going down the holes on the Rhino stage. You can also get 1000 points if you jump across right spot over the cavern on the first level.

You also just get points for walking back and forth so you can do this while just waiting for a lily pad or something.
 
I have never seen stage 3 and 4 before that i remember until i saw the hints link posted. I never knew you could walk by the snakes. I always liked the c64 version of this game when I was younger but never was any good at it. And I'm not much better with the arcade version. Perhaps will have to try this tonight to see if I can get a higher score.

This is one of my 5 y/o daughter's favorites on the 60-in-1. I'm not sure why but maybe she will tell me next time she plays.
 
Good gawd...playing on the ArcadeSD with an 8-way that obviously needs to be adjusted because I was sucking arse at this last night! Surely there could be no other excuse, has to be the stick...

I managed 8280 in my first game and couldn't get much closer to that in subsequent games. One of the more infuriatingly frustrating games!

Now then...how about a Pengo tourney???
 
Personally i think its a much better use of isometric than zaxxon... The q-bert style controls make all the difference

If anyone in the bay area wants to post scores from a real machine feel free to come over...
 
Ones under it were DYL figured it was you and just got lazy... And its cax so i didn't expect a personal best

I've never really seen anyone good play this game, seeing some skills would be fun

I think it was me.

I could never get a real good game going. I remember now.
 
well... at least i made it past the rhinos... whopping score of 13320.... not too bad of a game but man, i am not that great at it... as for the snake tip on the second one, i cannot get past them on the side so i just jump them. the part i have trouble with are the rhinos. i vaguely remember making it past them before but i guess i have never done the full cycle before and have yet to
 
I really need to get a setup back in my house with joystick and buttons. Playing on mame with the keyboard sucks.

Huh, now that I think about it, I have a big blue just sitting here, and a Raspberry Pi 3 with Retropie on it.
