yeah, to add on to this, i can't ever get the pterodactyl on the jrok board, or on the original for that matter. i see a lot of people do it on the middle bottom ledge but they seem to turn real fast back and forth right before they kill the pterodactyl.
 
I don't know which ROM version is on the 19-in-1, some let you sit on the middle platform and kill pterry's on any level (as long as that platform is there), but normally (on any version), you can kill the pterry's at the start of the pterodactyl level on that middle platform. It doesn't always work though, as sometimes one of the enemies spawning out comes after you before you kill the pterry. If that middle platform isn't there, the spot to sit is on the bottom platform just above the (I think) hundred thousand digit. In either case, you just need to face him as he runs into your lance.
 
i've never had him 'run into my lance' though. he always runs into my guy. i've watched the youtube videos and they don't work. for me, anyways.
 
Thanks crazykong ill check it out,I'm not looking to pull off the point scabbing trick just play a game and have a fighting chance of killing one of those bastards, get a 100k is a starting goal.

It only works when they first appear, and only at the start on the pterodactyl levels on the fixed romset (it works when they first come out on the early romset on every level that has the lower middle platform). You have to be in the middle of the platform before he comes out. Other than that, can't tell you much else, other than you must not be doing it right ;)

lancing pterodactyls mid flight is an artform.
1- first you MUST be using a leaf switch button for the proper fine movements needed to control your bird.
2- the only way to learn this is in an early board, leave 1 guy and wait for pterodactyls then practice hitting them. when you get good you'll be able to "feel" the trajectories and either drop into hitting them in the nose or coming up to them. running straight at them isn't great, because they'll have changed speed and height by the time you reach them. yah gotsta "swoop" em.

3- get them out of way at beginning of level. sit on platform when it exists. on the alternate waves you can stand on left or right of bottom platform and lance em while standing. watch for enemies bonking you before getting pterodactyls.
