Now that you have the hardest of the bunch to find, you have to get the others - Stargate, Robotron, and Make Trax.

I've got a Robotron mini already. I'd like Stargate and Make Trax, but I've got no room left, and I don't wanna get rid of my other minis to make room. Some of `em like the Galaxian Type II would be next to impossible to find again, which would make pook sad...

The rest of you, thanks for the comments. If you've got Bubbles strategy, fill me in!

nice score! such a cute little machine...

recently got my upright going 100%, its a great game... learning still, but broke 167k last night...

controls are unique and the game is fun, even with a single joystick control (comparing to robotron being my fav)

- when i'm big i dive ahead for the extra (x1000) bonus
- when i'm small (barely a smile) i try to eat all the crumbs so i can get more points on the next level (x250 bonus) and not skip it
- getting the broom is frustrating... you have to touch the broom side first but its not consistent
- try to bump sponges and cookies in the drain if you're big enough, 2k
- watch out for multiple greasies that will accelerate you into razors n such!

good luck

Someone said that if you come up from underneath on her, you'll always get the broom.

Maybe I wasn't looking carefully enough, but there were at least three times when I did that last night, and it didn't work...

yup... not consistent... i'm trying to figure that out because its crucial to get more points from the level by getting the spider out of the way!

maybe there's some logic to it, like the direction she is moving in relation to how you hit her... or which mode she's in (ie when she comes from the drain, she's in "witch" mode, once she hits the wall she's in "clean up" mode, and after a while she's in "return home" mode

I've started taking this advice, and my score is definitely getting better.

I'm also finding that "Just a couple games" of Bubbles quickly turns into ten or more...
