So, I get a Millipede and get it working, get new trackball parts and fix it up to be playable. Now that I can play it properly I dig into the game. Turns out it's really difficult...harder than I remember, so I change and make sure the dip switch settings are on Easy Spider, Easy Beetle, and Easy Millipede head. Everything else is default. I turn on the test switch to confirm these settings, then go into the game. It's still amazingly difficult. Bees drop a solid line of mushrooms all the way to the bottom, leaving only one space for me to get underneath them whenever they appear. Every time I clear the full Millipede, a solid row of mushrooms appears on the top and moves down after another Millipede is cleared. Shooting a Beetle does the same thing...leaves another row on the top. By the time I'm about 17,000 pts, 1/4 of the screen is filled with mushrooms, and the barrage of Bees that come down all at once leave solid trails of shrooms (no spaces in between) that are hard to clear. Am I missing a major setting here? Any suggestions?
Look at the default settings on this game of Millipede (not mine). I wish MY game was this way, but mine's much harder.
