Yeh, I was playing, thought I was close to your score but was shocked to see I had 100 more than you. That's one letter of the BONUS word....wow, crazy game.....

Ah, me. My own choice of game for the competition, but two birthdays in rapid-fire succession (mine and my wife's) have left me with hardly any time to play!

It's a shame, because as with Cosmic Camouflage last time I'm increasingly fascinated by to what extent age and craftiness can compensate for the fact that my reflexes probably aren't what they were a quarter of a century ago - or at the least, they need a hell of a lot longer to get to full speed now than then.

I got to level five and my high score below of 14,600 on the second game (of just two) that I played this morning, but no further, as the leap up in speed which Chrisn mentions above is nothing I was able to cope with at the first time of asking! Yet I must have been able to in the past, as my records indicate scores in the mid-high 20,000s. I think another half-day alone with this fun, fast, amusing title would have elicited a different outcome.

Game played as always on an original Beeb, this time an original Model B tape version backed up on to a 5.25" floppy. I think Prince Rangdo of Arg is trying to attack my computer, which makes a nice change from the cat.

What an excellent, but tough platform. The game has just enough randomness in it to keep it interesting. This time JoolsH - came in first in a stiff competition. Great game Jools and congratulations. Great win.
