I'm going to play this game this month. I do remember liking it but I don't think I was very good and never got very far. I think its kind of a hard game. This game appeals to me over City Connection.

Hey cool - I just got my signature working.

[ExedExes]

Hardest? This game's plenty hard! It's bad enough you can't shoot up and down. But I adore the version on the 2600. I've double looped it before, that's not easy (only 4 levels per loop, don't know how many here)

Here's a score on HARDEST.

ExedExes - 57,760

We don't make the rules, we just live by them! That was how TwinGalaxies has their competition set up, to use HARDEST.

DID NOT UPDATE OP, DB, RSS

It seems the game is missing from the DB? I'll need GC to re-supply the banner for me to re-create it.

I agree it's a tough game !! I have a hard time to get my name on the in-game high score table !

However, we follow Twin Galaxies' settings which requires us to use the hardest difficulty setting. With your skills I'm sure you'll be able to join the six players at TG who have been able to beat 100K

I thought the game was already added to our DB-manager ? But no problem at all, I've re-added the game . I provided the game's banner at our "Bonus game June PM".

Tutankham is a challenge even at its default level of difficulty, although at first glance it appears the biggest difference the difficulty setting affects is the number of available flash bombs.

Beating 30K is pretty damn ok !

I need more flash bombs !!

I did try playing this one but I really struggled moving up and down at the right times getting in the up and down tunnels. It kind of felt like playing PacMan which is a 4-way joystick game with my 8-way joystick where control is just not precise at all.

I think this game is an 8-way so maybe I just need to get better or maybe my joystick is wearing out. My stock Xarcade tankstick is 5 years old or so. Do joysticks wear out? I need to do some testing to figure it out.

Oh yeah, they wear out! I am on my third set of joysticks now.

May I recommend the HAPP competition joysticks as a nifty replacement to the stock sticks that come with the machine. I use them and am very impressed with their results.

Put's you right snug in 2nd place! I'm actually surprised I haven't played this one yet. Gonna have to get on it!

Whoa, I was going to proudly submit a 42 k run, but realised just in time that we require the difficulty to be set at 'hardest'. I share Exes sediments, this game is plenty hard on the default settings. The controls are already somewhat wonky as it is. I think the proper way to map the controls would be to have the left joystick control the characters movement and have the right joystick do the left and right shooting, then use up or down or even a button to use flash bombs.

Anyway, it looks like I will have to revisit this very difficult and unique maze shooter game. I don't know how much I will be able to play this one, though. It is awfully frustrating!

[hansolo77]

That's alright, I haven't even played this game yet. It's one of those last few remaining on my To-Do list.

Those f'n bats fly way too fast!

[hansolo77]

Wow!

I was going to proudly submit a 42 k run, but realised just in time that we require the difficulty to be set at 'hardest'.

So you switched to Hardest then beat your previous score?! That demands:

[Mame Offender]

Lol. Is that for Ex or me? Hehehe

[tthurman]

You man, upped the difficulty, and still managed to beat your previous best.

Pretty cool!

Exactly. I mean, Ex is still the best in this game, but to beat your easy score on hardest is epic. Way to go!

[DazzleHP]

Lol. Is that for Ex or me? Hehehe

Does it matter really - coz you know we all chasing you three (including YJ)! You three between you destroy us no doubt, but it only makes us want to beat you more I predict that in time, some of us here will scare you guys - but only in the end to push you guys even further!

I love seeing what you guys are capable of and want MORE!

[Luigimaker]

This game is HARD

[hansolo77]

I can't believe I've still not played this game.  Thanks for posting another score!

21,180 I'm not sure why there isn't more scores on the Leaderboard?  This game is super fun even on the Hardest setting.  Thank god I spent the money and got a decent 4 way joystick.  Not the highest score, but I will be visiting this again.  I like the fact that our hero has a laser while hunting for treasure.  

[hansolo77]

It's been almost a year and a half since I posted I've ever played this, and guess what?  Still never played it lol!  Thanks for the score!

Saw this game come up and realized I hadn't played it.  I had heard it was crushingly difficult, and it did not disappoint.  It makes me wonder how a game like this would have made any money in an 80s arcade.  The gameplay is fun in concept, but constantly getting killed by super bats that fly 10x faster than you can move is very deflating.  It's hard to picture myself continually paying for such punishment.
