Bilbo defeats all comers in the arcade

[Kev]

No luck on moon cave yet Bilbo whats furthest you got so far ??

If I abandon the idea of collecting orbs I can get to level four.

If I try and actually score points and collect everything I usually get to the end of the second level without enough fuel to time dodging those rotating spike thingy's.

It's annoying because there's a little goldmin of orbs at the end of the second and the beginng of the third levels, its just a case of having the fuel to get there.

Are you able to complete the second level without running out of fuel midway?

I usually run out in the cavern just past the first pool of water. I die before I can get to the fuel orb in the bottom right of that screen. Soooooooooooo F****** annoying.

Yea i completed the 2nd level i only got one orb from that area at end of 2nd level because i was running out of fuel and only had 1 life left trick i do at the end of first level is die on purpose so my fuel is right back up and you get like extra 900+ points for having so much fuel at the end.

Yeah I used to do that when we were trying to score around 5000 but I need all my lives to get through the second level now.

I've come to the conclusion that some of these orbs are just basically traps to make you waste fuel and die later on, it's a case of working out which ones.

I'd love to know how many levels there are. I've got to level four by ignoring collecting orbs completely and even then I barely managed on fuel. It's got to be the most difficult gam ever invented, no saves, no extra lives, a brutal fuel limit and some caverns requiring milimeter precision flying to navigate.

It's really doing my head in to be honest
