*edit...I was using the incorrect romset...I noticed Dean playing and on the first screen the character didn't have a slapper. The couple of arcade Fantasys I saw bitd must have been the US version, and I already had that version downloaded so I used it. Sorry!

The game is fairly easy except for three stages...the pirate ship and the two helicopter scenes.

I remember discussing this one with Dwayne several years back. I reached the 4th helicopter scene and died there. Dwayne said either he or his friend Jean Baudin achieved somewhere close to the 400K mark man years back,

The long helicopters is a semi-pattern...I find that the bottom section tends to be safest even when they go much faster.

The final helicopter scene can be very unforgiving...but landing on that pirate ship can be a major stumbling block.

WooHoo...72K !!

Cannot BELIEVE that I lost two lives in the lion stage but using a keyboard is a real beeyotch for that little challenge.

Secret to level 1 helicopters is simple.

-> Stay in bottom section primarily
-> When group of copters approach in pack, go above the horizontal of lowest copter and others rise
-> When they are close start to go down
-> Do not do this too closely as sometimes the top copter moves down when near the left side of the screen
-> Whenever an opening exists and it is clear to the right, move up to coax any incoming copters upwards...this is key else the start to congregate on the bottom

Works 95% of the time...occassionally it is a tight squeeze on the far left either due to the middle level copter or keeping at the extreme bottom to go undeneath a copter. Usually I lose 0-1 lives here.

Strategy is good for level 2 but is MUCH tougher in terms of tighter timing and faster moving copters.

Final stage is tricky and sometimes seems unfair...recommend you start at the top right maybe an inch away from where they appear and hope the cannon takes out 1-2 in the 1st volley,
