Christ. He said he did it on his first try. They say they are playing the "levels" mode - is that different than continuous?

Levels mode resets the targets on the screen after every stage.

Ah ha. So apples to oranges.

OHHH that's a huge difference. Pfft.

Real men play on continuous mode.

I tried "levels" mode first. Got 94K on my first round. I instantly knew something was wrong. Switched to continuous mode, averaged about 30k after that.

So, is there any reason this game needs to be 4 sided? Seems to me if all the gems were at the top, and the ship at the bottom, it would be pretty much the same game. Maybe even better.

so i ordered a "sealed" copy of Zoop for the Jaguar for $13 shipped and i got this note from the eBay seller today with my refund:

Message from merchant: We had a leak in our hot water heater and I lost 14 games to water damage, my last two copies of zoop are dead. Sorry

[Opa Opa]

That sucks man.

I hope you can find another copy somewhere.

Great core concept for a puzzle game. I'm not sure the best implementation was this, but it is a pretty nice game nonetheless.

PS1:
83500

Are all the home versions equal? It may not be a coincidence that the top scores are all on PS1.
