The airport kind of disappointed me, I like the X-ray machine though.
There are 2 new movies, the prizes at the arcade are eyes and a space ship. I didn't check macs toybox.

The prizes for the first part of the game The Haunted House on Horror Hill-
60 tickets
crystal ball lamp:no more electricity bills.
music: spooky island
magic window: with witches passing over the moon
300 tickets
burger hat
suit of armor:luckily, it's not the bloo knight

So there's an airport now? Do you think it will be used to transport you to different areas? Or maybe just different games altogether, lol.

OMG LODE RUNNER! That was one of my all-time fave games way back when we had a Commodore 64. Yeah, that's how old I am.

My brother and I would play it for hours. lol

Anyway, it's a SUPER easy game! I got to 650 pts by Level 2 by trapping the ghost over and over, getting the bonuses, and then running out of time (you have 4+ minutes in the early levels, 6+ min in level 5 and higher). The bonuses accumulate in the game, and don't disappear after a few short seconds, so you can rack up a ton of points by getting the money bags and lots of lives getting the books. This allows you to play the same level over and over again and not have to worry about running out of lives (unless you die before you get more books).

The key to getting the ghost is to shoot two holes next to each other in between you and the ghost. The ghost will fall into the first for 3 points, then he'll get out and drop into the second for another 3 pts. If either hole closes up on him you'll score an additional 5 points - for a total of 11 points per ghost. Sometimes a third hole is needed, but 2 usually did the trick. BE CAREFUL on the bottom floor, if you fall in the hole you cannot get out, you'll die once the hole closes. In the real game, ghosts will fall down through holes to lower floors, like you do. In this game, they don't, they will just stay in the hole on that floor.

I was able to get the score to get all collectibles by Level 3 and then just wouldn't take the whole time to pass levels just to see what higher ones looked like. With all the hour glasses you get, it's very difficult to run out of time. So if you want to get most of your points on easy levels, I suggest taking all the time to get as many points as you can from trapping ghosts and the money bags, then letting time run out. Do it over and over, and like I said, I got to 650 pts in level 2 before I decided to just move on. It's a really easy game, though. I don't think I went higher than level 6 or 7, so I don't know how difficult it gets later on.

Anyway, hope that helps!

I would think Jumpman 2 or jumpman jr better represents the game.

but my memory is a bit week so I could be wrong.

Vicks · 10-17-2007, 07:24 PM

Nah, it's more Lode Runner. Jumpman and Jumpman Jr were my all time faves. Okay, well, I have a lot of faves, but those two were at the very top of my list with Lode Runner. In neither game could you "shoot" that I recall, you were shot at, but couldn't shoot. Remember, you jumped and had the ladders and up and down ropes? That may jog your memory some.

In fact, my brother found a TON of old games we used to play on the 64 and he's got them on the xbox. Not sure where or how he got them for that (I don't ask questions), but I've played them and it brings back soooooooo many memories.

It's really neat that Craig and Co. have incorporated a lot of old games and shows into their cartoons and BFAHP. I love it!

I wish I had read the tips Vicks gave before playing this game. The first time I played I did not do much trying to trap ghosts because I kept pressing the wrong key and drilling a hole on the wrong side (I am not very game savvy and have only owned a Coleco and original Game Boy in my lifetime. I broke so many joysticks in frustration playing the former that I finally called it quits to playing video games). It took me almost 30 levels to get to my high score of ~1700. I played again today to show my son the game and did a little more trapping and waiting for bonuses and got to around 1300 in around 20 levels. I do like the fact that bonuses pop up a lot and do not disappear quickly (unlike Bedtime Bedlam) and that you have a lot of time to complete a level. I don't like that when you fall off a level you don't "drift" if you press the L or R arrow key. A couple times I dropped right onto a ghost. But overall it is a fairly easy game to play and anyone should be able to get all the gifts the first or second time around.
