No Good Gofers! video on the PAPA blog

Bowen was kind enough to offer up his skills for another video. Take a look on our blog:

Great video - I'd always heard about a bug in that game. Is the famous bug that if you hit 3 left ramps in a row the gopher pops up and gets "stuck" - as in there's no way to lower him? Or is there another bug?

The famous bug, if there is one, is a scoring error in Cart Attack where under some circumstances (and I don't know what they are) the game can mistakenly award 100 million boints when it's not supposed to.

The "3 center ramps" thing is a feature, not a bug -- Pat Lawlor didn't want expert players looping the ramp like they often do in some of his other games (Earthshaker, Whirlwind, etc) so the "block" feature was created. I don't know how you get out of the blocking mode, it's really aggravating once you are in it.

A semi-famous bug: Quick Jackpot (the side ramp award during regular play) is notorious for not actually awarding the boints it claims to. Watch for that next time you get one!
