Up N' Down is still one of my favorite games, and one of my MAME faves. Anyone else still play this buggy classic?
I think my current high score is around 42,000 ... I keep messing up on level 4. :/ I also can't get the highest bonus on level one -- always 20-29 seconds.

I used to play Up N' Down, all the time back in the C-64 days.
I always sucked at it though. Still do.

I played the hell out of the C64 version back in the day. The consoles ports weren't as good. I never did play the arcade original back then so my first exposure to it was through emulation. A definite classic.

I used to play this one in the arcade all the time. Sadly, I was the only one who ever played it and it was taken away after a couple of months, but I got pretty durn good at it after the first couple of weeks.
Has everyone found Pengo in there? ;) Cowabunga!

I think I've only played the 2600 version so far... I thought the controls were a bit clunky, and the game in general was a bit frustrating, but for some reason, it grew on me, and I ended up really liking it. Up N Down is a nice companion game to my favorite game, Bump N Jump (that all sounds dirtier than it is, I assure you).

In an amazing coincidence, Up N' Down was the game featured in Alan Hewston's wonderful "Many Faces of..." column at RTM this month (http://my.stratos.net/%7Ehewston95/RTM25/RTM25.html).

With that subject line, I'm surprised at how few naughty comments are in this thread. LOL
Never played this game until MAME, but it quickly became a favorite. Haven't played it for a while though... I may just have to go fire it up again. I also picked up the 2600 cart not long ago, but haven't tried it yet.

I haven't played it but it's on the Sega Ages Memorial Selection vol 1 Saturn disc in its arcade glory :D

I've got the arcade cabinet (rarely ever play it, though).

Kind of odd it's only on that collection.
There's something else hidden (http://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/arcadeupndown.htm). I'm offering $ (on the Easter egg contest page (http://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/eastereggcontest.htm)) to anyone who can figure out how to trigger it
That first link says Up 'n Down may have used some code from Pengo. NeoZeedeater discovered a while ago that Pengo was actually done by Coreland. Is it possible UND was, too?

Pengo being a Coreland game isn't my discovery. I learned of it in the DP easter eggs- http://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/arcadepengo.htm
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Up'n Down is a Coreland game too.

I suppose "discovered" isn't the right word. Pointed out...
