Branch by Branch

I have a new favorite Arcade game: Tropical Troubles. This involves the monkey from "Bananza," which I've always had trouble managing, jumping from branch to branch collecting bananas, avoiding deadly spiders and insects, and knocking over pineapples and cocoanuts to possibly roll on the deadly spiders and insects, which gains you extra points.

I can't say I'm really good at it—I think my highest score has been 22—but I really enjoy it because it reminds me of the old Jumpman game—and if the monkey falls, he doesn't get killed the way Jumpman does. :-)

I do hate that one bug, though, the one with the big eyes that pops up and follows the monkey. The other bugs just wander at random, and the spiders just crawl up and down branches, but you either have to scramble to avoid the big-eyed one, let yourself get bitten, or hit it with a cocoanut or pineapple to get rid of it. It's a pain in the neck.
