The only time that I like to play Venture is when I'm stoned out of my tree, because then I DON'T FEEL LIKE SMASHING THIS GOD-FORSAKEN GAME AND MY COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING THAT I CAN FIND PERIPHERALLY ATTATCHED THAT MIGHT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTROLS WHICH ARE LESS RESPONSIVE THAN THREE OUT OF MY LAST FOUR GIRLFRIENDS!!!

Thank you for listening to this vent.

And no, don't ask the obvious question, please.

I tried with unlimited men too, because I realized the game was so hard nobody had ever seen the end(?) in the arcade. I failed, think I made dungeon 5 but I'm not sure (I was using MAME 30 & chip revision 1 - it's been a while). The game, despite other people's (including at least one book from the time) claims, does not move in predictable patterns. I don't think it's possible to beat the demon room (dungeon 3) except by luck, so I'm sending a heartfelt "bullshit" to anyone claiming higher than 100k. I'm not absolutely certain even that's possible.

My opinion is revised somewhat. I still don't believe the very high scores, but if a theory I have (no, I'm not going to post it yet, and I probably won't regardless) turns out to be correct 100k probably is possible.
