Catch
that Meerca! An Idiot-Proof Guide to
Meerca Chase
by
AliceWeazley
Everyone
knows about that fast, you better
concentrate, I'm a Negg stealer game known
as Meerca Chase. The one where you race
around trying to get the Yellow, Rainbow,
Blue, Green, Silver or gold Neggs,
avoiding the Red ones and trying not to
hit the ever-so-evil walls.
But few
of us have mastered it. I mean... I've
never even gotten into the high score
table! Getting one of the highest scores
doesn't mean you have mastered it. There's
no perfect score. Here are some tips I've
found useful:
Tip
Number one: Choose the 'Fast mode.' I
think this is the easiest way... Choosing
easy might make you fall asleep and run
into a wall.
Tip
Number two: Minimize or close all other
windows. Meerca Chase involves TOTAL
concentration.
Tip
number three: Play on a computer that
isn't cable, DSL, T1, T3 or that has any
fast modems like that. I found that when I
played on my father's 56k modem
computer... (it's VEEERY slow) I got the
highest scores. I can't get over 300 on my
mom's.
The key
to getting a high score is that
ever-so-rare FISH NEGG. Worth 400 points
on the fast mode. This is your key to
getting over 600, if you can at least get
200 without it. It's VERY rare when you
can get 2 or 3 of these... That has never
happened to me.
This is
idiot-proof, so that means EVERYONE can
master it. Follow the tips I've given you
above, then of course there's always those
EVIL pet owners who get a cheat code... DO
NOT consult to that. That makes YOU a
nasty lying cheater who doesn't know
anything ;)
You
have to have really fast fingers to get
that Green Negg on the wall and avoid
running into it (the wall). Practice first
on medium doing that, pressing the down
and left arrow button really fast. This
helps getting out of tight
messes.
Tip
Number four: Avoid going in circles,
trapping yourself. This is one fix you
can't get out of.
Tip
Number five: Do not try to play on the
Shift mode. This gives you 12 points for a
yellow Negg, and the Fish Negg gives you
600 automatically. I find this VERY
tempting, but, then again, The hard level
gives you more Practice and you can never
quite figure out which button--left or
right, because sometimes it's
opposite.
That's
it for now, I hoped that helped! So I'll
see you in the high score
table!
