If you're going to use the "Infinite "Tilt"s" cheat, don't use it constantly because the constant thud sound is very annoying. Learn to avoid the enemies and don't go greedy for the dots unless it's safe. If something's on your tail, take the time to chase them off before you go back to grabbing the dots or painting the lines. Also, to enter the invincible state, you must enclose the rectangles on each of the corners.
A lesser known fact about this game is that it's one of the few games that Konami put plagiarized music into, but got away with it. The main theme of the game comes from a quite obscure anime from the 60's known as Bouken Gabotenjima (Adventure on Gaboten Island). Considering this anime was probably 14 years old and forgotten by then, is probably why they got away with it. Frogger is the other game that contains themes plagiarized from several anime series, only those happened to be pretty well known ones that were aired recently (compared to Bouken Gabotenjima which was aired in 1967). Konami at this point felt that they might be caught, so for Mikie they did everything legally possible with JASRAC to be able to make covers for "A Hard Days Night" and "Twist and Shout".
@Goran Kopcic, ha ha ha... We are (were?) from the same country! 😄 I used to play truant & go to the local fairground and play this game. Amidar & the Donkey Kong were my favourites... Can't remembed my high score though - it was too many years ago...
Yeah, my head hurts from all the jumps this player was performing. The noise is really irritating if done almost continuously (as performed in this game). I only watched for about 3 minutes before I gave up
Me acuerdo en mi niñez era trome , aunque ni lo crean . LLegue a tener 20 vidas extras . Despues del Cole , me iba al pimball del centro de Lima . Me acuerdo que estaba como 3-horas , era muyvicioso , bueno fue a mi parecer un vicio sano ...
LMBO I thought it was called Painter man or Paint man 🤣😂 No wonder I couldn't find it. We used to play this at the 'seaside' every weekend from March to September while in our 35 ft and caravan and we had a speedboat etc. It was awesome! Hey, anyone know how we can get to play this game now????
This game played a big part in developing my extensive vocabulary of expletives and made me the man I am today 😂 yet I'd really like to play it again, probably with a gag on
it has been almost 40 years since I played this game and sad to say, forgot how to make the paint roller work. none of the buttons do anything and using no buttons, the roller does not paint. bad version of the game? otherwise the game is easy to defeat.
@@oldclassicgame You are the worst player in this Game i ever seen. It seems you dont know the Principe of the Game: *The Amidars turn on every Corner.* With this in Mind you can still wait on a Corner until the Amidars is goin away. I play the first 5 Levels withput any need of jumping. Cheating is for Loosers ;-)
Man, that gong sound that plays when the enemies jump is seriously obnoxious. What were the developers thinking? Shame, because otherwise it looks like quite a cool game.
@arcade.ly The sound is indeed unbearable if jumps are peformed continuously, as is the case here. But that't the cheat mode, back in the day we only had 3 tilts per round, so the sound wasn't obnoxious, as it was a life saver! 😊 One of he best games ever, along with the Donkey Kong!
No, this is the licensed version of Amidar. There are some bootleg versions running on Galaxian hardware you can find around RUclips but this is the original by Konami
How do you attack the enemies or defend you self against them? How do you know which item gives you the ability to kill or attack them and what's up with the jumping? Pepper 2 was away better game than Amidar. The sounds in Amidar are annoying.
If you don’t like that the person playing is using cheats then please go elsewhere instead of complaining, this is not the video for you nor is it meant to be a high score video. The owner behind this channel does so so that people can see some of the other levels in these games and is one of the few channels I can find that even showcased some of these games
Punk kids will never know how these simply games were so great back then

I THOUGHT there was a limit to the number of bonks per stage. Thanks for confirming that.
This isn’t meant to be a serious playthrough so the invincible cheats are fine.
I’d just cut out the bonks though

Pengo came in 2 versions, one of which with the classic Popcorn music.
"Plagiarized" is such a harsh word. Borrowed is more like it.
This year is the fortieth of one of my favorite games... mythical year 1981!
Man, i played the hell out of that thing in the 80's in my local pommesbude
I like the even-numbered rounds with the score on the rectangles. Gives it a game-showy kinda feel.
I have not seen this game in at least a decade! Thanks a bunch!
Wow memories ! This was my favorite game I had high score , thanks for sharing !
What high score you'we got? Mine was 2.450.000... Two and a half millions... and I'm not lying...
@Goran Kopcic, ha ha ha... We are (were?) from the same country! 😄

i played this for 6 hours and had to leave it as the arcade was closing,1 go for 10p in 82
This Game is 40 years old

There are other games that are somehow similar to this: Pepper II and Qix/Volfied.
Painter is the one i remember
Infinity jumps?? WTF??:

@@SpartanThe300th plus, who wants to watch a game that's basically one big long cheat? Lame.
Que no lo puedes pasar ? GRRRRRR. YO LO PASO

Auto Correction: Odd-numbered ones, you play a gorilla, and Even-numbered ones, you play a paint roller.

Hello
Gibt es das Game für Nintendo switch?
Viele Grüße
I always thought this was called painter lol
Bill Paxton I've known this game as Amidar on the Atari 2600 and Space Chaser in the arcade when I was on holiday as a teenager I. The 80's
LMBO I thought it was called Painter man or Paint man 🤣😂
No wonder I couldn't find it.
We used to play this at the 'seaside' every weekend from March to September while in our 35 ft and caravan and we had a speedboat etc. It was awesome!
Hey, anyone know how we can get to play this game now????
Oh and the Scramble or Scrambler game too!
Those natives on stage one would be cancel cultured in 2020, lol.
WTF! can't you tell the enemies take the next exit, you don't need to jump like an idiot.

only works when its coming off another painted line, but you have to complete the box otherwise it resets
Hey but.. You cheat? How many jumps??
Yes I cheated using the cheat file by enabling infinite jumps.
beside us we had only three jumps per round. You were dead after only some seconds.....

couldn't watch this with the constant thud sound
Donkey Kong Jr on Colecovision has a very similar sound to Amidar when you die. IMaybe Konami was the programmer of Colecovision Donkey Kong Jr.
This game was cool. I sucked at pac man but was cool at this. Cooool.
Man, that gong sound that plays when the enemies jump is seriously obnoxious. What were the developers thinking? Shame, because otherwise it looks like quite a cool game.
This game is better than 99% of today's games, even sounds...

is this a bootleg?
No, this is the licensed version of Amidar.

Konami has an emulator? Or in which emulator can I find this game? Thanks

Bro, you're so bad at this game that watching you play it actually gave me anxiety
Cool
Mio dio ci giocavo da bambino sono 76' .non trovo un gioco dei tempi, dove usciva un astronauta dalla navicella e sparava solo destra e sinistra 😢
This game was pretty ghetto-tier, even for the 80's.
Monke maze
I played this game to death.
This was a game for the old best players; the pacmen crew.yes, sad stupid cheater.
1 Spiel das süchtig gemacht hat
This is more meant to be a showcase video so cheats are fine and not meant to be a highscore video.
The bonk cheat wasn’t needed though
12:00
good lord, stop using cheats when presenting a video game... infinite jumps all the time non stop...
If you don’t like that the person playing is using cheats then please go elsewhere instead of complaining, this is not the video for you nor is it meant to be a high score video.
The owner behind this channel does so so that people can see some of the other levels in these games and is one of the few channels I can find that even showcased some of these games
Baby come back
Lol worst play I have seen.
And cheating.
Lkegue a 3000,000 , fue mi record ,
Bull longplay, endless jumping for enemies activated...
