how many times do you lose at baracle blast to get the big paddle, i do not need a save.

I found this info on another forum. I've never tried this myself.

okay thank you very much.

I replayed this game a couple of months ago - it's still fun.

so am i and it didn't work i just kept having to lose to get the big paddle.

Well, the method I mentioned worked for some people, apparently - but it's good to know that your way worked too. I'll remember this the next time I play.

Family, I'm not 100% sure, because it's been a few years since I've needed the big paddle to win at it, but if I'm remembering right, you have to lose close to 10-12 times. I do, however have a method for winning at the game that does work for me, it's not fool-proof to win the first time, but it is what helps me personally. If you or Marian, or anyone are interested, let me know and I'll share :)

Merry Christmas

I'm sure a lot of folks would be interested in hearing your method. Feel free to post about it. The Barnacle game gives a lot of people trouble.

Like I mentioned, it's not fool-proof, sometimes it helps me get Barnacle done quickly, sometimes not.

I've noticed round one is usually easiest, since there's only 2 layers of barnacles. I usually start with the paddle all the way to the left. I know you can control the paddle with the mouse or keyboard, but personally I've found using the keyboard is easier. I keep my left hand on the space bar and my right on the arrows.

Prior to beginning, I usually stretch/crack my neck, shoulders and wrists, just for diminishing tension. While playing I try to keep relaxed (I think if you try to rush it, that's when you miss and the falls to the bottom)

Before starting I always make sure I don't need to get up for anything, and get a drink do my throat's moist.

Between rounds, I usually take a break, I think this helps with round two, especially if the game gives you a little bit of trouble.

Thanks for all that advice. I'll remember that the next time I play the game.

i got pass it i am now on nancy drew secret of shadow ranch, i have mag walkthrought for that game, but i might be back i have to do the barrel race.
