Ha, I didn't think it would take too long for you to pass me. I don't know if I can get anywhere near that, but I'll give it a go.
Edit: I can't even give it a go now... my graphics card died in my cab... bought a replacement off ebay, but I won't have it any time soon... :hissy:
I/O:
I remember seeing this in the arcade as Son of Phoenix. The graphics were initially alluring, but I thought it was boring. I still prefer the first Phoenix.

I don't think this is sequel to phoenix.
I agree as to the game being on a boring side. What attracted me to it though, was the fact that it was rather easy and I could play on one coin for awhile unlike lets say defender, which is far superior in gameplay (imho) to this game, but the problem with defender of course was that it lasted a whopping 30 sec. for me. Which I ended up greatly admiring from over shoulders of other more "talented" kids.
Aside from this, I've got a slight challenge for Jasonbar or anyone willig to participate in this competition. I just realized even though I cannot compete in my own competition I'm going to push the envelope for him (and others) and steal just a little bit of their glory.
Jasonbar You might be a potential winner here (or not), but... there is that other thread... the all time winners by Epyx. And wouldn't it sucked if you were never there!? HAHAHAhhahaahha >:D
I already posted a score but no picture and since I managed to press F3 and erase it, I'll try soon again for better with a proof so I can bask in an eternal glory. Till then good luck! :lol :bump

I got my cab back in working order thanks to some more thermal epoxy and an oversized heatsink. All my scores are below 150k, except I just now got one in the 200k range... trying again, then I'll post a screenshot. It really does get easier once you get past level 3 I think and the points and bonus lives come faster.
Oh.. and my best score was in a game I died on the first level once.. just goes to show to me, always play the quarter (token) out and resist the urge to restart if you die right away.
