Hurray Banana:
Spent so much time messing withing my nearly finished vertical cab it was 8PM (GMT) before I had a chance to have one go, but I got a good un, 72200, hope its good enough. I can do better kept messing up on level 5 where you hang upside down between the moving spikes (got killed 3 times there), kept moving before they had re-tracted (plonker).
No time for anymore goes, going on Holiday tomorrow (isle of wight), so need to get sorted, good luck to those still playing.

A true testament to the power of MAME when great games are being referred that I haven't played yet even though Ive been around since MAME's first incarnation.
Thanks for this!

Hey Bender - just curious, what are the specs on the "good" machine...I just tried running Strider 2 on a couple of year old Dual Core Athlon X2 5000 and it seemed only marginally better than my old P4 2.53 clunker.
Great score too by the way - you guys are nuts, I can barely clear the first stage.

73,300
well I think This is it for me
HB I died 3 times in the same spot you did, piss me off I want to get past that bit so bad!!!
DeepBlue, my "good" machine is actually the laptop I took apart for the benderama it's a core2Duo 2.5GHz with 4GB of ram and a Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT running xp64, the 64 bit version of mame is quite a bit faster at least 30% faster for me
