Thats twice today I have read about xp 64 running mame a lot faster! I must try it out on my ageing mame pc Excellent score there bender, well done ;) |
| Hurray Banana:
Well done Bender, haven't got time to come back at ya. I've actually beaten this bloody game in the Arcade so it doubly annoys, that I got killed so lame, it gets harder later when you have the orbs to fight and the amazon boss and kong boss before the final boss (which is a stink) I think I'm gonna keep playing at this one so I may enter a throw down score at some point. Well done. |

Got back from my dinner party & had a little time to play. Investigated some opportunities to point-press. In the first level, you can kill lots of time along the first area & kill lots of guys & midget robots. That can give you another thousand or so. Then I came across a sweeeeet point source near the end of the 3rd(?) level, just before the boss that is the giant orb spinning around in the giant empty room. You can squat there & shoot the small floating mines that slowly fill up the screen & shoot the occasional soldier who comes by. I had 1 helper which was keeping the soldier from being a threat. I don't know how many thousands I racked up there, but it was a lot. You can let the timer run down to near-zero & then enter the big boss chamber & the timer resets again. 88,150 was the result--I didn't quite get as far as those slowloy extending & retracting spikes--that part's a real bear. Still 1 hour to go--go for it! Thanks, -Jason |
