:) It's all good. :cheers: I do feel for you though...you must be trying to conquer these games and keep getting beat up. I always sucked at them. My brother rocked these games and Robotron. It was good enough for me to watch a skilled player.

Back in the day, there was a setting on some Stargate machines that would give 50 ships (and smart bombs, and inviso units) for a 2-quarter game. Not sure if it was a DIP switch thing or a "hot" setting in the admin screens after initial bootup, but Stargates with that setting were highly coveted by cheap gamers. Buddy of mine held the high score on one (at the Sandestin Hilton in Destin, FL) for years and years thanks to that...

Never heard of that - SG options are configured via on-screen menus (no dips) and I'm pretty sure there's no setting for 50 ships (at least not on my early production unit). Maybe it was a custom ROM. Still, I don't know why any arcade or route would set the machine like that - would bring in less $.
HanoiBoi:
I seem to vaguely remember something about having lots of ships. I don't know about 50...
Could they have been acquired through warping several times?
TOK:
I thought the 50 cent game gave you 7 ships/smartbombs/extra Inviso by default.
I could be mistaken though. I never use this setting because I don't want it fudging my high score list.
