Anyways, I couldn't get a better score than the one I submitted. I love the game, but I admit I'm not so great at it. 
It's really difficult if you die once, to get that momentum back up. Especially being reset to little pee-shooter shots.

Sifting through all the crap in this thread, from what I can tell, jasonbar has the leading score and I'm in second. Nicely done bro!

There's still 45mins left in this comp according to the deadline (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time).
Any more submissions?


Nice work. If you die, just use your bombs a lot (you get 3 new at the start of each stage) and as you advance in each stage, you're bound to reach a new checkpoint. I'm excited to see what game jasonbar (or whoever can beat him) comes up with.

Eh, I got it before you deleted it.

That's too bad. After checking up on your post history here, it's pretty clear to me that I have nothing further to talk to you about. "Nice" getting to know you.  :tool:

What the..? Why so angry all of a sudden, my human friend?

Can I at last know _why are you angry at me, so I can improve?

What are you accusing me of, what's that insult all about, autofire-dude?

...because they felt they are very good at the game they picked and wanted to give chance to others...

That's false logic based on arrogant assumption. -- Tell me please, when you play chess, for example, do you just roll the dice first to decide the winner and make it all "fair" and "friendly"? Perhaps when you are "too good" you just let your opponent win to make it all more interesting, and you think that kind of patronizing deception is "friendly", "motivating" or "helpful"?

Why the anger directed at me? Talk to Ummon who first came up with the rules ...oh wait, Ummon, right... I don't even care to stick to original rules at all, just make your own rules and post for everyone to see to even the playfield. There already was one competition with a modified rom (speed hack version or something)

And btw can you take the "love affair" with emphatic to PM?

A very nice effort on his part. I hope he chooses wisely.

I'm sorry, I was too brief, my comment was indeed not directed at you. But the questions were for you, those friendly questions not only illustrate how pointless and patronizing is to let others win out of some supposed "friendliness",  but also that is completely opposite of what "competition" should be all about. -- Anyway, I hope Jason will enjoy gifted victory like it is his own. It's very sweet of autofire-dude to let him win.

For those who dont know, torino is driverman and all his variations.  He's been banned here more than everyone ele combined, can't follow the rules and doesn't respect Saint or his site.  Ignore the 2 year old and hope he goes away soon.

I had no idea until I checked out his other posts. Does this forum have an "ignore" feature?

This makes complete sense now by the way he was pushing his "tech". Now I can justify ignoring this guy and his suggestions (aside from his trolling).

There used to be an ignore feature but you had to be using a certain theme (default maybe?) but it fell by the wayside a while ago I think.  If it's still active, I haven't been able to find it.  It was kind of nice to see how many people were ignoring a particular member.

Bah, I missed the deadline! I was hovering around 198k though, so not much chance of improving that in the few hours I had left. Next!

Oh, and what were the final scores by the way? Hard to see without reading through all those bizarre posts...

Hooray!  Run-ner-up!  Run-ner-up!  :)

Sorry, I won't be able to start a proper thread until Mon eve, but that doesn't mean you can't bust out your 4-ways & paint rollers & start perfecting your Make Trax skills starting right now!  :D

Thanks,

If it's the same as Crush Roller I think I already have that on my cab. I better get cracking (",)

This is a game I've never played, so this will be interesting.

Woo, time to swap my control panel.  Man I haven't played this game in 20 years.   :P

Twin Cobra is way cooler.

IMHO, they can't be compared. While both developed by Toaplan, Sky Shark has better music, and a gameplay that's more typical for their other games.

I don't really like any of the other Toaplan games because of that.
