Gray_Area:
I think I have it in for jasonbar. This is also a new personal best.

Satan's Hollow (MAME 144u5) 232,290 . This was the second of two incidental games. In the first one, I tried 'early crossings' to build up my firepower, but that didn't work. The second time, I used my old method of getting through fifteen boards before crossing. I then impressed myself with a lot of very clever shooting, maneuvering, and shield use (in the process learning there is actually some strategy to the game as it goes on). At the end, I actually blew it on a simple 4x4 bird board, because I was trying to make blocks for the bridge, and wasted my shield crossing underneath the down-coming flock. Oh, also, I think it cheated me once; note second snap.

(+_+):
Here's 2 for the list.

Gray_Area:
I'm waiting for someone to come along and destroy my 1943 score....but in the mean time, while getting to about the same place, I bested my last by about a hundred thousand.

949,390 MAME 144u5 (The bullets didn't seem as fast this time, though some of the fusilades of them seemed different.)

Even though I went into the boss stage (7) with full energy and lots of weapon time, AND some totally stupefying flying, I still didn't make it. (That's only a medium cruiser. The destroyer is after that!) It's a hard one.

Made it to round 6 I think...

The hammer and high jump are the hard ones for me.

They used to be for me as well (took me forever to even figure out how to do the high jump). Tip for the hammer: watch the yellow bar along the bottom of the screen--time the throw when it is at the halfway point of the far right blue block. Of course, keep the jump/throw button held for a second or so to get as close to a 45° angle as possible). The high jump is more of a "feel" thing for me. I time the jump as close as possible to the bar (without knocking the bar off on the way up, of course). As soon as I hit jump/throw I'm immediately doing a "drumroll" on the L&R run buttons; then when the dude has just about topped out, I keep the drumroll going but add in the jump/throw button with only my right hand (simultaneously hitting jump/throw and the right run button) until he's cleared the bar. So basically (really, really fast): Jump / L / R / L / R / L / R / L / R / (then without breaking rhythm, when he reaches just about max height): L / R+J / L / R+J / L / R+J, etc. Hope that makes sense.

Oddly, in the later rounds when the qualify distance is 90m, the javelin throw gets me more than the hammer and high jump ever did.

Here's my latest game from the other night: 452300
