Back in the old days most of the control information in mame was wrong. People used that to fill in the information on klov, where much of it is still wrong.

I'm going to have to say no on this one. Seeing how constrained the game field is, I was skeptical, but gave it a shot. At least on Pac-Mania, it automatically turns you if your jump is going to land you off the board or whatever.
paigeoliver:
You get an extra life at 10,000 points. It only happens at 10,000, not once at 10,000 and then every 10K afterwards.

The initial learning curve of this game is kind of steep, but then it gets much easier once it finally clicks. Nobody is REALLY good at this game other than the one guy who set the record back in 1984 on a real machine. The Twin Galaxies top MAME scores for this title seem very achievable. It wouldn't surprise me if someone pulls that off in this contest.

Also, I find the second level to be easier than the first.
