Well, I'm a bit confused. When I post a game I list the dip switch settings, but I don't see one for difficulty? ??? Am I missing something? And yes, the version I have been playing gives a bonus life at 20k then every 60k
draginit:
kul,,alls good then,, i imagine every game, when first played, is set to a standard "arcade level" dip settings but i wasnt sure as there are so many sources of roms out there. it wasnt still i started messing with frame rate speeds after reading the versions speed differences that found the diagnostic tool "F3". there you can change everything from lives, difficulty, and bonuses...thats why i asked cuz i started thinking i was getting too many bonuses at first and therefore my score would have been false. but you and PatBB have rocked this game!! :cheers: welp cant wait for next pick, im so burnt on this one hehe
heh,,btw playing at a higher frame rate actually easier imo and makes the first 3 levels more bearable lol ;)

There are actually 5 different tree paterns.
I took some screenshoot to help me find some sort of path to follow... not easy, except for the one that goes from corner to corner and the one I called verticals.
I try to post some pics next week.
This game is absolultly marathonable.
The High score is 6 Million by Don Duwelius.
A score of over 5 million was entered durring the Funspot tourney in 2009. (see image attached)

That's how I do it too on may cab and that's actually how the real arcade control panel is setup.

3 life first bonus at 20k and every 60k + difficulty level 3 is the default setting and the one use on TwinGalaxies.
That's the settings I'm also using.

What am I doing wrong, when I hit 'F3" it just reboots the game. I can't seem to get this diagnostic screen to show up. :dizzy:
