High Score Competition #90: 1942 (Revision B)
AlienInferno:
Thanks for the two replies. I'll just play the 1942B rom and go from there. Haven't played this in years though. Plus, I'll admit, I was alot better at the NES version.

I think opt2not helped me out here. Yes, I know you can move, and then all of a sudden I lock up and I crash. Now I understand it's likely the way the game is designed, not me just freaking out - although that's still a possibility. I think of every 10 games I play I loop maybe once anyway but one would think it should be a nice feature. For me, the loop brings me out of "the zone", I get confused readjusting, and, well that's the end of that story. After I use the loop for the first time my entire game is just poopy. And it's over about two minutes afterwards.
Don't know where the big boss comes in, didn't even know there was one, did I?

Ok, rainy day so I may well crack my personal best! (but not the high score here)
I think I'm doing ok though because the default is normally 3 lives that I've ever noticed. I've set this to 2 however. Will cane this as much as I can for this comp. Just have to wait for mum to not be watching TV in the lounge room :D

Is it just me and my rom, but does the music in this game pretty much boil down to a whistle blowing routine? or am I doing something wrong? even the NES version has better music...

It's pretty much as you describe. I played an original machine a few years back and realised that MAME has it right and my memory didn't include how unimaginative the in game 'music' was.
