- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the game screen.
- If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition among forum members, so maybe you shouldn't enter. However, if you're a forum member and this is a game you're good at and nobody knows about it, this is your time to shine!
- Even if you don't have a competitive score or if you don't *think* that you have a competitive score, please post it anyway to keep the thread fun & to give everybody a good sense of score ranges.
- Please make sure your scores are from games that take place during the competition period (no posting your best score from last year, etc.).
- Use of autofire or other non-standard hacks within MAME or your PC's OS are not allowed. No program or other person or entity of any sort may manipulate your controls during your game. Coaching & back-seat driving is fine as long as the party doesn't directly influence the game or controls.
- If you can beat any of the high scores from the previous competitions, you can submit your score to the BYOAC High Game Scoreboard.

Let me start by saying I don't think I'm very good at this game. During my childhood I played this at my local K-mart that had an arcade in it. Being in a K-Mart, I think we got 8 tokens for a dollar which was a pretty good deal. Needless to say I didn't mind going shopping with my parents unless it was Friday (Dukes of Hazzard was on).
Good Luck!!![/list]
Nephasth:
OH HELL YES!!!!
Nephasth:
Managed to sneak in a few rounds this morning. Not my personal best, but thought I'd start things off with this score. I can see myself playing Gorf more during these next two weeks than the entire year and half I've owned the machine.
A few gameplay techniques I use:
* Astro Battles - Shoot the Gorf robot that is laying down the enemies in formation.
* Laser Attack - Take out the laser shooting enemies early on.
* Galaxians - The blue enemies fire a delayed third shot that can catch you off gaurd, so watch out for those.
* Space Warp - Stay alive (obvious), to me this is the hardest level.
* Flag Ship - You can shoot the pieces you break off of the flag ship for an extra 150 points each.
* Don't run into point values displayed on the screen. They will kill you.
(+_+):
Space Cadet... Ah Ah Ah.

Awesome Nephasth, got a full picture of your machine somewhere? Looks like it's in a decent condition!
