High Score Competition #96 Black Widow
ChadTower:
One of my very favorites of all time.
I'm in on this one. I even built my mame cab with dual leaf wicos for this game. :)

New blood, but no new scores....
Here's an AAE shot for those interested. It was easier early on, but played different. Scoring might be a little different, too, as I was way low versus level.
The stock aspect in AAE is different.
Gray_Area:
Well boys and girls. That was a game. This was....I think my third game of three...on .146 . (Only the first and fifth scores were part of that, as those in between were from earlier times where I normally start at 125k, and my second game I reset in the first or second board.) It seems REAL easy at first - I hadn't died until at least 120k - and then somehow it just takes it out from under you. But I persevered. And survived. And was surprised.
And missed another dude by 800 points!
I probably should post this last minute so that jasonbar doesn't somehow, in his inevitable way, pull out a miracle score or something. But oh well.

Most impressive!
I played 8 more times the other day & couldn't best my own score, though I did get somewhat close to it...
I played a heckuva game on the Robotron at California Extreme--got the lowest all-time high score, around .87M. The highest was 2.7M or so(!)
When I grabbed my 4" Wicos the next evening to play some more Black Widow @ home, my palms were sore in the same spots where I apparently had a death grip on the Robotron sticks! Ow!

Damn i hope they update mame to look like AAE sometime in the future looks alot more authentic than what Mame does for vector based games
