2013 Robotron 100 million point gauntlet
1500points:
Portrait of a 1982 Robotron Marathon- Eric Ginner's 112 million point game.

Gray_Area:
Well I just broke a million in .148u4, at difficulty level 5. At first, it was easier. Then it was harder, especially as the 'warp baddies into you' dealie has returned. Hmmm. It may be more accurate now, but things seem....slow....like how fast you and your shots move. The whole thing seems glacial in a way, like the video timing is weird. Like some of those early 80s cheapo games that never had any, Robo seems to have lost its sophistication.

last time i recently talked to Sean, they hadn't incorporated the changes we worked out for gameplay. you aren't playing with the same thing we tested.
UPDATE- just checked mamedev, they haven't incorporated Sean's latest work. Here it is, though. Make sure you have mame148 then copy this file as williams.c in \SRC\MAME\VIDEO then recompile mame.

It has even been play tested by Jeff H. who has a real machine and mame and capable of 30mil plus games. His endorsement is "spot on." I don't know why you would need it any more exact than that. :)

Sean wrote that williams.c with the base 148 source code. you might try a fresh 148 without the updates.
you renamed the downloaded file to williams.c then put it in the video folder, right?
Half a dozen folks have run that williams.c with 148 base source, so it works.
