General Rules:
- One Credit, No Continues.
- Highest score wins.
- No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round.
- MAME INP recordings are encouraged but optional.
- 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.

Good luck!

Can't say I'm very good at this game but it was one of my favorites.   I've never made it all the way thru on a single token.   I am a little concerned on the settings.   Default enemy speed is slow but I an concerned that if someone is really good they may be able to just sit there and loop this thing.   I hope 2nd go around is more difficult.    Good Luck!

Got about 38.5k on 3rd game, I think. I fudged up on what I think were the 2 tank bosses at the end of the bridge, level 2.

Anybody else find the control very awkward? It seems difficult to move left/right smoothly--the game accelerates/decelerates the scrolling & also changes your on-screen position.

Also, is the scrolling super unsmooth for anybody else, or am I just getting tons of tearing because my cabinet's PC is so old?

Thanks,
-Jason

I've got no issues with scrolling, I don't seem to be noticing any kind of tearing
