Now that everyone gave a fair shot to Bosconian, could Comtek start a poll and find out which is better, Galaga or Bosconian? Both are from 1981, both from Namco, yet Bosconian never caught up in "states" for whatever reason (it was pretty popular in my country)
I was never attracted to Galaga and I really don't understand the love-affair with it, to me it was just an upgrade over space invaders.
Comtek if you do the poll, please note it's only for participants of the competition, otherwise people that only played Galaga will chime in.

Interesting, did not realize this was popular anywhere.   It's kind of funny you mentioned that, while I have been playing I was thinking to myself, this game needs some bonus levels like Galaga!

I'm done.   The 2 weeks went by quick.

Could not quite make it past Cynicaster.

Im having issues with Bosconian too, was wondering if anyone else had seen this? been googling all day but cant find anyother mention. The games boots up fine (Mame 0.139), I add a coin and the game sais "push start to play". When I push start the score changes to "5ffffffff" and the game freezes (but the stars in the background continue moving). Ive tried all the different versions and i get the same thing, tried changing the dip switches, no change.  :cry: I tried remapping my panels buttons to see if that helped, no joy  :banghead:

Anyone else seen or heard of this?

It was a regression in code first appearing in binaries with MAME 0.138u4 and was fixed in MAME 0.139u1.  You'll need to find another version of MAME to play it, sorry.  You cannot fix it on your end.

Yeah, I knew that one alright! Although I was expecting a little more from the self-proclaimed "shmups lover" jason.

The two weeks indeed went by fast! But you still didn't answer Galaga or Bosconian! (I think I know the answer, but humor me)
