Game Name = Moon Cresta (Nichibutsu)
  ROM Name = mooncrst

Settings: Default (Extra Life 30,000)
   
Last day: Friday, June 7th 2014 midnight Pacific

Description: Aliens swarm at the top of the screen, swooping down on your spacecraft. Your craft begins with three segments, one deployed at a time. After the "insect" and "fireball" levels, you are able to attempt docking the segments together. A successful dock gives you more firepower for the upcoming levels.

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.



- Quest for the Bronze Joystick! The most successful competitor of each calendar year will possess & display the BYOAC Bronze Joystick Trophy. See this thread for details:The BYOAC Bronze Joystick.
Happy Gaming!

BYOAC's worst player checking in at 6,040.

I briefly owned a really unusual knock off of this game called Star Fighter.  It was in a weird almost cabaret cabinet and was stamped with some mortgage company or insurance company or something.  I uploaded the pics several times to KLOV before they put them online - click on the additional pictures links and you'll see it.  I wasn't able to find a monitor for it, so ended up trading it to a now dormant BYOAC member for a 60% scale PacMan cabinet he made for me.  Still have and regularly enjoy that cabinet.... and I don't believe those Star Fighter boards have ever been dumped for MAME. 

 :cheers:

Annoying fanfare music, but perfectly playable.  I finished the first two (three?) different waves where you end with a dock, then lost all three ships on the second go round. 




kixfan:
18,540

Made it to the 2nd level  with the disappearing ships and died with 1 enemy ship left to kill.   I then preceded to get whacked 2 more times where the ship never really appeared on the screen.
JDFan:
The audio on this one seems to be louder than other games (or maybe it's just the soundtrack like popsicle mentions) -- was originally going to pick GORF which is another game I remember playing years ago but it had already been chosen and then came across this one which I haven't played in years but remember it being fairly challenging (esp. once you lose the second level ship as the third one is sooo big and bulky that the game usually ends quickly after it is the only ship left)

Guess I better post my score from the first round of games now before it is one of the bottom scores -- 22,180

Managed to keep all 3 ships for 1 full round -- One tip for those playing on the meteor round stay to the right side of the screen and only move out to shoot and you will not get hit.
