Arcade Museum: THE END
--------------------------------------------
Game Name: THE END
ROM Name: theend
Settings: Default (3 lives)
Controls: 4 way Joystick, 1 button
Description: You are battling aliens that can SPELL! They take your blocks and spell the words "THE END". If they do this the game is OVER no matter how many ships you have. You get double points if you shoot the alien bugs while they have a block. Do not be too concerned with running out of blocks as a new batch arrives as soon as the last one is taken. Bonus ship at 5k, maybe more but I haven't got much past that.
Last day: Sunday, Aug. 17th 2014 midnight Pacific

WHAT?! No Space ZaP? :( :( :(
PBJim, you owe someone a kick in the groin (another vertical space shooter).
Ok, no more bitching. First salvo 14,160

I've got my cup on to protect my :censored:
Nice score Popsicle! I haven't even broke 10k. This game is rather tough, I was thinking 20k might win this thing but I might have to adjust my guess.
popsicle:
Around the third set of alien motherboard attacks, it says 'chance time' or something similar at the bottom of the screen. I thought this was going to be a bonus stage but it looks to be business as usual. What gives?

I did some searching and found that during "Chance Time" shooting aliens will subtract bricks.
