In a mame32 version...highlight your selection then goto: File > Play and Record Input. This will record your .inp to your specified location...you could then attach it to your post and people with your mame version sould be able to view your entire game.
I just got my personal best 259,875. I got a screen but no inp. My kid couldn't break 200k tonight...

Havok:
Still can't get into the swing of things - I used to score much higher. However, fired up a couple of games, and just got 320,225.
Hey Ummon - how about posting a top 10 (if we get that many participants) in the original post?
DaveStall:
Even with U360s this game just isn't the same in MAME as it is with the real thing, despite the claims that the emulation is now correct. I average about 800,000 in MAME, with my best score being around 1.5 million. On my authentic Robotron machine at the same settings I score over 1 million on most decent games with several scores well over that. I have a friend that can roll the game, so he is no longer allowed to play on my machines :-) Regardless, this is the best game ever made IMO. I will try to get a game in tomorrow to submit a score.

We are in total agreement on that. It's a flawless game.
I've never broken 700K, so I won't win this competition. But I'll give it a try this weekend.
(+_+):
I tried and tried to inp and mng. My widescreen prevents me from recording using inp due to a no signal messsage and the mng file cuts short on my one million attempt on level 10/3 men/25,000 per additional man.
The mng file is 150 MB and justs stops at around the 156,000 score, even though I have 6 men left??
So here's the screenshots. You'll just have to believe it. Truth be told, the tank waves were treating me like crap the whole way through. You should try a tank wave on level 10. They can eat up your men in no time if you screw up.
I fogort to mention, I still had 4 men left. Should have had 7 men plus more in memory by this point, but like I said I choked on a few tank waves.
