Yes, Grobda! ROM name grobda. OK, so I like to be different... Way back when, when I had an early version of MAME32 on my laptop, I was killing time in an airport & fired up a strange game with a strange name: Grobda. I loved it. Quirky, rare NAMCO game. Tank game with an odd control scheme, but it somehow works. Also, this is a pretty hard game, so nobody should end up doing any 40-hour diaper-required marathons on this game... :P #1 - Shinobi - Winner: Destructor #2 - Jungle Hunt - Winner: CrazyKongFan #3 - Zoo Keeper - Winner: DeLuSioNal29 #4 - Q*Bert - Winner: quarterstringer #5 - Robotron 2084 - Winner: (+_+) #6 - Joust - Winner: Shoegazer #7 - Elevator Action - Winner: FrontyDev #8 - Mr Do - Winner: DeLuSioNal29 #9 - Hyper Sports - Winner: drawfull #10 - Wonder Boy - Winner: DrFrag #11 - Bubble Bobble - Winner: mrclean #12 - Gun.Smoke - Winner: isucamper #13 - Ghouls 'n Ghosts - Winner: Ginsu Victim #14 - Ms Pac-Man (with speedup hac) - Winner: CrazyKongFan #15 - Frogger - Winner: CrazyKong Fan, Second: Jasonbar Rules: - You can only use grobda.zip, 3 tank settings, no cheats. Difficulty setting to default of A. No level select--you must start at level 1. (Even with Level Select DIP switch set to "on", I don't see how to start at a higher level anyway...) - Single Credit only. - Use any MAME version or variant you wish. - Last day is Monday, April 20th (11:59:59pm Eastern Daylight Time). ***EDIT***- High score wins (if tied, the winner is the player who reached a higher level in their high score game).***EDIT*** - No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round. - MAME INP recordings are optional, but encouraged! - A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the screen if playing on a real machine. - If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition amongst 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! I'll start things off with my high score after playing about 10 games: 15,250. Twin Galaxies high scores range from 20,900 to 24,770, so we've got a good shot at getting on the scoreboard with this one! I've learned a fair number of little tricks & such after playing this evening, but I'll see what you folks come up with before I share. >:D Oh, and I'll offer a small token prize (no, not a token!) to the winner. Not much, but I'll dig up some video game-related trinket to mail to the winner. Enjoy! -Jason |

Interesting pick. I've more than likely played it, because I'm doing an A through Z exploration of MAME, and I'm in the I's now. I'll have to go back and try it out. |

Neat game, I'll have to play a bit to see what how the scoring works. |

Wow, love that ice rink music. Kind of a silly game, but whatever. |
