After a full year of competitions, I don't think we've had a puzzle type game yet. I won't be competing because my kids said I've been playing video games too much. They have a Wii, but they still want to play 20-30 year old arcade games. :applaud: Also because I am a MARP competitor on this game. My high score is 2,201,269. My strategy for the game is to try to make the sandwich. See the screenshot below. The last tile that I drop is the green one in the center and that starts a chain reaction. That will give you about 260,000 points, then tap the button real fast as it scores and you will get another 40,000+ points. I try to do this on every level. Competition Rules: - You can only use the klax.zip ROM Klax (set 1), with default MAME settings. - You can start on any wave - 1, 6, or 11. - Klax allows continues, so no continues allowed for this competition. One credit only. - No MAME cheats! - Last day is Wednesday, August 26th (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2009. - High score wins (if tied, winner will be chosen by which player progressed further in the game). - 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! - Game tips can be found here. KLOV entry. MAWS entry. |

Never played this one before, but I figured I could at least get the scores started: |

A better one (that sandwich trick really helps!) |
| Ummon:
First time I've played or even really seen this game. Wasn't too hard till wave five. Then, like many games, it ramps up slightly discouragingly. |
| CrazyKongFan:
woo-hoo, another favorite of mine! ;D I haven't tried a game yet for this competition, but I'll definitely be working on this one. |
