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.
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!
