Ltd.
I won't be competing because I'm a TG/MARP competitor on this game, with the top score of 99,900
Since it's one of my favorites, I want to see how other people do on the game. INP's are definitely encouraged!
You are a mouse collecting food scattered around the maze, while trying to avoid the cats and snakes. You also have 5 bombs you can drop and set off later to destroy your enemies. When you collect all the food, you get a slot machine bonus level where you can earn 200-1500 extra points before going to the next level. I like the gameplay, and it has a neat (but repetitive) catchy background tune. A couple of tips, there's 3 little bridges over water that open up when you cross them. Use these to your advantage to drown the cats and snakes. Also, if you drown a snake, all the cats on the level will also die (and points for each will be awarded). There's also what look like pieces of cheese on the top corners that can be dropped on the enemies to kill them.
Competition Rules:
- You can only use the
funnymou.zip ROM Funny Mouse, with default MAME settings, which I believe are 3 lives to start, extra life at 10K.
- No continues allowed for this competition (it doesn't allow them anyway, I just left this in)
- No MAME cheats!
- Last day is Wednesday, September 9th (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!
