One of my favorite arcade games of all time is Black Tiger. However, after a while the patterns/jumps etc are fairly predictable. There is another version of the game called Black Dragon which is the Japanese version of the game. As with many Japanese originals/versions it is considerably harder. Dropping boulders are more numerous and have to be learned. Boss fights have been mixed up and the enemies storm you harder than in Black Tiger. You also can't duck to avoid boss flames/lightning in this version.
I will be playing this game as I have never played Black Dragon more than a handful of times, originally thinking it was merely a Japanese version of the game at the same difficulty.
Rules:
- Use only the Japanese Romset (Blkdrgon)
- One credit only.
- No continues!
- No MAME cheats!
- Default DIP switch settings: 3 Lives, Difficulty Normal (5)
- Last day is Friday, November 6th (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2009.
- High score wins.
- 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!
PRIZE: TokenTop™ Premium Spinner Knob from GroovyGameGear To be fair this prize will go to 2nd place *should* I win.
CrazyKongFan:
Haven't really played this one much, but I really like Black Tiger, so hopefully this one won't be too frustrating :)
Can you list the default settings, since they may have changed for different versions of MAME? For example, WolfMAME 106 uses 3 lives, difficulty 5, continue yes (but we can't use that, of course)
Ginsu Victim:
Black Tiger already kicks my butt. I'm out.
Nice choice, though. Got a prize in mind?
RayB:
Wahh My MAME is in storage. :cry:
