And we're not playing Act-Fancer Cybernetick Hyper Weapon, even if the idea gives me a moment of evil glee. >:D I first played Gyruss on my friend's C64 back in the 80s. It was a pretty faithful reproduction iirc, although I always thought the game was called "Gyruss Loader". :D I later played the arcade version and did pretty well (by my standards). I don't think I ever actually reached Earth though. Looking through my inp files, the best I did was 1 warp to Earth (stage 22). Wow, that's not so bad after all. Apparently Earth is the last planet. Anyway, I won't be eligible to win this competition. We'll be playing the Konami version. The romset is called gyruss. Rules: ROMSet: gyruss Lives: 3 Difficulty: 5 (Average) Bonus Life 30k 90k 60k+ These should all be default. They are on my setup anyway. Special Rules: None. - One credit only. - No continues! - No MAME cheats! - Last day is Saturday, December 19th (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! Good luck! Edit: added hyperlinks for past competitions |

Awesome game choice DrFrag. I'm gonna have Tocatta and Fugue stuck in my head for a week now. 142,350 to get us started. My biggest problem with this game is getting 80-90k on the first ship then losing the next 2 or 3 within the next 5k. |

D'oh! My first try, I thought I got 1st place, but got as close to it without getting it...142,300...50 points behind! :angry: BTW: what happened to having all the previous comp's hyperlinked in the first post of the thread? That was a handy feature. |

Unless Epyx broke the rule, after all he won a competition and then picked a game that he won 2nd time in a row. Unless you're that above mentioned marp player. |
