For the next competition, I'm picking a game my friends liked to play, Moon Patrol.
(http://maws.mameworld.info/img/ps/snap/mpatrol.png)
Good luck!
----------------------------------------------------
ROMSet: mpatrol
DEFAULT SETTINGS (For Moon Patrol : 3 lives and bonus lives at 10k, 30k & 50k)
----------------------------------------------------
- One credit only!
- No continues or adding credits!
- No MAME cheats!
- Last day is Wednesday April 6 (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2011.
- High score wins.
- No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round.
- MAME INP recordings are encouraged but optional.
- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the game screen.
- 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!
- Even if you don't have a competitive score or if you don't *think* that you have a competitive score, please post it anyway to keep the thread fun & to give everybody a good sense of score ranges.
-Please make sure your scores are from games that take place during the competition period (no posting your best score from last year, etc.).
Best of luck!

It's about time someone picked a game with some funky music.

That steady beat you hear is actually my face slamming into a rock cuz I forgot to jump in time.
-
I used to flip the Atari 2600 version. I'll have to see how I do on the arcade one!
-
Nice. I just got a Moon Patrol a couple of weeks ago, so I guess it is time to get out to the garage and start playing. Fun game, but I never have been very good at it.
-
Finally a game I like. Actually, just last night I played it in the first in months I think. Premonition?
Here's a beginning score. My best to date.
-
That's about where I make it too, although I can get to the part where you start to go uphill (I think it's around J on the Championship course). There's some wicked boulder spacing and I've only been able to pass that area once (using continues, on a real cab)
-
Squeaked past on my 2nd try. I can do better after I memorize the places where there are annoying hole/rock/tank arrangements.
72,180.

Don't have the exact score, but I think it was 87K. Was playing on a real cab yesterday, and I don't know if the settings are the same. Started with 5 men, got 1 at 10K, 1 at 50K. As luck would have it, got to J on the Championship Course (the one I mentioned I couldn't pass)....had 5 men at that point, lost all 5 :(
-
I'm almost 100% sure that I didn't change my default settings, & I'm starting with 3 rovers, not 5.
Thanks,
-Jason

My settings show 3 lives and bonus lives at 10k, 30k & 50k.
-
OK, won't count a score then ;) I wish you guys would list the settings when you make a thread for a new competition...sometimes the default settings change between versions of MAME too. Unfortunately, I can't change the settings of the machine, it's at the Midwest Gaming Classic and not mine. I think I may be able to pass those boulders after "J" now though, so look out! ;D

This is a good idea to put in, instead of just saying default.
So we know we're all playing with same amount of lives and extra lives.
For Moon Patrol it would be -
3 lives and bonus lives at 10k, 30k & 50k.
-
Updated original post.
-
Thanks! If you look back, you'll notice the couple ones I started, I did include the settings :) Also helps with those playing on a real machine, since they might not be able to know what default is (not every manufacturer specified that). That being said, I tried that Moon Patrol cab a couple more times yesterday, but kept screwing up early and quit...got too frustrated ;)
-
Finally got a little farther, past the uphill boulders after J. You get closely spaced landmines at the top and man are they a pain. Ended up at M on Championship Course with 85080 (with the correct settings ;D )
-
I may not get good enough to even take a pic. I played a couple of games yesterday and only got to 24k. :)
-
Um...is there a secret button to start this? I am using .138 and nothing happens after the RAM / ROM check screen.

You didn't install the secret button in your cab? :duckhunt

There are no rom/ram checks. The game just starts up.

I find double-tapping, like in DK, is helpful. Sometimes paranioically. Which isn't enough in some circumstances. This path from E to J is crazy. Going against form, I played it through a few times. It's been so long since I've been to this spot, I'd forgotten about it. It sure requires some fancy moving, and the right pace. I think I finished it, though. The next leg was just too intense.
I have to say, though, that this version of MAME32 was giving me the hardest games I've played in a long while.
-
Fudge, on my last try, I aced the beginner course with no losses, but then I lost 3-4 rovers right in a row at the same spot where there were a few holes & lots of spaceships above--usually that part is cake. Fudge...
85,280

The second half of the championship course is nearly impossible. It's like they anticipated the homogenous sequentiality of late 80s side scrollers. Totally ruins the game.
-
Upping the ante a bit :) 89,930 (so close to 90K!) I tried to get a snapshot with "game over" on the screen, but was a tad late. So this is during the demo mode.
-
Added a little more fuel to the fire ;D 95,810 this time.
-
I didn't have time to take a pic, but I finally made it through the beginner level for the first time today. I ended up at 53,something. I am hoping to get a few hours to play Tuesday or Wednesday. I think with a little practice, I might be able to get a little higher.
-
Finally got to play a bit yesterday and can now get passed the mine field level and into the 30,000+ scores so may get lucky before the deadline is here.
-
I finally got out of the service menu. Are there any bonus points for that? ::) No score worthy of posting yet; the moon is a harsh mistress!
update: 27K is my highest so far.
-
Uncle.
Can't better my best.
-Jason
-
Looks like I won this round ;D I'll try and come up with a new game before tonight. I've got a couple ideas, I want to test them out to see which one I think is the most fun :)
-
Congratulations.
-
OH, geez! I missed this. Finally a game that I'm in the ballpark of. I really gotta learn to pay attention ;D
