Doesn't look like we've had any beat em ups so I figure Aliens vs Predator would be interesting. While it's generally a button masher there is alot of techinique's to use in the game to stay alive.

Opening salvo.....367,700

Good choice. Any DIP switch settings? I believe this game has settings done on-screen in the operator menu. Please report the default settings, just in case any of us has messed w/ our settings in the past & they don't match the default.
It would also be interesting for people to post what character they use when they post a score.
Thanks,
-Jason
-
Good choice! Beat'em ups are probably my favorite genre on arcades.
-
Does playing it on an Aliens themed cab provide a 100k bonus? jk...
Ill have to give this a try, never really played it much...Hopefully Jason and Quarter are steering clear this time? ;)

Ah, that's where they are, eh? Did the tab key and didn't see anything to change. I'll have to look at this later........heading out for wings and beer in a few minutes. :cheers:

-
345,200
-
So far my high is 359800... First time. Won't bother with screen shot yet cause it's already been beat.
-
658,800
Got to the fourth stage. I used the predator, his special attack is good for crowd control
-
650,300 Got to 4th. Close game so far.
-
771,100 With the Sarg
-
Damn just came online to say I got 491500 but I see that is long beat out too ;(
-
Just finished playing this but can't get the picture online today. Have to use the other pc for that and it's in the bedroom with my sleeping wife. First thing tommorrow it will be up.
-
I used predator and got a score of 632,000. JWL are my initials. Will need to play this one again. Think I can do better. Sucky photo I know.

Razor Claws is a feminine hygiene product. :angry:
814,900 with Sarg
-
Great game, one of the best beat em ups IMO.
1,474,400 with the predator Warrior. My first game ever with beating the queen on one quarter :D.
I lost to some BS though by being knocked down and the boss camping on my weapon so I could not get it back, LOL.
-
Damn, nice game dude. I've been liking the Sarg as he can't lose his weapon.
-
Wow! 1,474,400! Don't think I'll be able to beat that one.
-
Damn, nice game dude. I've been liking the Sarg as he can't lose his weapon.
Yeah, the thing I like so much about this game is that all the characters are playable but require completely different strategies to use. I usually play as a predator but I like Lt. Linn also. You need to rely heavily on her gun and a+b attack to do well with her IMO.
-
a+b attack? I wasn't aware of that. I'm trying again tonight.
-
Lt. Linn all the way!
Her gun is the best--lots of shots before the reload, & the reload is quick.
I got about 790k or so w/ her. We'll see if I can scooch that score up a little more before the deadline...
Actually, speaking of deadlines, spoot, the top post says that this round ends on Thurs 5/21. Thurs is 5/19. Sat is 5/21. What's the real end date?
Thanks,
-Jason
-
a+b attack? I wasn't aware of that. I'm trying again tonight.
I mean button 1 + button 2 attack. Like a lot of side scrollers when pressed together it will hit everything around you and drain a little of your life, but this is much less than if your character were to get hit. Comes in very handy with Linn i have noticed.
-
I played as her earlier since I haven't played as her yet. She will do that move if you press buttons 1+2 or 2+3. At least on mine she did.
Also my 6k+ score will probably be my highest. Played several times since then but can barely manage to make half that.

Lol, how did I manage to screw that up again. ??? :banghead:
Shoulda been Saturday the 21st for the two weeks. Fixed.
-
Nice even score of 775500.
I finally beat the second stage without dying then I die on that stupid shooting on a tank stage for the first time....oh well
-
I just can't break 800k. I can get in the high 700s pretty much every game, to where the face huggers & worms are scooting about. Can't get to the queen. Argh!
-Jason
-
One day left. Amazing what 'going on holiday' can do for time floating by.
-
Uncle.
Just can't pull out more than 800kish.
-
Winner: Nbk_Orchid
2nd: Spoot
-
So what's happening here?
-
Well I have been trying to beat that score for the past week but just cant get past the Robot boss on one coin :angry:
I had him down to one more hit the other day but he torched me :cry: I will keep trying though. The more I play the more I come to love this game.
-
Um... The competition is over. You won. You need to pick a new game for the next competition.
-
I say if the winner will not start a new competition by tonight midnight, spoot should start one tommorow. Anyone any other ideas?
-
Next game: Lover Boy ;D
-
Next game: Lover Boy ;D
Ever since that thread popped up I knew it would eventually be in a High Score comp. Personally I'd rather it wasn't but that's for the comp winner to decide, speaking of which...
Has anyone sent Orchid a PM to let him/her know that he needs to pick a game?
-
I say if the winner will not start a new competition by tonight midnight, spoot should start one tommorow. Anyone any other ideas?
Thanks mimic, but I started this one.......so, should probably go to 3rd place DirtyDash. And I've done like 2 all nighters at work already this week and not thinking real clear for decent next pic anyways. ;D
I'd probably screw up the end time again anyways. :laugh2:
-
I'll message Nbk and give him until the end of the day today. If he doesn't start anything by then, I'll make a new one tomorrow.
-
How about Caveman Ninja. Has that been done before? A pretty underrated game IMO, but super fun and easy to get the hang of. If not you guys can pick.
-
New AVP score: 1,875,400

Caveman ninja is fine, it's your choice. Now just make a thread just like this one to start the competition.
-
and if you're not sure how to do it with all the links to the previous competitions, one of us can start the thread too (I know I've done 1 or 2 in the past to help)
-
That would be great CrazyKonFan, if you wouldn't mind. That would probably take me a couple hours to figure out :). I don't internet to well :dunno
-
OK, I'll get something up for you shortly. Caveman Ninja hasn't been picked before (the list of the previous competitions is at the top of each thread) so it should be ok.
-
I was just gonna say all he has to do is to start new thread name it same way as this one except number and name of the game then fill out default settings, which rom, and end date and thats it the rest can be done at a later time and its not really mandatory.
But if crazy kong wants to take care of that, then thats fine too.
