ALL NEW BYOAC High Score Competition! Games played so far --> http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,156317.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,156317.0.html)

Game: Raiden II (US, set 1)
ROM Name: raiden2

(https://www.arcade-museum.com/images/107/1076020072.jpg)

Settings
All settings default, no continues.

Last day: Sunday, 7 June 2020, midnight Pacific Time

I waited about 15 years for this game to finally work in MAME, so I figured I'd pull it out for a High Score competition. I'm not that good at it, I play the later console releases (III, IV, and V) quite a bit more than this.

Final Scores:
1) Osirus23 - 377090
2) yamatetsu - 310170
3) NuclearWarren - 202490
4) Alaska - 177790
5) Titchgamer - 82990
6) pbj - 32780

For the last compo it was kind of unimportant because nobody wanted to play it for real, but one of the rules is to post a pic of your highscore.

149,130. This game lets me reach the First Zen State of Boiling Anger very quickly. A reminder of why I don't play shmups.

That would be too easy. Also, pics or your score didn't happen.

Osirus23, for the sake of continuity, please put (293) in the topic title. This means that this is game #293 in the two challenges combined.

182,980. 'Tis a frustrating game.

264,480. Even more frustating getting a bit further into level 2.

I'm seriously not liking this game.  The color palette is not easy to see being red/green colorblind.   :banghead:

Try player two. Im curious if that light blue ship shows up better for you. I tried it and felt like it was easier to see when aiming high.

The RSI thing is why the guys on the System11 forums always allow autofire for high score compos. That and all the world record runs in Japan explicitly allow autofire.

No doubt!
Its something I am starting to suffer with more as I am getting older.
Its pretty common in my job anyway, Think I might have a bit of arthritus or tendonitus starting to rear its ugly head to :(
Would go to see docs but thats the last place I will be heading in the current climate!!

I'll try to set up on my PC today and give this a try without autofire, but I'll be honest, I'm *very* used to having the autofire for shmupping, so this might be a pain. :P
