Since I chose Pengo and won, 2nd place gets to pick. MazzMn chose Bomb Jack and asked if I could post it. We were talking about TG a few times in PM's, so I've chosen their settings, which I don't think are default. Bird Speed is Easy on default (at least on WolfMAME 106, sometimes defaults change on different versions). They have it set to Hard, so I've chosed that, for anyone who might want to submit a score. The scores are really high though, top score is over 16 million! Remember, if you want to submit a score to TG, you'll have to record with WolfMAME 106. Anyway, here's the rules:

ROMSet: BombJack
Lives: 3
Bird speed: Hard    (Note: Hard, might not be default setting)
Enemies Number & Speed: Medium
Special coin: Easy  

- One credit only.

- No continues! (I don't think Bomb Jack allows them anyway)

- No MAME cheats!

- Last day is Thursday March 4th (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2010.
 
- 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!

CrazyKongFan:
A couple tips, for those who haven't played it before. When you pick up the first bomb, another one will have a lit fuse. If you pick up the lit one, another one will be lit. If you can pick up all the lit ones in order, you'll get a special bonus, up to 50K per level. Also, as you pick up bombs, occasionally a coin will appear. I know of at least 3, P freezes all the enemies which can then be picked up for points, B adds to the multiplier for the board, and E gives you a free man. The P is really important as the screen fills up with enemies. You can use it to clear them out, or if you only have 1 or 2 bombs left, to quickly finish the board. As far as movement, pushing the button makes you jump, and if you tap the button, he'll "float" in the air and you can move sideways. Holding up on the stick while jumping makes you super jump (you can jump from the bottom of the screen all the way to the top). Holding down on the stick makes you fall quickly.

Geez tough little game, I can't imagine making it into the millions...

I may post a screen if I can break 30000 haha

bpark42:
Wow I suck at this game...5 games and I have only barely broken 30,000.  On the plus side it doesn't make me quite as angry as Pengo did!  ;D
