#39 - Smash T.V. - Winner: jasonbar, Second: quarterstringer
My period of daily lunchtime Smash T.V. playthroughs in college finally paid off. :)
I have a short list of games that I wanted to pick:
Irritating Maze would've been my pick, but the game doesn't seem to display scores at all! :badmood:
Space Zap is great, but my arms already hurt after playing so much Smash T.V. this week...
Until I get new guns & make sure my "mouse" assignments are all squared away, I don't want to mess with any spinner games, so...it's..............
Rygar!!! Always thought this was a great run & jump & yo-yo game. Lots of variety, good difficulty level, lots of bonuses to juggle (kill more bad guys, pick up more stuff, or get a time bonus...what's best???).
Default dip switch settings (at least in MAME 115), which do NOT match Twin Galaxies' settings

- 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!

Whoever can find the bible parchment will likely win.

Hmmm ... a highscore comp where I could actually be a contender. I'll have to get that monitor properly converged on my Rygar. Or, more likely, I won't and will just tell myself that I could have been a contender.
Nice choice of game -- one of my all-time favourites and the machine I have played more than any other since I started collecting.
:cheers:

Hey everybody-
It's a good thing that we're not playing Euchre here, because I'm going to renege--sorry if this makes me unpopular.
But, after playing many games on the "normal" skill level, the game seems just too frantic & fast-paced & less fun. One of my favorite bits about Rygar is the creativity of the subsequent levels & wanting to explore & get farther. That's waaaay easier on the "easy" skill level than the "normal" skill level, where baddies are much more plentiful & much faster.
So, I'm altering the original post to change the difficulty level to "easy", straying from Twin Galaxies' settings.
Nobody's submitted a score yet, so nobody should be upset.....I hope..... ;D
Thanks,
-Jason
PS--there will be a prize for this game--not yet sure what...a joystick, a Nintendo cartridge, a...??? ???

Here's a good FAQ site: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rygar/Table_of_Contents
And here's a good (I think?) score to start off the competition (attached).
Thanks,
