<< < (10/13) > >>

jimmy2x2x:
Thats twice today I have read about xp 64 running mame a lot faster!

I must try it out on my ageing mame pc

Excellent score there bender, well done ;)

Hurray Banana:
Well done Bender, haven't got time to come back at ya.

I've actually beaten this bloody game in the Arcade so it doubly annoys, that I got killed so lame, it gets harder later when you have the orbs to fight and the amazon boss and kong boss before the final boss (which is a stink)

I think I'm gonna keep playing at this one so I may enter a throw down score at some point.

Well done.

Got back from my dinner party & had a little time to play.  Investigated some opportunities to point-press.  In the first level, you can kill lots of time along the first area & kill lots of guys & midget robots.  That can give you another thousand or so.

Then I came across a sweeeeet point source near the end of the 3rd(?) level, just before the boss that is the giant orb spinning around in the giant empty room.  You can squat there & shoot the small floating mines that slowly fill up the screen & shoot the occasional soldier who comes by.  I had 1 helper which was keeping the soldier from being a threat.  I don't know how many thousands I racked up there, but it was a lot.  You can let the timer run down to near-zero & then enter the big boss chamber & the timer resets again.

88,150 was the result--I didn't quite get as far as those slowloy extending & retracting spikes--that part's a real bear.


Still 1 hour to go--go for it!

Thanks,
-Jason

Bender:
second again :cry: :cry:

didn't want to mess with point pressing till I beat the game on 1 credit
I did get past the spikes only to die twice in the second orb room
73,750

Bender - can you Link me to where I get mame 64?

Jasonbar - my hat off to a true competitor who not only takes top spot again, but tells other players his secret!  :lol
