High Score Competition #54 - Tapper (Budweiser)

<< < (2/16) > >>

CapriRS302:
Tapper is my favorite!   I will work on a score this weekend

BadMouth:
Anyone care to talk strategy or is it every man for himself?

I played a few games the other night.  Normally, I'd just try to clear boards as fast as possible.
In the name of trying to get a higher score, I tried some different things.

On the first board, if you let the guy at the bottom bar get fairly far before you send him a beer, he doesn't leave and people will keep coming in the other doors.  This allows you to score more points on the first board, but the pace will pick up eventually.

Not sure if this strategy is best or not, but exploiting little things like that is how the pros seem to work.

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!  :angry:

I debated using that strategy, but it sounds like things get crazy almost as fast as just clearing the stage normally.

One strategy I've been found when things get more chaotic is to just focus on two bars until they are essentially cleared.  Then focus on the other two bars.  And go back and forth doing this.  This helps to catch the mugs being passed back as you only have to move up or down once.

ARGH!!! I'm so frustrated with this game:

1.) The fat football player looking guy can surely put 'em away
2.) What a-hole leaves tips down the far end of the table?
3.) Clearly there are a lot of stolen mugs because the return rate on them is about 20% :)
4.) If you're going to be ignorant and turn around, at least take your beer first.

I'll give this one a crack (",)  Gauntlet wasn't really my thing...

Edit: damn, I can't get it to work on my mame cabs version 78 mame. Tried three different sized rom sets! I'm gonna have to put version 34 on there just to play it!

edit: cant even make v34 work on my cab. more luck with v53, but still no Tapper. Is there something special about setting up Tapper? I'm sure I used to play it on my cab. If I can't figure it out, ill have to compete using my GP2X!


DOH! disabled direct draw and it works, just have to find the most useful resolution but at least its now playable on my cab (",)
