Btw, the game is a bit unfair, because unless you get really nice powerups ( S or P icons) in the first two rounds then play it really safe you're in for a tough ride. My most successful route this far IIRC is:
LEFT
RIGHT
LEFT
LEFT
RIGHT
or
RIGHT
LEFT
RIGHT
RIGHT
LEFT
The key is choosing to change direction as the second "checkpoint" appears, or the following stages will get really nasty. Too bad this game doesn't give you extends. It would be much more fun to play then.

Empahtic, I meant the Score Listing don't follow thru.....
Like your previous lower score is not listed when you get a New higher score.
Does the game only saves the first 2 or the first one only (like Asteroids Deluxe, only the first 3 gets saves)

Oh. No, I don't have a highscore.dat file even, so it's not saving my scores. If I feel that I've screwed up, I just go to the END character and the initials entry will be blank. Just playing for fun on my laptop, so the bare minimum = a folder with MAME + the roms.
I think this will be my last entry in this game's tournament: 484,040 pts!
When you've played the bonus rounds enough, you'll start to memorize 'em, and I can get almost 200K from the first one now.

Looks like you have it in the bag emphatic!
If you do win, don't CAVE in and pander to others - choose something you enjoy ;)

LOL. I'm doing the same thing with the blank entries. Just wish I had a joystick to play with. Still using my keyboard until my cab gets closer to finish.
