- One credit only!

- No continues or adding credits!

- No MAME cheats!

- Last day is Sunday May 6th (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2012.
 
- High score wins.

- No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round.

- MAME INP recordings are encouraged but optional.

- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the game screen.

- If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition among 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!

- Even if you don't have a competitive score or if you don't *think* that you have a competitive score, please post it anyway to keep the thread fun & to give everybody a good sense of score ranges.

- Please make sure your scores are from games that take place during the competition period (no posting your best score from last year, etc.).

- Use of autofire or other non-standard hacks within MAME or your PC's OS are not allowed.  No program or other person or entity of any sort may manipulate your controls during your game.  Coaching & back-seat driving is fine as long as the party doesn't directly influence the game or controls.

- If you can beat any of the high scores from the previous competitions, you can submit your score to the BYOAC High Game Scoreboard.

Sorry for the delay!   At the last minute I changed my mind and went with 1942 (revision B).   I am not sure what the differences are but I thought I'd go with the latest version.  I noticed that this is the first game that starts with a number!   ;D

jasonbar:
Thoughts/comments, in no particular order:

1 - Great choice! Finally, back to a solid SHMUP!
2 - 2 lives!??!? How very stingy! I think that the other version(s) might give you 3. Oh well, this makes it more of a challenge!
3 - If MAWS were up, perhaps I could verify this, but I believe that higher rev numbers/letters don't necessarily imply later revs, just different revs.
4 - I used to have a 1942 custom table in my kitchen, right next to a matching Pengo table. Custom taller, bigger fake woodgrain tables made for Round Table pizza, if I recall correctly. Nice & big & easy to work on--lots of room inside!
5 - Points for medium & big planes seem to grow for successive kills, as long as you yourself don't die.
6 - Not a ton of variety in planes & behaviors & landscape, but there is a tad.
7 - My shoulder's sore after 2 games. Score submission to kick things off: 255,600!

Thanks,
-Jason

This is a favourite! Might have to have a look in (",)

Only prob is a strange glitch xp has on my cab where if you hit fire and loop at the same time your position freezes and you have to 'double tap' the joy to make it move again. Not too bad in 1942, drives me nuts in Commando  :timebomb:

Yes, after 4 weeks of chopping wood and maze running I wanted just wanted to shoot stuff!

That was the default when I checked the settings.  Is that what everyone else is seeing?   The first bonus is so low that you barely get half way thru the first round and already have a 3rd plane.

Oh, I didn't know that.   I wasn't sure which one to pick.    :)

Nice score by the way!   I like this game but not very good at it so far.   I always forget to loop when I'm in trouble.   I'm at 63k.
