Also, if you're playing this on MAME, you may want to check what speed it's running at (hit F11). I played a couple of games before realizing my setup had it running at 158%

Good tip, hopefully mine is running fast too. Maybe running at normal speed will help my score. :lol
Those tanks need to be shot twice. Once to take out their mobility and once more to take out their gun. ---daisies---!

Well you scored pretty good already --- Maybe it's running at 50% :laugh2: BTW you're widescreen pic with the artwork looks good and I agree having the artwork cropped on the sides during gameplay makes looking at the screen much better than looking at all that black without it !

Well, I changed my strategy from chasing them down/keep moving to hide in a narrow alley and wait for them. Cheap, but effective.

I'll add that shooting tanks twice earns you 50 points instead of the 20 you get for disabling it's movement with the first shot. I can't tell how the helicopter bonus works, but I'm guessing it's cumulative, i.e. the first one is +10, the second is +20, etc. until your jeep is lost.

I played this with my brother as kids. It gets tough, but you really get your quarters worth.
It's a great 2 player game if you've got someine to play with. One can bait the tanks/turrets while the other sneaks up. Then you hope the helicopter targets the other guy! haha
Oh, and if this game is new to you and you dig it (Tully), you may also enjoy Rip Off if you aren't familiar with that. Same type of controls and again, more fun with 2 players.
Here's my best after several attempts...4580.

Think that's how it works and then it goes to 30 and 40 and then a free jeep if you can hit 5 on the one jeep and goes back to 10 again etc. (played around on one game to see how many helicopters I could get before losing a jeep and made it to the free jeep and then back to 30 by avoiding shooting the first tank - but they start to move and shoot faster making the rest of the game tougher after you hit the first tank.
