High score competition #154 Star Trek
popsicle:
I think a spinner is needed to be effective/enjoyed. 157,700

Well, I knew the PC in my cab wasn't long for this world and it finally crapped out on me while trying to build a spinner out of an old mouse.
popsicle:
Had a really great game, and finally got to see the white ships, which basically move very fast and ram you. Some tips, if at all welcomed (it seems as if I'm playing this competition by myself?)
* Use a spinner, or mouse. Joystick simply won't do.
* Starbases are worth more at the end of the round if you don't visit them for refueling
* Use the warp often in brief spurts to get a better position, esp. when firing a photon torpedo
* Always destroy the purple saucer for big points. Let it chase you then stop moving, turn, and fire
* Starbases give you a shield, a torpedo, and a little warp back. Use some of each before visiting.
* Try to take out more than one enemy with torpedoes, which have a blast radius
I don't really use the bottom 1st person view at all. It's cool and all, but most of the game is played looking at the overhead map.
Had an aneurysm when entering my name ::) 276,800

Controls pretty much knocked me out. Toss in a steering wheel or light guns and I'll check back in 2015.
Good luck popsicle, beat popsicle. May the best popsicle win!

What's with the laziness with DIP switch settings, people? "Default" occasionally changes from MAME rev to MAME rev, & somebody might have tweaked a game's DIP settings long ago, forgotten, & think that they're still "Default." :soapbox:
Attached are my settings. Are these default?
Also attached is my first game score: 133,025. Not bad, but not popsicle quality either. I don't even look at the bottom part of the screen. Keen game. Loved the captain's chair cabinet!
Thanks,
-Jason
