Game competition #5: Mame - Robotron 2084
Ummon:
Well, not much better. This was on Mame32 .104 . Recorded this one, too, but it doesn't play right. Hmmmm.
I think those who are going to play non-default settings should be considered a branch-off - I just did mine to test out - it which case it would be best to start a thread on that kind of thing rather than it be part of the comp.

I tried level 10 today for the first time, and the game is much more intense. I was getting 150,000 most of the time and I finally got one good game in. I don't know if I can challenge your million score, but I plan on keeping level 10 as my default. It's actually more fun because the games are shorter now. :)

When you compare playing on level 10 vs factory settings, it's like going to work vs a stroll in the park. Put it this way, if you persist at level 10 and improve and then fall back to level 3 or 5, you should be rolling the game in no time. When you can roll the game on level 10/30,000 per free man you're there. Where there is, I'm not quite sure. ;)
After that, there's always playing one hand each with a buddy. It's a whole new experience. Be the mover, it's more fun. With a good partner on level 5, you can roll the game too.
Neverending Project:
Do most people play with the left stick moving and right stick firing (default, I think)? I'm just curious if there is a trend with the better players.
Either way, I suck.

I was able to roll the score over 10 million back in the 80's at the miniature golf that had a Robotron. That game let the high scorer put up a 20 character message and I had a rivalry with a friend putting up messages. If you're out there Aaron - "LUDTKE SUCKS" ;D After 25+ years my skills have deteriorated and now my scores are only in the 2-3 million range on MAME.
ahofle:
This seems like an appropriate time to bow down and post some old interviews of Eugene Jarvis and Larry DeMar (creators of Robotron). :notworthy:
