Sometimes, I can swear I didn't see it when the going gets tough and suddenly your dead only to realize you crashed into a bloody electrode.

That's a sick score...
One thing I keep seeing is things hiding behind other things, but due to the way the graphics are handled, you end up not seeing the things on the lower layer. Kind of a flickery black box that covers what's below it until you destroy that enemy. I don't know if this is a MAME issue, or whether the original did this as well. I'm using an older version, so it's possible that it's a graphic thing that's since been fixed.

I never really considered that aspect, but I know exactly what you are referring to. I think there's a good possibility that this, as well as what I mentioned above, has contributed greatly to my "electrode problem". I never seem to give them a wide enough berth and kind of see them as a lower threat since they aren't actively trying to kill me. This complacency is certainly a good part of the problem.

Thanks you RT!
Did you notice I still had a full deck of men lined up. My wife started heckling me for supper, so I pressed pause and the game is still waiting for me. You've got to love that.
As for "things hiding behind other things", this has always been the case. I've never noticed any "black box" effect on the original or any of the mame versions I've played. What version are you running?
And complacency is bad. It's very fast paced and hectic most of the time which means you have to ready and alert all the time.
Is it me or is getting out of a prolonged, hectic situation by the skin of your teeth elating?

Heh, don't you lose that Robotron zen mojo that Eugene Jarvis referred to when you stop and come back to a game like that?
(+_+):
Yes, but I'll get my zen mojo back after a wave or 2 and start kicking its behind again until my wife starts nagging about supper or some other nonsense. It's better to stop at this point for many reason's which you married couples out there can fully understand.

My record, using Happ supers on MAME is 225,000 ish. My Girlfriend has recently beaten the 100,000 barrier so maybe she will have the top female score.
I'll get screenshots when I get in from work and post the exact figures.
IMHO this is the best videogame of all time. As far as Im concerned nothing comes close. Maybe it has something to do with using the left and right side of the brain at the same time?
Oh yeah, anyone that gets above 300,000 :notworthy:
