Hi Score Competition #24: Defender

<< < (3/12) > >>

jasonbar:
I gave a half-hearted stab at Defender last night.  Didn't even break 7,000.  Even if my control panel were better suited to a Defender layout, I'd still stink mightily.

I played some Dig Dug II instead.  :]


In the future, I'd like to see an effort to select competition games that have pretty "standard" controls.  (not bashing on Todd H--just inserting my $0.02).

Ginsu Victim:
I was much happier when MAME supported hacked controls to control Defender more like the 2600 version. I've had to add an older version into my FE just to play it how I like.

DrFrag:
Never played this before.  Here's my first attempt:

8,450.

I'm just gonna enjoy this brief moment of being ahead before it's taken from me for the next 2 weeks.  :cheers:

Yea, it's almost as good as the Robotron insert sound. ;)

Which one?

I'm really surprised none of the champs have chimed in on this. Everyone forget TOK's Defender thread? Anyways, a two-player, six-button-each panel can accomodate this easily. I have mine set up in general fashion for games that have three or more buttons - thrust is lower-left, fire is upper-middle, smart bomb is lower left. Reverse is upper-left, and hyperspace is upper-right (though I rarely have enough mind to use it).

After about ten games, this is what I got. (Progressively better, then the last game was only eighteen grand, so I knew it was time to quit.)
