I would build one (I nearly built an arcade cabinet at highschool as a DT project!), but I think I'll save them pennies and get an x-arcade & dreamcast adaptor... |
||||||||
|
|

Okay, I'll check the default settings tonight & post them here... Shall we say all get the latest version of mame too? Closing Date 12.00PM (that's lunchtime)GMT Thursday 7th of Novemeber. Email me (only!) your highest score i.e. email me on wednesday evening/thursday morning and I'll post the results here. If you need copies of the rom, email me :) Post any queries here, best of luck! |

Guys, I am gone for a couple of weeks and you turn this place into a geek-show. Where are the porn topics? |
||||||||

Hey! Retro gamings cool! :P Ya big bully! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No can do. I am struggling with No One Lives Forever 2 at the moment. No time for retro. |

Ha ha, bet you only play it cos of kate archer? ;) Come on Meho, do you want to take part in the challenge? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, no, though Kate is one of my fave game characters. The game would be good even without her though. No, seriously, I have no time. I do all these travels these days and I have no time to do almost anything else. PLus I suck at all the games that actually demand skills.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm the opposite there... I have no time to get into games... it's these old games that you can just load up and play straight away! Because I don't have much time for any newer type games. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, OK, I just love immersing myself in games that have a good story and everything else that goes with it. Agreed, my social life, book-reading and house tasks suffer for it, but, hell, you only have one life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
......welcome back by the way :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, good to see you again :) Where have you been/what have you been up to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Meho! I need you to mail me your address please. I lost it and your e-mail addy. :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am not back exactly. I mean, I will not be in the office tomorrow again. Well, we have a programme consultant from Canada here at the moment, so I have to do field visits with her every couple of days and then, when I am back in the office, there's a lot of work to catch up with, so I have no time for this MB. However, I am happy to see you are doping just fine without me... If only you'd discuss some porn here and there... |

No problems spikee, you're getting an email in a minute. What happened to the dragon avatar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I'm slowly turning into a female so I had to compromise with a half human girl half dragon for now. The doctor loves me. |

I missed Meho :( |

Okay, here are the rules: Set extra life to "5000 & 10000". No use of "save game" plugins etc. That's it. Happy Blasting. Oh and I got 7010 last night, read it and weep ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should get out more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should stay in more... |

I was just reading online about fast & slow bullets in berzerk. Anyone know how this is changed? (doesn't appear to be dip switch settings...) We're using rom set 2 BTW :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ROM set 2 is just a clone of 1 right... I've been using set 1. I havent noticed any difference... but I have been doing better in set 2... funny that :-s btw, good score that, it gets too freakin' psycho at that amount of points... almost enough to give you a heart attack! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got it when I was smashed last night. I was reading online that after 10,000 points it pretty much becomes a game of chance... BTW all, it's well worth reading the tips at mame.dk relating to this game... you'll vastly increase your score if you follow them (I did -first game after reading and my score was *3 :) ) Princo, you beaten yours yet? How're the rest of you doing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't even played it yet! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you need the roms (email me if you do)? Get practicing boy! ;) Str_ph, how about you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's OK mate. Good ol' Princo sent them to me. I got the MAME last night. Out tonight so it'll have to be the weekend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He he, cool. Let us know how you do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will do mate, will do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummm... almost got 5000, that does it, I'm gonna read up on them tips! :) Or maybe I'll just get shit faced and play it... seem to work for you! hehehe ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, its strange. I think I don't get distracted so easily when I'm drunk. I can just focus on something... I used to play counterstrike much better when I was out of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can type faster (but mostly not better) when I'm drunk.... But I'll give it a stab next time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Last night tonight! Get those scores to me tonight or tommorow. BTW I can't prove that 7010 from the other night as it didn't save it for some reason so I'm discounting it (I honestly did get it though)... my highest provable score is something like 4000. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
20 mins left to submit those scores! Doesn't look like this was a great success :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Closed! No new attempts at high scores, but can people post their highest (proveable) score here? Me: 6410. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got 0. I didn't even get round to playing it. Surely I win for the lowest score. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, this weeks results: 1st: Me. 2nd: Giginger. Any ideas on how to make this work better in future? Bigger timescale? Wait longer before deciding on a game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yay! I came second. No ideas how to make it work. But if I keep this standard up I'm going to look good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wooooops... :-S I Forgot there was a time limit... Havent played it in a while... Sorry. But I got around the 4000 mark. :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bad Princo..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any interest in another attempt with a different game? Any suggestions welcome... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe something that people are more firmilar with, perhaps on a console.... and even worse (for me) a more recent one... MAME would of been a little tricky to come by for most people I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We'd need a game nearly everyone had access to or that waas at least easily downloadable. Maybe make a self extracting zip with the appropriate emu & rom available in the at.nu FTP site if we asked nicely? Any ideas of games? Like you say, mame might be too geeky for most people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which sample is it that 54 cymru beats uses? I think something most people will of already played might be a good idea, level the playing field a bit... perhaps NES super mario brothers 1? Ophecks at least would almost certainly get involved then ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Sample when you get shot in Berzerk, have a listen to that next time you play it and listen to 54 Cymru Beats. It's slotted in there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"mame might be too geeky for most people... " Ouch! :-( ahhh well... it's true! :) I do play a few arcade machines at pubs aswell... sad but I don't care! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, I think I know the one. I'll have a listen tonight. I play arcade machines too. Mainly only old ones. There was a record store down an alley where I went to university that had a metal slug machine in the back :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Metal Slug... now that's a beauty! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hadn't played it in the arcade for years-I thought the slowdown was just in the emulated version. The guy in store seemed amazed at how long I was playing it for (only 2 credits and I was on for well over 10 mins). I love practicing on emulators then getting hi scores on an arcade machine... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
New challenge Princo has proposed is highest score with 1 credit on Wonder Boy. Run a recent version of MAME and put the settings to easiest. All welcome, contact me for a copy of the game if you need it. Please post here if you're going to take part. Cheers, Ceri. |
