Arcade High Scores! Current Game: CABAL - COME ON IN!

First try with proper controls 74,100.

Game is a bit annoying that when you die the character walks right up into the screen leaving you completely open to another quick death. So for me I got near to 74,100 with the first life and then without a tank or powerups I got totally destroyed. Getting out of the tank is also much slower than it needs to be. Strategy then is to hop from tank to tank.

I didn't try to use any analog controls. I assume this is for tank.

Still I quite liked this on C64 as is similar to Commando. I think there was also another C64 game similar which I played extensively but I forget the title, or maybe I've got that mixed up. Edit: It was likely Who Dares Wins 1 or 2.

Rambo maybe?
 
Mapped Analog inc and dec to some buttons on my arcade stick but to be honest it just makes things harder as you have to think about returning to the centre.

Then tried on an Xbox pad, mapping Analog inc and dec too shoulder buttons and that seems a bit more intuitive. I could even shoot the guys coming from behind on the bridge.

88,900.

As for the above I think it might have been Who Dares Wins 2.


Looks a lot worse than I remember.

841,350. Had to manually change LaunchBox to run the Joystick version rather than the trackball version and can now bind dodge to Button 3. Makes it better.

I will try my best to make a return to the leaderboards. Been very busy and stressful with moving and getting a job.
 
1st try at Cabal 113,270. I didn't initially set up the roll option so have set that up now.

I don't really recall playing this in the arcades but have dabbled on emulation a few times.

Apparently I need the cabalbl.zip (bootleg) ROM instead

I do but have found the standard cabal.zip roll seems to work on button 3. I haven't tried the bootleg to see if there was a difference.
 
Improved to 210,840.

Much like every other game that has a dodge option I'm mostly too slow to remember to press it but it deffo works.
