i tried to play yesterday, realised the mister core is still in beta and i dont sub to jotego anymore since he focuses a lot on the pocket now.
Arcade High Scores! Current Game: GALAGA '88 - COME ON IN!
- Thread starter Spacedeck
- Start date
Don't you only need the key from subbing once?
Soldato
yeh but it expires after a while when a new key comes out if you update.

I used Bart and basically stuck to his jump / dive attack. Turns out the first level is pretty easy doing that. Next level the difficulty ramps up.

Had a couple of goes last night. Got 50 on my first try, with Homer, then about 35 on second go, with Marge.
It's a game I always looked out for, but only ever played a handful of times back in the day. I remember Flambards in Cornwall had it, when I was on holiday there.
I did play it with my son at a retro arcade in Bristol a couple of years ago, though.

Yeah it's not the best game to play on your own chasing high scores. It is much more fun playing with 2 or more people.
Managed 46 with Marge. Lost pretty much all my lives at the first boss! Got defeated just after the spinning teacups. Turned into a one button spam this game.
Early peek at next game

My final top score on Simpsons was 65, with Homer.
OP updated with new game.
Unfortunately 12 hours too late to include in the biweekly leader board, sorry. I have updated the general leader board further down the OP to include it there!

Ooh Robotron eh. Played this one a fair bit under emulation but not for many years.
Might need to work with a gamepad for this one. The original game as far as I recall had one stick for 8 way movement and another for 8 way firing.

I quite like this one, after a couple of goes. It's like Smash TV's grandparent
48,100 best after half a dozen goes. The fifth wave just destroys me!
E:
67,525 now

Robotron 2088 is hardcore! Very difficult! Here is my score:

58375 here got to stage 6 with the brain things.
New score, 119250
Got a few levels beyond the brain one. I think it was the first or second level after the Tank appears.
Tried using my arcade stick for movement and my keyboard numpad arrows for shooting directions and that's what worked for the above score after a few tries.

ive not had a crack yet - i bought a couple of pvm's over the past few weeks so still waiting on some cables arriving. Im guessing an xbox pad or something will work best on this for the twin stickness.

I can get to the tank level but haven't managed to get past it yet. The random placement of the enemies and the family members can really make or break a run. It feels great when you get a cluster of the family members close to your spawn point all walking towards you. The amount of runs that have ended early because I randomly walked into one of the easy enemies is really frustrating. Oh and screw those enemies who fire out the x's!
