This is a pretty cool idea! I'll submit a score later today! One suggestion, i think its more of a challenge if we limit credits. I can see you used 19 credits for your score, Or have a separate section for 1 credit scores.

chroniclard · 17 May 2020 at 13:58

First tell me, what is arcade? :confused:

Them big machines you would find in an arcade

, usually takes coins to play. Not the same as playing the games on system like MegaDrive. Many people build MAME cabinets and have their builds on this forum but I just run it on my PC. If you're still not sure and would like more info, add me on Steam if you have it; Spacedeck.

chroniclard · 17 May 2020 at 14:09

Ah right, MAME. Not tried that for a while!

I'm happy to limit to say 1 credit or have a separate leaderboard for it. The only reason I didn't suggest this is because I didn't find any way of seeing how many credits someone used? Where did you find out how many credits it took me? Also can these be viewed for each game as otherwise wouldn't it be hard to check scores are legit?

cee-S-dee · 17 May 2020 at 14:31

The last 2 digits in your score represent credits used.. at least in Capcom games. I'm not sure how it works in others. Maybe a 1cc leader board would be a good inclusion.

Ok well if it's easy to figure out how many credits have been used, but if it isn't I suppose I'll just take someone's word for it on a particular game, I'm sure nobody will be out to cheat.

I've updated the OP to include a 1C leaderboard. I didn't know about that credit rule on Capcom games so going to go test that feature out before uploading my 1C attempt.

EDIT: Quick test is telling me that on the original credit used, score will be end in 00 but any additional credits added will up the last two digits. So after I died, I inserted my second credit and the two digits jumped to 01, then input my third credit and the score became 02. So going off this, it must mean my OP post used 20 credits (19 extra attempts after the initial 1C to start the game).

Spacedeck · 18 May 2020 at 17:03

I made an attempt at Frogger. The good thing with this game is you can't continue, so only requires 1 leaderboard.

So do we have any takers?

Ill have a pop at that Frogger, however i challenge anybody to beat me score wise on Double Dragon (1987) and Shao Lins Road (1985) for starters.

What score would that be? I'll have a go at these games tomorrow, I've never played either of them.

You never heard of the infamous double dragon? Come on man we’re you been

That frogger I’ve not touched yet as few things came up in last few days but I’ll be on it

Double Dragon was my favourite back then

bought a megadrive just for this game many years ago, amiga, Atari ST etc too, MD was the best home version (except mame of course)

For me there was no home conversion that did the coin-op version justice, they didnt even come close.

That frogger score is no easy score to beat, quite hard tbh

Wolgang · 29 May 2020 at 08:10

What about flappy bird?

Pickirk · 18 Nov 2020 at 10:53

I would love to be able to build my own arcade.
I remember the arcades in Blackpool in the 80's. They had some great games,frogger,galaga, galaxian, golf etc.

Chris [BEANS] · 19 Nov 2020 at 16:17

I’ll submit my 1 credit score for Metal Slug later...

Nice idea for a thread!

Chris [BEANS] · 20 Nov 2020 at 14:02

Metal Slug, 1 credit, Level 4 (Normal) difficulty - 777790

I dropped off on this and ventured to other games but I've updated the first post. I'm going to kick this off again this weekend and have another go at these scores.
