I wanted play yesterday but my computer is playing up and not loading MAME at all. Need troubleshooting today to see if I can find the issue.
Arcade High Scores! Current Game: Star Wars! - COME ON IN!
- Thread starter Spacedeck
- Start date
Finally back up and running. This game is very sensitive with movement, currently at 49,220.
EDIT: 133,590

Congrats Tealc once again.
Now my MAME is fixed, I should be able to be more active now. Going to see if I can have my first attempt later today.
Quick ping for everyone who previously took part to see who fancies coming back.

If there is a way to promote this thread for more activity, would be nice to see!

Only managed 5,840 so far. These are fast! Can be pretty difficult getting a hit.
I'm playing Nichibitsu version, it's the only one available on MAME.

Sorry for delay, game updated.
The movement is really difficult to get right on this game. Flying feels really sped up. I've come close to getting past wave 3.
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

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!

Well done @lovelyhead with that high score!
This weeks game goes to @Metalface Mark
Should be an interesting game with how the last of these type went.

New game:
I've definitely have been lacking these past few weeks, I must jump back in this week.

Do you manage to clear the locked areas on floor 1? I find that pretty challenging.
31420 with warrior.
Although I will say this score wasn't achieved completely in keeping with the spirit of competition! I didn't cheat but there is a really really easy way to achieve this score without even leaving level 1...
Added for now, I would be interested in hearing how everyone else thinks about these type of scores.
It doesn't break any rules though and anyone else could very easily do the same should they wish to, I just assume it's time consuming. I could list the leaderboard by floor achieved before score. Although don't want to do that unless others agreed, also don't know how easy it would be for someone to get a low score but a higher floor level.
So not sure in this situation.
@Tealc guessing the 43,200 was obtained in a similar fashion to @lovelyhead? Getting high scores on the first level alone probably wouldn't be that hard. The way the game can be played makes the scoring a little confusing.
I don't know how to score this one fairly, so for now I'm just going with everyone top score, and if another fairer option comes up, I might change it.

Updated game.
Only managed 26,100 so far. Apparently at some point in time I did manage 36,842. Can't get anywhere near that this week.
Level 3 is where I'm most likely to lose the first bonus.
EDIT: best now is 43,200.

So far I have 117,840. Getting high scores seems fairly difficult.
