[Metalface Mark]

Yeah that is a lot of fun when you start playing - after a few minutes of confusion 15785 on my second game.

28,797 - better but still not really getting this game. It can be okay one second but then goes absolutely nuts!

48,954 after a lot of luck, the 3rd level is evil.

Just a note on the game - it has rubber banding, so the better you play the harder it gets.

Thats off-putting, I don't think I can play much worse

That makes sense actually. If I'm lucky I can smash 20k in the first round and then totally fall apart a minute later. Other time I can do 4-5 levels but with 6k per round scoring.

I have to update the OP later on tonight, but the new game will be Q*Bert

So annoyed that I couldn't get this to work on my arcade! I really wanted to post a score!

Missing from my Mame set weirdly. Time to update to 0.279 anyway.

Works on my oldest install of MAME UI where I scored a whopping 12,745 on my third try, although my 0.262 and 0.277 haven't been working great for a bit.

I must have played this in the arcade but maybe it was more on home computer versions like C64 and Atari 8 bit and I certainly remember getting further than I did above. The speech is so dated.

I've tilted my arcade stick 30 degrees so I don't get confused which way to push the stick.

Confirming previous game.

Q-Bert 7075 had to turn my PVM on its side, i need to hook back up of my mini oleds to play regularly.

 

[m4cc45]

QBet - 5,775 - not enjoying the controls

Try keyboard if you can. I didn't get on with stick for this.

 

[Tealc]

Q*bert 23,790.

Make sure you always use the flying discs as there's a point bonus.

I don't think I'll get much higher but we will see!
