Salamander 133,600.

I don't remember this one.

Managed 216,000. Hard as nails this one. Pretty cool surprise after the first boss!

 

[Metalface Mark]

i was actually gonna suggest the newly released salamander 3 as a game - been away on holiday, will put up a score this week though.

I got this working on my mame cabinet, but for some reason it's defaulted to 15 lives!
What is the default number of lives everyone else is seeing so I can set it correctly?

Pretty sure I had three lives.

 

[cheesyboy]

3 lives in total on mine, albeit I'm playing 'Lifeforce', which I think is the north American name?

Only had time for two goes, 73,600. didn't get very far!

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

298,400 for Salamander.

 

[Zowghi]

Had my first commute on Salamander and 180,100.

It took me way too long to figure out where to shoot on the first boss...

Salamander 290,000.

Just discovered there are missiles and you have to press fire 2 to make them work. Makes it so much easier. Hammering fire 1 and fire 2 once you are suitably powered up makes the vertical section so simple, at least until the asteroids.

I don't get the second boss. Shot so many times at the barriers next to the blue eye and nothing. Then when I'm on the topside of him somehow it explodes.

The solar surface level though...just cruel.

Yep deffo 3 lives. Default rom Salamander version D.
Default DIPs.

Lives: 3
Difficulty: Normal

I noticed this morning that if you put more than 1 coin in, the game continues after 3 lives without asking you to continue.

 

[Tealc]

Oh will need to be careful around that.

 

[Metalface Mark]

217,200.

 

[cheesyboy]

235,100.

It's basically pointless having more than 1 life. As soon as I died on lvl2, my starting canon is just an ineffective peashooter and I can't kill enough stuff to earn my big guns back.

 

[m4cc45]

198,300 - far harder than i remember

[Tealc]

321,500.

It turns out that the solar flares do at least follow a top, bottom, top, bottom sort of pattern, or at least until towards the end. I lost my first life just before the boss of the level but despite this even with the pea shooter you just circle around and shoot the head when you can. Then onto another vertical section but being underpowered here with the enemy faster ships ended quickly.

 

[Tealc]

358,200.

Made it a bit further into the vertical section after the sun surface level.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

365,000. Lost all 3 lives in the space of about 5 secs.

 

[m4cc45]

252,700 beat the second boss (slightly easier with the multiples but no decent weapon) the 3rd level is massively unfair though with those stupid flames.
