MAME ROW #47 - Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move

[obsidianspider]

This week's winner is Puzzle Bobble

Except for @lilbud, he has to play Hard Drivin ;)

@mholsson Well done. If it's your first time playing, you'll get used to it shortly. I suppose the trick is to spot how to finish a level in the shortest number of shots, and be able to pull them off.

I understand the basics myself, though I'm far from a proficient player in it.

Still, I managed to get 2.858.210, reaching round 15. I doubt I'll be able to play a lot more, but it was fun - I mostly play it 2-player.

Still, I'm sure others will demolish this, so have fun :)

@pjft I guess the time bonuses really do add to your score. I didn't get many of them and I had 1.6 million at level 20

Also, Level 20 is evil.

[pjft]

@lilbud Yeah, the time bonuses do add a bit, I think, and I suspect that the number of "bonus" bubbles you take away also help (i.e. the ones that are hanging from the ones you pop, and are thus removed as well). Unsure if I'm explaining it right.

New High Score: 2,905,780

@lilbud well done! What round were you at?

[lilbud]

@pjft If I remember correctly, Level 16

[pjft]

@lilbud Well, you've thrown down the gauntlet now.

I'll have to give it one more try then :P

New High Score: 2,917,800

My meaningful other and I had a first try at it yesterday; didn't get far... just 115.000 :-I
btw what does that "level-4" at the center bottom of the screen means ? I have the same with lr.mame2003's rom.

@udb23 Not quite sure, happens on both Bust a Move and Puzzle Bobble.

It's the difficulty. You can change it messing with the dip switches.

[UDb23]

@meleu ok, no need to mess with that :-)

Cool Buzz-A-Booble :)
One of these endless runners games. Wait for posting my score ;)
