MAME ROW #51 - Time Pilot
-
Much like the Joust post I wrote up a while back, I just posted another Arcade Classics: Time Pilot where I added some playing tips/strategy for those who would like a little help with this game.

@caver01 Well done! Just did a 117.000 and was about to post it happily, but now I can't! :D

Why you can't?
-
@meleu Well technically I can, but it's not a highscore anymore!
Oh what the heck, I'll just do it anyway then :)
-
Is the top right planes just an indicator of the current level?
-
@andershp yeah! Do it! :-)
By the way, my older son beated my score. Let me try a little more before moving to the MAME ROW Anniversary Edition.
-
@meleu It's nice to hear the younger generations are in on the fun. Many of these arcade classics have a timeless gameplay.
My son is 2, so he just likes pressing the buttons at random :)

I think it is. I was definitely on the "Jets" 1982 level when I posted 119800. I have yet to see the flying saucers. @meleu posting 88600 having completed just one level is pretty impressive. If you can carry that score into other levels, you will definitely break 100k!
I think there is the potential to take this score even further, as I went into the 1982 with multiple extra lives, but a series of bad maneuvers or bad luck caused me to lose them quickly.

It was my older son obsessed with overcoming me. I didn't even notice the stage. I have to beat his score and show him who rules here.
-
I have to share this, guys :)
-
@andershp BZZZZZZZ! Missed the deadline I think. Disqualified. Ha ha ha. Nicely done.
-
@caver01 Haha! I'm so thrilled to beat this hiscore that I'm gonna post it in every thread on the Forum I think! :D
..eh, maybe just these two.
-
@andershp Ha ha ha, well, you know what I am going to do tonight!
-
@caver01 Hehe.. Yeah let's get a little competition going. I'll probably have to start defending right away..
But there's also a MAME ROW to attend. So many games, so little time :)
-
@andershp Our scores would put us in the Top 30 high scores of all time on this game--according to Twin Galaxies official records. These are obtained on actual game hardware, refereed, but still, I'd say we are doing OK.
-
@caver01 Wow that's pretty cool! But what about dipswitch settings, are they according to Twin Galaxies, you think?
-
@andershp we should double-check, but it says they use the factory default. I would be surprised if that is not a match to the mame default.
