MAME ROW #150 - 1942

Awesome!
@obsidianspider please remember to carry over some of these great games to other ROW's.

Now for some shmup action!
I always like to hear if people run these in mame2003 or fbalpha?

[Brigane]

@AndersHP are there any noticeable difference between the two emulators with this particular game?

I've run it through fbneo. Seems to work fine.

[sirhenrythe5th]

I guess i will run on any MAME-Version or FBAlpha/-Neo as it is from the early 80s and therefore does not need much performance.

Only issue that i have with AdvanceMame is the lack of highsocre-saving.
AdvanceMame only supports "Revision A", which seems to be not supoorted by highscore.dat.

@AndersHP I try LR-MAME versions first , FBA/NEO second, and AdvMAME third. But that's just me.

[AndersHP]

@Brigane I don't know, I'm using lr-fbneo also.

What's the deal with the whistle-tune in the beginning of this game?
Is it some kind of WW2 reference, that I don't get? :)

[quicksilver]

@AndersHP I didn't even realize it was a song. Just kept wondering what the annoying chirping sound was. Hahaha

[IanDaemon]

Meh. Now I lost sound. (grrr)

[mitu]

After a lot of practice - I don't play a lot of shmups - I got a lucky break and reached the Marshall Islands. Previous hiscore was the 3rd (I used 1 save state for #2, so that doesn't count).

[quicksilver]

@mitu wow for not playing shumps that's really good! My top scores have been trash so far so I haven't had anything worth posting yet.

[IanDaemon]

I'd love to devote more time in the evenings to chase these high scores. Nice work!

[mitu]

I tried to improve the score, but didn't get further than stage 5, this time with 154490 as hiscore.
