        I think we need a few more ground-rules for this friendly Phoenix contest. I'd like to propose a few, and see if they're acceptable to everyone.

        a. Only original Amstar or licensed Centuri or Taito roms should be accepted. No bizarre versions or bootlegs.
        b. Must have dip switches set for 3 lives per credit (not 4-6).

        That's all I can think of.

          great idea! this game is harsh.. the shield effect seems to have a bit of a warm up, as you can hear the sound and see the effect and still be hit if you do it at the last moment :(

            I agree. Let's make some official rules.

            1. Amstar, Centuri and Taito are acceptable.
            2. Only 3 lives allow per game.
            3. No cheats. This is for fun, not to build selfish egos. Don't be retarded, don't cheat.
            4. MAME only. I was going to just make this exclusive to Retropie, but since some of our friends are having issues with setting up MAME, then Linux/Win/DOS/Mac will be allowed. However, you must state what system you are playing because I'm going to put these in different high score brackets. I shouldn't have to explain why, but this is what it will look like by Sunday.

            name/user name country

            PHOENIX: Retropie.org.uk Forums Tournament:

            RETROPIE

            1. McWhorebuckets UK
            2. Kang-a-gross AU
            3. Fatass4areason USA
            4. Imlost74 BMW
            5. Duhhhhh KGMO
              etc..

            PC MAME

            etc..

            MAC MAME

            etc..

            You get the idea

            1. Screen shots to verify score. Preferably with your camera phone, but since that can be a pain in the butt for some, a screen shot is acceptable.
            2. Don't troll. Some of us are going to suck but we don't care because this is really just for fun.
            3. Pausing is acceptable. Sometimes the wife screams because she's demonically possessed.

            Anyone that wants to suggest some rules, or change the ones before the tournament starts, please post soon.

            :)

                  I keep getting this game confused with 'Demon' (Atari 2600) for some reason. Phoenix isn't easy... and I like that. I'm going to suck at this but I love just joining in on the fun. :)

                    Tournament started. Play as many time you like. Try to take a pic of your highest score. You can post at any time. Sometime on Sunday, let's find out who has placed in what position. I won't even be on the top ten. lol.. but I'm playing like crazy.

                    Next weekend, lets decide what game we want to play next.

                                I gave it a shot, but after about 20. attempts I was filled with anger and frustration ;). I couldn't even get pass 4000 points.

                                Bottom line: I'm too old for this sh*t :D

                                    @Brigane You are too old for a game made 36 years ago. HOW OLD ARE YOU? :D
                                    I'm wondering who is young enough for it...

                                            lol I'm only 32 so I was being a bit sarcastic :)
                                            My point was really that If I tried again I might have destroyed the Pi and TV in anger. It's simply too difficult for me to play :D
