MAME ROW #3: Lizard Wizard

Lizard Wizard.

LIZARD WIZARD!

Whoa, sorry about that. Sounded like some sort of crazy cult chant. :)

This should be another fun one. I'm really enjoying this series as it's not only gotten me to figure out how MAME works, but it's also exposing me to games that I've never even heard of.

If anyone claims to get past those cheating spiders on level 7 on a single credit, I won't believe them!

meleu

@GtBFilms LOL! It's really hard, but I get past after a few attempts.
How can I prove it?! I think I'll use the @RetroResolution method here. :-)

It's a pitty that the score remains after using more coins to continue...

meleu

A starting point hi-score: 93800

Played on RetroPie using only one coin.

A tip to get a nice score: the rocks worth 2000 points, but when they are burning worth 2500. The problems are (1) the green dragons like to eat the burning rocks (it means no points for that eaten rock); (2) if you wait too much the blue dragon comes, and it's fast and angry! :-)

This is probably a dumb question, but when is the deadline to post high scores? Is it still by the end of Saturday?

I think that the original @qix77 idea was a weekend tournament. Starting on friday and ending on sunday night. Later we decided to get the random game on monday and play all the week (ending on sunday night). This week we started this voting process, then we dedicate monday tuesday for experimentations and start the real gaming on wednesday (ending sunday night).

BUT I think we realized that it's all just for fun... The current week's game thread is just where there are more people interacting/talking about the game(s). My opinion is: post your hi-score anytime you want on the respective game topic. That's one of the reasons I put the links for the previous rounds. ;-)

BTW: I wanna beat the @lilbud hi-score on Phoenix some day...

I agree. I'm having a lot of fun with this :) Thanks again for organizing.

This round will result in no tournament entry for me :(
Sadly I'm on journey :/

I got nowhere near @meleu's high score. This game was tough, and wow, those blue dragons are fast.

meleu

I have no talent for woodworking, so I'm planning to buy this beauty and put my Raspi in it:

I think our weekly gaming will be much more intense when I get it.

Woo hoo!

I don't know that I'll get higher, so here's my submission.

meleu

@obsidianspider did you take the screenshot before the "game over"?!
BTW: nice score! I'll try to beat it this evening :-)

obsidianspider

@meleu It was after Game Over. I was waiting for a more interesting screen for the capture than the one that says to insert a coin for two more men. :)

I try to plan a bit of composure myself whenever possible. It sorta adds a 'Pokemon Snap', 'Dead Rising' or even 'Spider-Man vs the Kingpin' element to the whole thing. Great score!

meleu

I've got this score when I was lucky enough to rescue a lot of those guys in the bubbles, they worth 1000 each. (and waiting the rocks start to burn on the first 2 stages): 104000

Game over in the spiders stage... :/

GtBFilms

Damn those spydors!

The second score is my best single credit attempt. The top score was unlimited credits just to see what happened next.

meleu

I've created a new topic for this week:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4645/mame-row-4

I'm glad with our weekly gaming! :-)

@meleu
Yeah, I'm enjoying trying out some unknown games that I wouldn't normally know about, thanks for taking the time to organise this @meleu
