        That overlay is excellent, thanks!

        Somehow I managed to get to the docking stage, I'm not entirely sure how, as on other games I got further and it didn't appear.

        Anyway, my best so far is a not too impressive 5840!

          This game is hard . I think I scored 1200 or so on my second attempt - the first I died with 300 or so. So way to go @GtBFilms !

          Thanks for the overlay as well @UDb23, it's a great alternative for an overlay with details about the game!

          There's a really good one for Moon Cresta in the Arcade Bezels shared by John Merrit somewhere, and I believe in Floob's tool, I believe: https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager

          They can be found here, I think:

          https://github.com/libretro/arcade-overlays

          in particular here:

          https://github.com/libretro/arcade-overlays/blob/master/overlays/borders/Final_Arcade_Moon_Cresta.png

          Hope it helps as well, for inspiration or as an alternative! I think it's based on the actual cabinet.

            @pjft Thanks for the link. I saw that one too, yes it reproduces the original bezel used in actual cabinets (I played the real thing many many years ago).
            Personally I prefer using overlays with maximum game area, using original artwork (cabinet graphics or flyer), no curvature or reflections/shadows effects.

              @GtBFilms and then the comets came blasting down and took your last life, right? :P

                  @UDb23 Yeah, I'm not a great fan of the curvature either, to be honest. I still haven't settled on whether to use overlays or not, so I'm just trying thins and seeing what sticks.

                  I do need the scanlines overlay, though - without that it's really hard for me to enjoy playing any of these games :)

                        @UDb23 I think having the instructions for the games is a really nice feature. Thanks UDb23!

                          Woohool!! I passed through the comets! But didn't destroy a single enemy after that... :(

                          At least I got a nice hi-score: 7240
                          B-)

                            @meleu only 6040 here... (killed by comets) ... these aliens are really tough !

                            Did you also notice slow controller reaction when selecting letters for high score ?

                              Yep. I keep the d-pad pressed to make it going faster. But the input seems laggy ate that screen.

                                Maybe I'm just missing something, but how do you steer the ship when docking? Pressing left and right does nothing, and pressing the button doesn't seem to do a whole heck of a lot either.

                                  @obsidianspider Left & right do work during docking, basically just reacting slower to input.

                                    UNBELIEVABLE!! I passed through those missiles after the meteors (according to the information in the @UDb23 's overlay, they are called Atomic Pile). And after that the enemies repeat: Cold Eye, Super Fly, Four-D, Meteor and Atomic Pile.

                                    I died at the second session of Atomic Piles. But got a really nice hi-score: 17180.

                                    A word about scoring: what really makes difference are the bonus stages! Almost 9k of my score came from two bonus stages.

                                        @meleu Wow, that is an amazing score!

                                        I managed to improve a little but am no-where close to you!
