@UDb23 We need a photo of @meleu wearing a jet pack like the main character in the game and you can use that ;)

@obsidianspider I'm not good with cosplaying :-)

@UDb23 can we suggest a mainstream game? Example: when I receive guests with children at my home they usually like to play The Simpsons. Would you make an overlay for this game?

UDb23

@meleu this one ?

meleu

@UDb23 exactly! :-)

UDb23

@meleu OK. Will be my next overlay.

@meleu said in MAME ROW #14: Cop 01:

they usually like to play The Simpsons.

Most would say that out of the dozens made, this is the only good Simpsons game out there. I would argue that 'The Simpsons: Hit & Run' is also amazing, but they're both great games regardless.

UDb23

@meleu ... Next.. right after this one ;-)

UDb23

@meleu There's something for you here.

@obsidianspider that's a decent score, I've only been able to get 18,000 so far!

meleu

@GtBFilms yeah! @obsidianspider got a decent score indeed.

I'm on a trip with friends and family but I brought my raspi. I've got 30k but didn't take a picture because I didn't beat the 33k of @obsidianspider . I will try harder soon. :-)

I'm going to have another go today, but a few tips that I've found while playing:

You don't have to use the jet pack to jump, you can just press up to jump and that will be used most of the time when jumping
Kill all the bats. There are a ton of them and they don't kill you like a regular enemy. They will drain some of your jetpack charge, but they're not instant death.
Shoot all of the security orb things before you worry about the people on the ground. You can jump or duck under most of the bullets, but those things coming from overhead at an angle can get tricky.
You get an extra life at 20,000 points. I'm not sure if/when another extra life is triggered, I still haven't topped my 33,000 from the other day

@obsidianspider what elevator do you get when in zone 02?

obsidianspider

@meleu I've only ever taken the first one, but I may try the second one just to see what happens.

lilbud

Is it just me, or does the main character move VERY slowly?

meleu

@lilbud it doesn't happen here. What version are you using? I'm using 0.78 (mame2003) on raspi2 and I think the movements are "normal". Just like the video posted above.

meleu

My current hi-score: 34300.

obsidianspider

@meleu Will there be a MAME ROW #15 this week?

meleu

@obsidianspider yes. I just need a decent internet connection. Trying to do it right now...

obsidianspider

@meleu No worries. I know it's a bunch of work to set this up. I didn't want to make a bad assumption and then set up an unsanctioned MAME ROW imposter post. ;)
