Can you imagine what's available here ?
;-)

I'm sure nobody really wanted it ... apart from our Script Grandmaster @meleu :-))

It's almost like you guys think it's going to win this week. 😉

How do you come up with that idea ?

[meleu]

@obsidianspider I'm wondering what will be the score of a guy who have the Joust character as his avatar.

[obsidianspider]

This week's winner is Water Ski! Joust

[meleu]

Donald Trump?

@obsidianspider today is NOT April first!!!

[obsidianspider]

@meleu Glad to see someone is actually reading these posts ;)

Am I the only one who gets 4 credits to start with here?
I don't know if it makes any difference though, it seems there's no continues allowed, just thought it was weird. Playing on MAME2003.

[obsidianspider]

@andershp I just did some testing by "putting in a lot of coins" and then I exited out of the game (Start + Select). When I went back in those credits were still there. I guess that's just how this game is. Something is being stored by MAME regarding your credits.

[obsidianspider]

15,250 to get things started. I have to burn off those credits from testing what @AndersHP reported. Sure, that's a good excuse…

[obsidianspider]

Weird, I just got a "Maximum 5 Entrys" message when trying to record my score in the leaderboard. I guess that's so you don't have one person filling up the screen.

I played a little last night. I've always loved how weird the concept for 'Joust' is, but it's just genuinely fun to play as well. Even the sound effects are top notch. I particularly like the sound it makes when you respawn.

[meleu]

50k?! Pretty nice! My best untill now is 48600.

@meleu

I had not died at all when I got that score either and then the next level demolished me in no time.

Well, here’s my first attempt:

@caver01

Well done sir! you do your avatar justice indeed.

[caver01]

@mediamogul Thanks. I lost a mount pretty early too and I was devastated, but I kept going. Not a bad outing at all! In my experience, it is hard to break 100k, but I can occasionally get into the 90s. Hitting 92k on the first try was a fluke, but I’ll take it!

[obsidianspider]

Well geeze. I was feeling pretty good about getting 40,600 on my lunch hour.

What Wave are you typically on when you get a score that high?
