MAME ROW #79 - Hotdog Storm

@mediamogul Thank you! That does help and I’ll be giving it another go with these tips in mind. I do use the d pad for this, but I’ve never been that good at this kind of game, I fear I’m getting too old for so much going on on the screen at the same time!(

I feel like I was never young enough. My reflexes have always been sub-par. I try to make up for it with strategy, but that'll only get you so far.

After a lot of practice I finally made it to stage 2 and on to the leaderboard.
152,400 for now

Nice! I've been playing this quite a bit myself. After learning when and where to attack and what type of attack is most effective, I've gotten as hooked on this as I would a good puzzle game.

I was able to work about half way through round two for a score of 175690. I might play a bit more later tonight or maybe in the afternoon tomorrow to get in the full mood for 'Ready Player One'.

You’ll enjoy it I’m sure:) I was expecting it to be just like the book but it certainly doesn’t disappoint.

I tried out this game too. Alongside with my score, I have two questions:
- Is it normal that I get slowdowns with this game?
- Is autofire considered as cheating?
My score is: 167440

Just getting back and it was fantastic. The movie they went into within the movie was a great surprise, as it's one of my favorites of that genre. I also got about 30 mini copies of the movie poster that pays homage to the iconic 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' artwork. Great time!
Is it normal that I get slowdowns with this game?
It's tough to say without comparing it outside the pi, which I haven't. I noticed a small amount of slow down in some areas using AdvanceMAME, but this sometimes accurately portrays the original hardware.
Is autofire considered as cheating?
I don't use it myself, but it doesn't bother me personally. It's not like we're trying for a record in the Guinness Book or anything. Nice score!

Well I made it into the high score table, but only just! This is a tough game!

I'm gonna be sad to see this one go. I had a lot of fun with it. However, I suspect It'll be one of my go-to shooters from now on.

Sorry, but I couldn't hold it back. The run was just too good, made it to stage 3. :D Also finally direct upload from screenshot, no phones anymore.

Very nice! Superhero-like even. I take it you beat, or at least made it to the round 2 boss?
-
@mediamogul Yes beat boss 2 and I was in stage 3. :-)

Well done. Don't stop until you topple 'V. T'. ;)
