MAME ROW #159 - In The Hunt

[AndersHP]

@IanDaemon Thats because the joystick on the arcade machine is special, I believe it doesn't center or something like that.

@ByteThis I know, and graphics style is quite similar. Very cool game indeed.

I wasted a lot of time (and quarters...) on 720 in my youth. Never played In the Hunt. Will have to try it.

I remember two cabinets in the arcades for 720....an initial "skateboard" control cabinet and then later a "traditional" control cabinet.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

It looks like the game doesn't have a hiscore or attract mode to show the hiscores. I took a screenshot after beating the 1st level (got shut down early in the 2nd). Seems like a slow paced shmup, easy to get into. 88500 so far.

EDIT: I used this guide to learn about the power-up system. It's briefly explained in the game's poster.

In The Hunt is a cool, slower paced, game. I dig it.

OK, so it turns out there's a hiscore - it just appeared at the end. Didn't get much further than the previous hiscore, but managed to improve it slightly - 105200.
