This game is kicking my butt!

Whew, finally got to six digits.

You get an extra life at 30,000 and 100,000 points. I still don't know how to get past "AREA.1"

@obsidianspider Wow! nice score man!!!

There's a kind of boss that keeps changing the plane. You have to press up until the top of the "wall" to go after it. See

.

I could get to the AREA.4, but to be honest I didn't notice when I passed from one to another :P

A quick googling about "4-D Warriors strategies" took me to wikipedia. There's no real strategies, but there are some description of all those strange things that happen in this game and it might help. Take a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-D_Warriors

What should we do when a MAME ROW game needs some tweaks to work? (it is implicit in this question that after the tweaks the game are perfectly playable with a joystick)

I think it depends on what you consider a tweak. I wasn't about to recompile MAME just to play a single game, but mapping a button doesn't bother me.

if people don't want to do the tweak then they can vote for another game in the poll.

so many polls already. is this how the EU started? ;)

Good point. It fits the K.I.S.S. principle and there's no chance to make the little mess like I made this week.

Was definitely more a fan of Space Duel. 4-D Warriors is a bit choppy and hard to figure out what exactly is going on.

I think I need to turn up the definition on my vector preferences, the little + shaped mines were really hard to see on a small screen.
