MAME ROW #24 - 1941 - Counter Attack
-
Here is the result:
-
so now I HAVE to make the overlay. ;-)
-
1941 suffers from the common shooter condition of "waytoomuchstuffflyingaroundallatthesametime-itis" but it's proving fun.
Also, a tip. If you hold down the fire button you'll charge up and release a barrage of missiles when you release the button.
I'm not sure how to tell how many bomb/backflip attacks you have in inventory that you use by pressing the alternate button (
Yon my controller). -
controls & weapons:
-
@UDb23 Spinning? How the heck do you do that?
-
@obsidianspider flying into walls. No real damage but you can shoot around this way.
-
213900
It's really hard to keep track of everything whizzing around.
-
I managed 266700, but always die at roughly the same place. It's where two medium sized planes come up behind you and there's a boat in front.
I lose a lot of energy there every time, even if I remember to use my smart bomb!
Enjoying the challenge though!

Hi guys,
here's the overlay.
Quite time consuming; it took extra time to recreate also a vector version of the game logo, but I'm really pleased with the result.
All original arcade game flyer based graphics, including instructions.Volunteers wanted for testing and screenshot ;-)
Files available in the Overlay Repo.

@UDb23 Thanks for another great overlay! It looks really nice on my TV.
-
@obsidianspider thanks for testing !
-
@UDb23 I'm not well versed in Github so my idea of right click on the file names to try to save them didn't work. (I ended up saving files that had HTML in them.) I had to go to each one, open it manually and put them in files on my computer. I'm sure there's a better way to manually get files from Github, but I havnen't messed with it enough.
-
When you're in In the main folder (where you see all game subfolders), there's a green download button. Unfortunately that will download all overlays.
Why don't you use @meleu 's script ? -
@UDb23 I broke my Super Famicom last week through an update and it took me something like 20 hours to fix. I didn't want to accidentally do it again through my own ignorance this week. I figured testing the overlay on my 65" TV would be more impressive than with my test Genesis hub Pi that's hooked up to a 24" TV. ;)
-
@obsidianspider sorry for the famicon.. yeah updates can hurt !
Manual install of Overlays is safer :-)) -
@obsidianspider said in MAME ROW #24:
I'm sure there's a better way to manually get files from Github,
When you "open" a file in github there's an option named "RAW" on top left. Search for it and you'll get what you want. ;)
-
Will there be a MAME ROW #25? @meleu, do you want me to create the post?
-
@obsidianspider it would be nice. Really thanks dude!
-
@meleu I'm on it! Good timing as this is my lunch hour.
-
MAME ROW #25 is live!
