@obsidianspider No problem. :)
BTW they aren't hentai, they're actual girls. -
@meleu Good point.

I've removed Magix from the consideration.
Too late! Look what you did:
-
This week's unanimous winner is Captain Commando!
-
When I read the game list, I thought we were playing Captain Fantastic, the pinball game
-
OK, this game is awesome.
I'm playing as a baby… in a mech suit… in another mech suit.
-
@obsidianspider this reminded me the encapsulation concept when I was studying TCP/IP protocol stack. :-)
-
@obsidianspider I might actually play this week. That sounds awesome
-
I forgot this game is basically a different version of Final Fight haha. Still fun though. Just beat it, which isn't too hard considering we all have unlimited "coins" haha. Should have kept track of how many "continues" I used, but I don't think it was a ton. Anyway, my high score was 157,259. Trying to get a picture of it, but it literally stays at the top of the hi-score thing for a second before scrolling down. Anyone beat my score yet?
-
@BGallagherLA while the point of MAME ROW is to try new games, high scores being posted are on one credit, not unlimited, and should have a screen shot. Yes, it's on the honor system, but it's about having fun. There are no prizes.
-
I didn't think there were prizes. Just thought it was people posting high scores. The above rules didn't specify one credit, but I suppose that makes sense. Apologies.
-
There are no prizes.
You're forgetting the respect and admiration that accompanies a MAME ROW victory. Not to mention the groupies.

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll be sure to update the written rules for next week. It's been "known" for a while, but we can't assume everyone has been involved each week.

This isn't a strict rule, but the number of groupies screaming your name and throwing their panties at you decreases if you use more than one credit.
There's no problem at all in using several credits, but you need to mention it. The "issue" here is that Captain Commando keeps your score after a continue, but this doesn't happen in every game (fortunately).
@obsidianspider if you'll write something about that in the "rules", I think it should be something like this:
We usually post hi-scores screenshots after playing with only one credit. If you used more than one credit, please mention it on your post.
-
@meleu Done! (Please don't throw your panties at me)

I read in the rules that if it's more than 5 credits it's actually just an old person throwing dirty underwear at you.
Anyway, I might end up trying this one out this week. :) Fingers crossed!

That depends!

@backstander I assure you, it's unfortunately no fantasie.
-
Like @BGallagherLA I decided to award myself unlimited credits to play this game through to the end.
I especially liked the end of level boss DOPPEL - nice idea!
Reminded me very much of Streets of Rage 2 on the Megadrive/Genesis. a very enjoyable game, but pretty difficult.
Like all these games it suffers a bit from having nothing really new after the first few levels, apart from the bosses. Which makes sense, there's no point in having lots of new enemies/weapons later on when the majority of players in the arcade won't ever see them.
My high score on unlimited credits? A whopping 171,451!
I'll try and get a single credit score at some point over the weekend.
-
I've played with one credit. I really like the Captain flame thrower (dash-jump-atack), but I play better with the Mummy. Reached the boss at level 2 and game over. I can't renember the score but I've got the 46th place on the ranking (really suck, huh?).
BTW: I think that the Baby and Mummy characters were created with an intentional pun in mind. What do you guys think?
