bigbee99 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Sky Kid [New Ver.] Sky Kid is a horizontal scrolling shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1985. It runs on Namco Pac-Land hardware but with a video system like that used in Dragon Buster. It is also the first game from Namco to allow 2 players to play simultaneously. The game was later released on the Famicom (brought to the American NES by Sunsoft), and both this version and the original arcade version were later released on Nintendo's Virtual Console service -Wikipedia Game Information Game Name: Sky Kids Released By: Namco, 1985 MAME ROMset: SkyKid Dip Switches: Lives: 3, Bonus Life: 30k and 90k Chosen By: acelkin ROM Location: http://romhustler.ne...sky-kid-new-ver AtariAge Arcade/MAME HSC Record: n/a Competition ends Sunday, Feb 5 @ 12PM EST Leaderboard 142,880 - M.A.M.E Offender 138,090 - bigbee99 121,810 - Cynicaster 88,360 - acelkin 63,330 - patbb 44,780 - roadrunner 35,940 - kane 29,170 - LarcenTyler Season Standings Calculations through round 19 1.

bigbee99 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm not sure how this is going to work but I am gonna go a head and move forward with the next week of HSC.

bigbee99 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 44,780 Good game, glad it got picked. I honestly did not give this one a try until tongiht. Cool little game. Since I don't know exactly where Rob left off on the selecting I just chose the guy with the least games selected and rolled a Six Sided die to choose the game. I usually have all kinds of dice around my desk since I us them playing cards a lot Acelkin was low man on the totem poll since he came in so late.

M.A.M.E Offender Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I still haven't beaten the 7th, but my kills were high so I managed this score: 142,880 Let's see if Cyn or the BMan can clip me right at the end....2 hours 40minutes to go....

I actually got to the 9th level with that last score I posted. Unfortunately, I was playing after getting home from the bar and couldn't hit the bomb targets for the bonus to save my life. Very cool game though; played this on the NES back in the 80's but completely forgot about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well lunch got in the way on game time but everything has now been calculated and the next round is up.
