Deteacher Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) This game is similar to Time Pilot and Sinistar in that your ship stays in the center of the screen. During flight, you must avoid stationary asteroids and mines. As you progress in levels, the green hexagonal enemy space stations begin to shoot missiles from their cores. When under enemy bases, enemy fighters can change direction at will. The game features synthesized voice messages: "Blast Off!" (start of round), "Alert! Alert!" (enemy ships approaching), "Battle stations!" (enemy formation attack), "Spy ship sighted" (green triangular bonus enemy), and "Condition Red!" (time-per level exceeded, enemy frenzy). NOTE: The ROM version is listed as Bosconian New Version. I'm not sure what the difference is: Game Information: Game Name: Bosconian Released By: Namco, 1981 Game Mode: Default settings MAME ROMset: Bosco Chosen By: Max_Mad ROM Location: http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/55546/ma...ew-version.html Post your scores in this thread and I will update the leaderboard throughout the week.

Deteacher Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I want to apologize to everyone (again) for not having stuff updated. Being a teacher, this is my wicked busy season, with a lot of "end of year" stuff going on. I want to thank Aftermac for updating all the scores and sending them to me. He did that all voluntarily and I am so appreciative for his efforts. The current scores are up at the beginning of this thread. As I have time, I'll put in the previous weeks. But now, I have to get ready to go to school to work on set construction for our play. Enjoy this week's game!

Lauren Tyler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I always thought the 'Condition Red' occurred if you let a spy ship get away. Maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I always thought the 'Condition Red' occurred if you let a spy ship get away. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not really sure. I just copied that info from KLOV. I don't have enough experience with the game (translation: "I suck at it") to really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 49,460 Maybe the reason they call this the 'New' version is because it has new level layouts in comparison to the ones on the Namco Museum games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 hmm, MacMAME needs 51xx.bin and 52xx.bin and I haven't been able to track them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah, the latest version of MAMEUI needs them too, but I can't find them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) OK, here's my best so far... 59850. Somehow this game reminds me of the song "Just dropped in (to see what condition my condition was in)" by Kenny Rogers (because of the condition indicator).

Max_Mad Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 198,810 Been a while since I've played this one. Great little game. If that had been around the local arcades when I was a kid I would have lost a lot of quarters to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxd Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 53730 Damn as many quarters as I pumped in to this game when it came out I should do way better than this. I have to play some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I'm not like trying to stir up anything... But what's with the delay on the closing date and the initial post for the next weeks game? Sundays are really the only day I can spend any decent time playing the game and half the time it's not even posted.... With the closeout time being noon from the day before, that just seems like a rather large gap. Just asking because it's making it hard for little 'ol me to participate.

+SpiceWare Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe the next game could be posted on Friday even though the current game wraps up on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
