Moon Patrol
Player drives a moon buggy jumping over craters, rocks and land mines, shooting simultaneously at rocks in front and aliens above while dodging their missiles. Features very catchy background music and cute bouncing tires when the buggy is destroyed. Foreground and background terrain scroll at different rates giving the illusion of depth.

Oy, it seems like just yesterday that I played Moon Patrol over & over on BYOAC: http://forum.arcadec...?topic=110597.0

I got 83,640.  Just shy of the 85,280 that multiple plays netted me on BYOAC.  That's close enough--I probably can't do any better...  

Thanks,
-Jason

Good job.

Like I figured, I got thru the beginner course.

The champion course is a different story altogether.  More enemies and more timely jumps....

[M.A.M.E Offender]

Bring on the Memorial Day Tournament!!  I'm geeked for the beginning of this one!!  

I can't wait to see if someone can get to level 10 on Missile Command.  That game gets insanely tough after level 4.

Where did you take your room?
Last year I went to the Half Moon Motel.

The Birch Knoll.

Maybe we can generate some interest in a "Funspot After Hours" gaming party.

I just rolled into second place, for now......
