Deteacher Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Set lives for 3-5. The default is 2-4, which only gives you 2 starting lives. 3-5 gives you 3 starting lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE - MAME has screwed up the DIP switch settings for this game in some or all of the MAME versions so that HARD is actually easy and EASY is hard. You can tell which you are playing by the amount of rocks that spawn at the start of the first level, 4 rocks = EASY, 6 rocks = HARD. I assume we'll be playing on EASY so everyone make sure you have four rocks on the first level. (or you'll get you're ass handed to you pretty quick ) My first score 33,690 Edited November 3, 2013 by kane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This game is really tough to me. My record on regular Asteroids isn`t even past the 40k mark. I would be happy to get 30k this week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Damn, I had a score over 36K, but never posted it. Would have won the week. Things just get busy and stuff gets put on the back burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
