Moonwalker is a load of WTH. Michael Jackson was an icon when I was growing up, but I haven't really thought about him for more than a decade so it's a huge nostalgia blast. I like the gfx/sfx & gameplay a lot, even if the whole game is just a one big ego-trip, and the kids shouting "Thank you, Michael!" might seem a bit odd these days.

 

Understatement of the year.

[MAME HSC ROUND 7/10 - Eggs / MJ's Moonwalker]

Eggs 36,210.

[Season 10 ~ Week 23 ~ Beat The Leaders 2]

14,620. This is the best I'm going to do. At least I beat my even more pathetic previous PB.

[Season 10 ~ Week 22 ~ Beat The Leaders]

20,742. Probably the best I'm going to do. Wish I could have dedicated more time to this game because it's fantastic. I really hope we get more Imagic games next season rather than Activision.

[Season 10 ~ Week 21 ~ Astroblast]

Astroblast 22,475. That's as good as I'm going to do. God, I hate video games that take your score away.

[MAME HSC - ROUND 6/10 - Colony 7 / DoDonPachi]

Colony 7: 77,425.

DoDonPachi: 4,265,750. Wouldn't normally post scores two days in a row but I'm really proud I made it on the board.

[MAME HSC - ROUND 6/10 - Colony 7 / DoDonPachi]

DoDonPachi: 3,394,060.  Preferred ship is the top option with laser shot.

Colony 7: 24450.

Welcome to the second half of the season.  

 

A note regarding Colony 7: when you're crediting up to play, it will ask you if you'd like to "add additional credit for more firepower" or something to that effect.  Let's go ahead and allow the "more firepower" setting to make sure nobody uses it accidentally.  

 

Game on

Not sure I understand. Does this mean we add the additional credit for more firepower or do we not?

Oh I'm not done with you Tumblepop. Now it's personal (which is to say that it's no longer within the boundaries of this competition and therefore no one will care). 

[MAME HSC - MID-SEASON REDEMPTION ROUND]

Tumblepop 198,500.

The Speed Rumbler 36,400.

Figured I should post these now as I may not have a chance tomorrow.

[Season 10 ~ Week 21 ~ Astroblast]

Astroblast 21,595.

[Season 10 ~ Week 20 ~ Circus Atari]

Warlords Game 14 Bonus: 9.

[Season 10 ~ Week 20 ~ Circus Atari]

Circus Atari 380.

[Season 10 ~ Week 21 ~ Astroblast]

Astroblast 6,625. 12,030. Did you really think I was going to settle for my lowly four-digit score when some of you maniacs are already scoring so high? Not tonight Uncle Fritz -- not tonight.

 

[Would it be too much to ask...]

...for the Harmony Cart order page to provide a dead-simple interface including a.) the various configurations of the cart and what they mean and b.) how much they cost? I shouldn't have to scour this forum looking for this information when it should be right there.

While I should be focusing on the ones I kinda stunk at, I've been trying to push to the end on Tumble Pop and Devil World.    I do plan on improving that Twin Cobra score, though.  I know I can do much better than that.

I'm doing the same thing. I really don't think I'm going to get any better at Captain America or Renegade anyway, so I'd rather improve my score in games I actually enjoy and show promise at).

[MAME HSC - MID-SEASON REDEMPTION ROUND]

Tumble Pop 184,400.

[Season 10 ~ Weeks 18/19 ~ Hot HomeBrews]

Ms. Galaptopus 18,250.

[MAME HSC - MID-SEASON REDEMPTION ROUND]

Rainbow Islands 335,400. Finally beat my RI score, albeit not by much. I still find beating the boss spider more a matter of luck than anything. Good news is I can pretty much do the first four levels in my sleep now. 

[MAME HSC - ROUND 5/10 - MID-SEASON QUADRUPLE HEADER]

Eyes 248,570. Thanks to Cynicaster (even if I didn't beat his score) for giving me an unintentional last-minute push to improve my score 

[Season 10 ~ Weeks 18/19 ~ Hot HomeBrews]

City Defence 8,540.

[MAME HSC - ROUND 5/10 - MID-SEASON QUADRUPLE HEADER]

Rush 'n Attack 52,650.

[Season 10 ~ Weeks 18/19 ~ Hot HomeBrews]

Ms. Galactopus 9,115.

[Season 10 ~ Weeks 18/19 ~ Hot HomeBrews]

City Defence 7,200.

[MAME HSC - ROUND 5/10 - MID-SEASON QUADRUPLE HEADER]

Star Castle 5,140. It's an acquired taste for sure, but I'm starting to moderately enjoy this game. I'm still not sure what causes the red shield to regenerate though.
