New round coming?
Hello.
I am sorry for the delay, give me a couple hours, I have been really busy lately.
-
Thanks Leto. Can we get a ROM for Mario Bros as well?
Edit: I'm going to root around in my old computer for a ROM I had. It seems to have completely disappeared and I don't recall ever deleting it. Does Nintendo have so much power they can actually reach into your hard drive and pull their product out of it?
Ready, the ROM is available, enjoy

Leto, dude, can you give us any pointers, tricks of the trade, general life advice, Cliff's Notes or something on how to succeed even nominally at this game? It still won't necessarily mean we'll use them to win, but at the very least save some of us complete embarrassment.
In Galaga 88 I always choose to start with the dual ship and when the first ship with the attraction beam approach I get into the beam, so after I recover the dual ship it becomes a large ship with 3 beam arrays, this helps a lot in the bonus stages.
Now for U.N. squadron, there 3 options of pilots: Shin has more energy but lesser effective power, Mick has the most powerful shot but has less energy than the others, Gregg is in the middle but has a two direction shot that becomes very handy in the 3rd and 4th stages.
Eliminate as many enemies as you can, because you will need the money that you get from them.
If you get hit to avoid a second hit in the first seconds because you will die even if you have full energy.
The first enemy is pretty easy, so always avoid to buy anything in the first stage.
for the second enemy, I recommend the large homing missile.
Always try to buy the most expensive weapon and if you can extra energy

Strictly speaking, it's not the ability to spam unlimited virtual credits into a home MAME machine that is my complaint; it's the ability to continue a game indefinitely by doing so. I realize you can artificially limit yourself to strictly 1-credit plays, and that helps my enjoyment factor of a lot of such games, but it doesn't completely fix the problem for me. Reason being, single credit or not, the fact remains that at some point the paradigm shifted and game designers started to take it for granted that players would gladly pay more money to continue a game, so the design of the games started to reflect that assumption by ensuring your death at regular intervals with ridiculously cheap hits, hopelessly unfair boss fights, etc.
Besides that, the ability to "continue" was not a thing, at least not a common thing, until the mid-late 80s. That means there are tons of games to play from before that time where you couldn't activate a continue function even if you wanted to; and, perhaps more importantly, the gameplay is designed with that in mind. DK, Robotron, and Pac-Man are some high profile examples that come to mind immediately and there are lots of obscure, lesser-known titles as well that are great. Even though I was too young to appreciate those games as a kid, being too busy with the likes of TMNT and Simpsons, those older ones are the games I gravitate toward now because, despite their primitive graphics, I just find them so much more rich and nuanced than the multi-player, post-Final-Fight button-mashers that took over in the 90s.
But there's no accounting for taste... people like what they like, and that's cool.
As a Kid I was limited to play just two credits at the arcades per day, because my parents says that I already have an Atari 2600 and a Colecovision, so I have to maximixed every credit, thats what helps me to vastly improve in various arcades games and what put me away of games like gauntlet where your energy is depleted as the time pass
