Max_Mad Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=2...541&vi=5226 Above is the link to Twin Galaxies. The "official" rules are 3 lives at normal difficulty. (However, I am still okay with two lives) Check out the first place score.....ridiculous. I'm not sure I would want to play a game as long as it must take to get that kind of a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Here are the dip switch settings that I have been using. I'm pretty sure these are the default. I've never played it before. It's possible different versions of MAME have different defaults. I'm using MAME OS X, which is Version 0.124 of MAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've never played 1942 in MAME before, so after I downloaded, installed and ran it, the settings were for 2 lives and normal difficulty. Since there really isn't another way I know of to tell what the default settings are, I'm going to go with that as the default settings. 2 lives Normal difficulty Bonus lives at 20K, 80K and 80K+ Seems like most everyone went with those settings anyway. Sorry for the confusion. In future weeks, I'll be more specific about the default settings. Expect to see everything updated sometime this morning. I got snow day today.

Blackjack Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ok, I'm in. Great to see HSC going for mame! I gotta make some room on my desk for my control panel (slik stik), cause playing this game with the keyboard just stinks. Starting out at 50,610 And hey..... remind me which key takes a screenshot in mame32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Feel's a lot better with the control panel.... 170,020 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 51440 (with a keyboard....at work) I will try at home on my mame. BTW: when it start, it said ''last 32 stage'' then you finish the stage, land on the boat and it said again ''last 31 stages'' I always wandering what's going on at the end ''last stage 1'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I think you flight over a city, and after the last stage, the game ends with a message in the lines of 'we give up, you are too good at this' or something like that. I only saw the cities once. Edited March 4, 2009 by Osbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw the cities once. Please tell me that when you saw that city stage it was somebody else playing or you continued a lot. Why do I get the feeling your going to submit a seriously high score any minute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 19,020 Playing with 2 lives this time. Oh, and a piece of advice... two actually: 1. Your loop-de-loops aren't just there for effect. They can protect you from being a fallen hero of WWII! 2. Don't stay too close to the bottom. While crashing your plane into the large ones will result in their instant destruction, you are NOT a kamikaze pilot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think I'm getting worse. I can't top the score I got on the first game when I hooked up my control panel. I get close, but always manage to choke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Scores have been updated and are current as of this post. Sorry for the lag, folks. In spite of the snow day, work from home had me tied up. It's my busy season, but enough excuses. I'll do better to keep things updated. Still have to add up the point totals, which I'll get to asap. Otherwise, glad to see everyone enjoying the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osbo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 This game is so hard to play with the keyboard, that I fell like smashing the laptop against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Mad Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 This game is so hard to play with the keyboard, that I fell like smashing the laptop against the wall. Boy do I hear that. Sometimes playing these old games (especially with a keyboard) makes me get mad like when I was a kid. Thankfully, nobody is around to witness my infinite rage. That would just be embarrassing.
