NO UFO Hunting -


PLEASE DON'T ABUSE BUGS IN THE GAMES! Many Atari games have loopholes that allow you to easily get huge amounts of points without much work (An example of such "Point Scumming": in Asteroids, you can eliminate all but one small asteroid, and then "hunt" UFO's without the level ending), or finish the game while skipping a lot of the actual content (For example, using the X-Ray cheat in Superman to prevent the bridge from exploding). Not only do these result in somewhat bogus high scores, but it ruins the fun and challenge of the game in the process.




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 butt handed to you pretty quick.
