Luja's 5M 1-life clear records here at MARP are very good. Currently I can clear 2.6M before reaching the Lesser Demon- but at the moment, this is unfortunately the place where I bite the dust. On AIVA's record list, the scores for Light Bringer/Dungeon Magic are totally nuts. They're in the 16,000,...

I had done an inp for Twin Qix recently, and Mahlemiut mentioned the speed was around 92.7%. This one was made with WolfMAME 102. What I tried today was to turn off the VSync and use just the Triple Buffering instead. After doing this I noticed the game running without the slowdown (no choppy sound ...

Assault (and probalby more games) is small 'exception'. Assault have 2 fire buttons. IIRC it does. I remember it having one trigger on each stick (at least the Atari Games dedicated upright cabinet that came out in the US). http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/mudhouse/176/pics.htm Here's part of some...

I just checked this replay out and it's quite weird.

That run was a darn good one up to that point. Losing the game like this would be a real bummer especially if you had it happen later on.

Data East should've made the Extra Stage club not be able to hit anything.

GOOD NEWS: I finished level 8, finally . BAD NEWS: Unfortunately, the last level used some credit feeding (ugh)- so there won't be a new recording yet. :( Hopefully, it won't be much longer until I can get a one credit clear. If you have about 110 bullets when you're at the elevator then the odds ar...

BBH & Mahlemiut- Thanks for the heads up on WolfMAME also reading regular MAMEPlus inps, as well as the link to that mog-rep site with the older versions. :) Now that I've seen the other replay, it is good but the score is kind of low - around 400K or something. On Gemant's site, I see a high sc...

Thanks, zlk. :) I got the first one to playback using MAME 32 0.36. Though the player does screw up a couple times, it's a nice all clear replay with the player having a decent number of bullets left to blow the final boss away. Beating him looks a lot easier than it does on the Genesis version once...

I've gotten to the final round of Rolling Thunder 2 and have made it up the elevator. Unfortunately there are not enough bullets to kill all enemies in the stage. Even if I try to hoard bullets by sparing some enemies during the level, I still end up with none left by the level's end- leaving me stu...

I still can't figure out which shooter it was where the two guys in trenchcoats are floating around in space holding an alien baby-looking thing between them. After you shoot them for awhile the men go away and the baby is left on it's own. I thought for sure in was one of the Strikers 1945 games, ...

Yes, as far as I am aware, Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition is the most recent CPS-2 game released in early 2004. Is it only for home consoles? This "special" version was not released to Arcade... is it? I think the arcade version may have had a limited release. The Japane...

I think the PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox would be a bigger rival to the present-day arcades than MAME. Yes... in this phrase you said ALL. :) The Saturn version is very easy too, with stupid CPU AI. I recently bought the Dreamcast version (SSF2X:For Matching Service), played a bit, and the difficulty he...

Most arcades charged 40c for SF2 (2 coins/1 credit) But prices for newer games kept going up. $1 for SSF2T not long after its initial release (around April or May '94, from memory) Any pinball with a dot matrix display was $1. I even remember seeing a Daytona USA cabinet set to $2/credit. 50c for S...

I've always wanted one of those 3-monitor Ninja Warriors/Darius cabs myself, but I'd have no room for it. Sixty cents a game of SFII? That is a bit much. One arcade in a mall near me was charging $1.00 US for Super Street Fighter II. While the game took two tokens, the tokens were priced at 50 cents...

Plot out Donkey Kongs earnings on a chart, and you'll see that as soon as the colecovision came out, that game didn't earn as much in the arcade. And colecovision wasn't even that good a port, really. Not one home version of it really was close. Both the NES and Coleco versions lacked a level. Fran...

This is sad to hear. My condolences to his family and to all who knew him.
