I don't know this game (and I don't own this arcade machine

). Maybe I'll buy it tomorrow.

Well... let's see if I know how to play this game, and if my time (mainly the next weekend) will be enough to do a "sane" score here.

See you!

Yes, it is true... but the 1st "PRIZE" is mine this week!

My main play-days were the 1st night and the last 2 nights, and I was without Internet at home between this days

Congratulations for your 7+3 points!

And... where was Ace13 to help me???

Excellent challenge, Des!

Very very nice fight at the end this time !!!!
This round remembers me the good old time of last-time-submission-fights in the old tourneys

2nd victory in a row on Destructor, and on 2 very different games : impressive ;
wcc4 will probably be for Des, but for future tourneys he has a really serious new opponent, for sure

One word more:
This game is possible to finish on 1 credit, totally patterned.

I play about 2 hours before last day. In last day (yesterday) I play more - about 8 hours, found some good patterns, but too late.

Congrats TRB.

hMMMM... yes... I will try to finish this game 1-credit-completition. I think Destructor too.

Well, just now I am at work, but I wanna post some comments about PASS game. Coming soon.

Des, how many stages? Like I said, never passed the stage 24, however I only played this stage in the WCC4 1st day. Of course is possible, but I need to discover the technique too.

See you!

Game has 33 stages. I maybe will try to finish this game but after WCC.

Yep... it is just 2005!!! Like promissed, I will play the games PASS and ECO FIGHTERS to try finish 1CC it... but I know me a lot... and I ever select other games to play before, and a lot of wishes are staying in background. But if I said, I do. Detructor... feel free to ask me about it in the future

About PASS, some comments (DES, I don't watched your current record INP, so it is regarding the WCC4 inputs only...) :

1 - Like our chat, I think my patterns are better than your, due the maximization of the rounds. Like you said... "maximum scores / minimum stages"... like you said Sawys use this "style" in many games.

2 - The most important tip to do high scores is the WARPs (well... I used this name), due the high "time remaining bonus" and minimizating the risk of deaths and the risk of staying with some parts of the scenario with "unreachable".

2.1 - Stages I already succeeded warp: 13, 14, 15, 16, 20 (maybe more eventual rounds, near the final rounds). In my 1842100 record: stages 14 and 20. In my 2nd best (1837600, uploaded): stages 13 and 14.

2.2 - Destructor, do you know how exactly we can get the warp? In the most part is when I collect the BOMB and soon collect the FLAG, mainly when the time counter is higher than 87 (my best warp is 91 or 90). Is possible dont be between the 87~91 and get the warp, for sampl in my 1842100 input I was time 74 and get warp in stage 20. Other stages too. Sometimes, I am into the requirement, and dont get the warp. Do you know the exact requiriment? PS.: Maybe it is due the fact the flag is RANDOM... so the warp can be RANDOM too.

3 - Other important thing is the luck factor do receive a "time up" bonus at the random flags... it increase 10 seconds... so it is a 10,000 bonus at the final of the stage. Of course... to have the luck to receive and "invencibility" at the flags is very important to "save" the stage in the last stages, due the higher difficulty in these rounds.

4 - Is possible to get 2x "P" ("Player Up"... collect 3 to extra life) in the stage 1. See this input: pass-1455800-st16-St1=2Ps_TRB.inp .

Bye.
