Xevious

Mahlemiut!

Interesting Xevious bug trick! Racking up over million points at the start up screen. Where the world you find the that bug trick from RMP?

I think that Xevious and Battles inp should be move to Easter Egg/Bug trick page. Otherwise everybody will expose the bug trick. I wish that I could've done that bug trick back the old arcade days.

I think the trick should be banned, cause it wouldn't be unfair to other Japanese MARPers who submit older Xevious and clones inps without the start up bug trick before everybody will marathon that game with the bug trick.

There was another interesting scoring bug trick on Super Xevious from other Japanese Inp web site. I can't remember where the inp came from (Afterburner? Eclispe?)!

Mahlemiut! Thanks for sharing the new interesting Xevious bug trick.

Later,

Notman

The original inp was posted at Zek's
http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~zekzek/repl ... ays_z.html (look for RMP's Xevious inp dated 2005/06/02)

He managed to get past the inital wall somehow... which makes for an interesting watch for a couple of minutes

And I only played Battles to see if WRX2 had a 12-month old inp in their replay vault.

Barry, I understood the post of Notman saying that he thinks your trick is illegal/not fair at marp, gaining points/ships by using bug in the game...or not intended game feature -and therefore should be deleted/moved at tips tricks page?

I agree....it shouldn't be allowed.

There are gamers who can reach 1 million without using the trick.

The game starts awarding an extra ship every hit once very close to 1 million anyway if I remember it correctly.

...maybe not...it's been a while.

The game loops....it's almost totally patterned. When you watch one of the million point ones you see it's just a matter of learning the loop. There are a couple really hard spots in the game where even they lose a handful of ships...but then they loop back around to that same area without losing any ships so have built their extra ships back up.

Ok, watched the inps by Mahlemiut and JTC...Very funny indeed.

This is how you perform the trick: Immediately after demo screen Xevious title turns into yellowi: insert credit and press start quickly...you get "xevious" floating in your direction, shoot it and get around 1M points and 20 ships.

I trust Barry to remove hes and JTC's inps where they belong, and while at it you could make special rules for Xevious, something like:

Code: Select all

This stunt is performed by highly skilled? professionals: Do not try to recreate or re-enact...

Thanks, I guess...

Wonder if this is only mame bug, didn't see anyone ever do that at arcades. [/code]

I'm still waiting on WRX2's response - they must have something in their replay vault that they've holding onto for the past 18 months.
