I swear that yellow tabby looks just like my cat Charlie...anyway, let's talk about games again. Spy Hunter 1983 Bally / Midway.http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/1/8/0/bb ... mame62.zip Have you guys seen this ? Magnificent! Plus since this one requires a gas pedal for accurate speed control , near impossible! Just downloaded it.
Okay Satans Hollow 1981 Bally/Midway
(Set 1) score is 232,325 {BBH} Wow! about 4x what i can get with twice that amount of ships to start.
(Set 2) score is 238,930 {BBH} double Wow! How in the world!? I,m good for about 40k thats all.
Gorf Bally / Midway 1981 I remember when this one came to town over twenty years ago , it cost .50 to play one credit(3 ships). 1.00 for 2 credits(6 ships) Add the current rate of inflation and that would be about 3.00 for (6 ships) or .50 per ship today

Another , Galaga Namco 1981 / I Remember a machine that would allow you to dock a third ship to create a triangle formation. Petty cool , right? One more Solar Fox 1981 Bally Midway. Someone at Marp broke a million on it. Not easy at all

thanks for the kudos. the funny thing is that my Satan's Hollow (set 1) score is one of my old recordings on MARP... it was the second thing I ever submitted to the site. the first being a one-credit finish on Black Tiger, which Krool ended up beating my score on in less than 24 hours. So I ended up looking for something else to play, found Satan's Hollow, and figured I could try to beat Rodimus Prime's score. I figured someone would come along later and smash that score, but it's stood there for 5 years... I guess players like the ones in the TG book that have Satan's Hollow mastered are rare. :) (TG record is/was 43 million)

Spy Hunter is fun, but awfully frustrating sometimes. I was playing it a lot back in December for some reason. I managed to find a button layout for my pad that worked pretty well, but the control is still too sensitive in that game. I need more experience with the arcade controls... apparently Pat Laffaye is pretty good at it. :)
