Arcade difficulty settings.
---------------------------
Lost Tomb (Stern) Diff: Start: 3 Explorers.
Banned Trick.
It is possible to stay in a corner and play forever.
I found this place.
Immune to pellets ,
but vulnerable to bats.
5X value if you can nail them.

skito , start practicing.
i got 118,000 yesterday.
not going to forget to play until you 120,000 is reached.
when the brown bats appear, it seems i lose alot of lives all at once near the end of my game. makes me pretty mad too

i watched it this morning closely at 100%.

you made it to the orange & green people.

you had a good supply of whips until room 16.

blue bats and blue people are rough to fight .

now i need to practice + learned some things from looking at your recording.

cool, i look forward to seeing your LOST TOMB training inps. This game has a serious steep ramp of difficulty that continues to get more difficult, I would doubt there is any game that has a ramp this steep and such a olong way to go to the end. the other one i was thinking of, (with a seriously tame ramp of difficulty) and i think really should be a strict clone of this game, is SUPER BOND.

the game interface is different though the game play and a few sprites are identical. I wonder why this isn't a true mame parrent/clone relationship. mamedev?

thank you mucho, but there's much work to be done there, i think i tried once to finish the pyramid on unlimited credits and it was still impossible for me. take a break from the terranean urge and keep trying to beat me. there must be a way to find the secret of the pyramid.

i played the easy game yesterday and got 100,000.
run out of whips
repeat kills makes one frustraited.

i like the game - simple game pad works.
20 years ago , we had a lost tomb in town.
made from a scramble or super cobra machine .

took a week of inconsistant practice
used win 80 because the throttle , F10 does not work on wolf or alphamame while recording.
TJT is neck in neck with diabolik.
the new leaderboard was not very nice to SJV.
bunch of 2nd and 3rd places.

Yeps, but it was fair for me...

One day I'm 9th, other day 10th...Not submitting anything, stop jumping around me Diabolik :)

Just watched Alien vs Predator movie, would like to compare it to the battle between TJT and SJV, but won't. Don't know who won in the end...
