Firstly, thanx Chad for testing the inp's.....
<p>
It seems that most of the scores on Psycho-Nics Oscar and clones are only there because you can't die on the earlier versions of mame.
<p>
The only way you can die is by falling down a chasm, apart from that u are invincible....
<p>
Can we get the current scores removed ??????
<p>
The only scores that seem to work are the ones that me and QRS submitted with the latest version of mame.
<p>
This is a very difficuly game, I would love to see someone finish this without cheating...
<p>
Anyway, i'm off to work on it...
<p>
Thanx in advance.......

For the record , I didn`t cheat. In fact I wasn`t even aware of that
scenario with earlier MAME versions. I used Win36 Beta 11 for both of
my recordings,and both of which were confirmed by 'ceh' ( Chad, I
think ).
So I can`t see my recordings being removed , unless you`re referring
to other scores maybe, GG ?
Yes, it is s tough game. Wait until you try levels 7 + 8. They`re the
pits.
Maybe Lagavulin has something to say about this topic also, as he
currently holds top score having completed the whole game.
<p>
Gotta get back to work...

the invulnerability only appears to be in mame36 FINAL versions
including win36. i believe MOST versions before the final are ok, i
haven't checked all the recorindgs but it appears that just the ones i
played and saw recording on win36 or mame36 were always invulnerable.

Guess what ?
<p>
With all this talk of P/N Oscar, I has a game earlier using the
latest MAME version I have ( i.e Win36 Final ). I recorded, and I was
invincible ! So I guess Game Guru..et al are probably correct. But my
INP using Win36 Beta 11 is legit. This obviously is a version that
plays OK.

I agree, any recordings done on MAME 0.36 final (i.e. Lagavulin's)
should be deleted. I don't want this to be a slam towards Lagavulin's
skills, but it's pretty obvious that he doesn't know the game that
well. I would think that someone who could finish the game on one
credit wouldn't fall into that pit on Level 3...
<p>
again, this is not an insult because I'm not too familiar with the
game either. But watching that recording, I didn't get the feeling I
was watching someone that actually KNEW the game. Feel free to prove
me wrong by uploading a recording on a version with proper collision
detection...

What a clever detective you are, Sherlock BBH ... It was really hard
to guess it was my first and only credit with that game.
In case others didnt' realize, of course I was invincible and of
course my inps should be deleted...
