Centipede (timed)

I would like to propose that this particular title be played as a timed game as opposed to "regular" centipede style. It seems an obvious choice as that is the special feature for this game. To promote fast and furious games, I suggest either the 2 minute or 3 minute mode for this one. Comments?

btw, are there playback problems associated with this? I don't recall problems with Centipede and its clones in the past.

I suggest a three minute time span.
Not able to playback diabolik's 32000.

Ok, I have now deleted my recording (forgot to do it the first time we discussed about this game). Yes, I agree that we should have some special rules for this game, 3 minutes sounds good to me.

tar, please read this before submitting a recording for this game, seems that mame0.62 has some problems playbacking recordings for centtime(maybe all centipede games):

I'm fine with the 3-minute format, also. Now if we could just get a special rules addition for this game stating that there is a time limit involved, we'll be all set to go. We could take this to a poll, but I'm not so sure that this issue is all that controversial and I don't think MARP has that many players interested in the first place. I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :wink:
