Re: MAME 0.245 Game Changes

Seems a bit complicated. In principle a time-run-clone would be cool... makes entirely different game play. My idea: -Play normally, but NO BUMPER LEECHING at Pinball . ...That should take some score off And if that's not enough not to max out the score... -Add 1000 points each second left when ente...

Re: MAME 0.245 Game Changes

Please consider changing the rules for marble madness 2. or adding restrictions Currently - there is unlimited turbo - also there are too many powerups (might want to limit their use) - every 5000 points gives you 5 extra seconds, making it easy to finish Hi, some thoughts... Just found out yesterd...

Re: Battle Beyond The Stars the arcade game

Why would they drag the game all the way to downunder for prototype test? In any case I just wanted to say that it can't be much worse than the movie which was pretty terrible Star Wars ripoff (despite cool promo poster)... https://wearesecondunion.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BBTS-750X429.jpg Wik...

Re: Arcade 1up - Star Wars!

Yeah, I'll probably stay in Helsinki. Have to move because of plumbing renovations. Doh. It looks to me from pics that you can't make the sit-down cab a stand-up one. I'd prefer the stand-up version as well... and noticed that it goes at Amazon for USD 415 or so. Plus the shipment which I think woul...

Re: Arcade 1up - Star Wars!

Wow. Thanks for the info Al! :) Sorry for the late reply, I had some password problems logging into forums and missed your post. But yeah, I'll definitely get one of these babies. I'm moving in couple months so probably after that. Looks like I'll have to order one from USA, shipment costs a bit etc...

Zwaxy = Chris Moore, maybe he could be found on social media or such?

Re: Must see recordings

For me it would have to be Gavin Ward's Marble Madness WR score. What he does with a trackball (or even harder, a mouse for that matter) is nothing less than incredible. Him moving that marble around the board is almost flawless. I would have crashed my marble 1,000 times if I zipped around the boa...

There is a related problem and I can't get a solution from Zwaxy or Chris G. Chris G? Btw, is everything ok with Chad? ... last time he posted here was in August 2015?

Re: The fall of the Gods

There's a bit more to the barrel analysis than that. Hi George, Probably yes, but this was all the info I had. Mr Copeland thought that his stats were proof which they are not... I haven't seen any other proof so far. What's suspicious is that compared to other players with very high barrel points,...

Re: The fall of the Gods

Thanks. Let's look at "Total Smashes" for all 12 players listed and assume it's normally distributed.... According to normal distribution the odds for single player to get 380 smashes (as Billy did) is roughly 1/12. So there's nothing unusual with Billy's amount of smashes which seems to b...
