I've played your inp, and the 20k bonus is very strange !!! thanks for infos.
However, it seems that you use a boot rom of the game ?

Hi ben.shibobi... how is going Cabal? More improvements?
And about Shinobi, what do you mean as "boot" rom in this case?

Re: Use shurikins and get the 20k Special Bonus :)

Anyway, if you use save state from my INP, maybe it's possible to identify why I got the bonus, underservedly. I tried some saves/loads some seconds before the end of the stage, and tried some mixups, but I couldn't confirm, consistently, when it give me or not the bonus. Well... it's with you Shinobi experts! Innuendo, Moreno, Destructor, Alpha, SYG-SINO, Ben.Shinobi, PAC-MAN... good luck!
It is a great discovery! =D>

Thanks Dan! However, while we can't confirm if it's a rule/technique or just a glitch/bug, it can't help you guys to improve scores... :)

I've tried with your inp save, but I can't find anything. For me, it's 100% bug !!!
Maybe SYG-SINO could reply for this bug ???

PS Congratulations to SINO with a new Arcadia record: 807.550pts. My next target score will be 810k on my pcb.

I've recorded here a replay for St 1-1 with 37.500 pts

You need some favorable random patterns to score this. I was very lucky to get it because it's impossible to score this every time.

Also, I've discovered that 14.800pts is possible on st 2-1 (about leeching) but once again, timing and favorable random patterns needed. I will try to do replay.

Congrats Ben and Sino!
By the way, anyone did more tests about the "undeserved" bonus?

Do you know better scoring patterns than 816k pts on practice ? What's your target score for Arcadia ? Do you have plans for working on Shadow Dancer ?

820k !!! Well I didn't think this score was possible !!
Where did you find new points ? Is there any chances to see your patterns ? Do you have video recorder when you play in game center ?
Good luck for your next record !!!

Hi, folks. How are you?

Well, first to Valter. I don´t understand how it is possible to do this. Sinceramente, não sei como vc conseguiu fazer isso, meu irmão.

I have a question to Ben Shinobi. Man, YOU PLAY VERY MUCH!! I´ve seen your videos in your site and you play many games. Congratulations. My question is: Playing in a original arcade Shinobi machine, taking all the hostages with 1up, how many points could be the maximum?
Long life to good games

For me, is impossible to get more than 1 x 1up hostage but maybe Sino have found a way to get more than 1 x 1up ? There are so many possibilities with hundred and 10 digits. Must try.
I give up this game for now. I play this since so many years...
