Its the final week of season 3 and we're playing Markopoloman's nomination of Biomechanical Toy (Unprotected) in MAME. This one should please most camps as its a polished platform shooter.

Twin Galaxies uses the default settings so we can compare scores for this one again.

We'll play on the default settings:
1 Coin/1 Credit
Service Mode = Off
Unknown(1) = Off
Unknown(2) = On
Demo Sounds = On
Lives = 2
Difficulty=Normal

No continues allowed, no auto-fire allowed

Scores to be in by 12:00 noon on 04/06/06.

There are 2 contenders for first place with the winner choosing the Champion's Challenge for the next 2 weeks before the new season starts on the 18th.

Final Scores at 12:00 on 04/06/06:

1) 10125710 - Stomach = 100.00 points
2) 9694900 - Leezer = 95.24 points
3) 7326920 - BigDon = 80.92 points

18) 1022200 - RevGiblet = 10.31 points
19) 970680 - Antiriad2097 = 7.42 points

Congratulations to Stomach, you fought long and hard this week fending off TK421 and Leezer :ph43r: .

Congratulations also to TK421 for winning his first full season :ph43r: . Special mentions go to Leezer and Sureshot for coming 2nd and 3rd respectively. Stomach crept in at 4th, despite winning this week.

You're right. I'd worked out it was 3 before I'd done the final scores and forgot to double check that :o

Does this have a high score table? I haven't seen one.

This is a bizzare looking game!

I don't think there is a high score table, much better than last weeks game though IMHO.

Keep an eye out for the flying hat - shoot it enough times and you get a 200k bonus.

Also keep an eye out for bits of the wall that sparkle when you shoot them - shoot the right spot enough times and a clown pops out and you get 100k bonus.

Yes their is

Also worked out how to use those gold phoenix statue things. Read up on the original arcade game and it was a 3 button machine - this one however only lets you map 2 fire buttons - I forget which other game I was playing long time ago when I realised it, but the 3rd fire button is the Start Button (Key 1). Using this makes a big phoenix flap across the screenand kill everything.

Used to love this game, It was one of the machines at "The Metro" in Ashton-u-Lyne where I used to live.

Not much more to say about the game as you done a good job already (well done for finding to keystroke to launch the phoenix and shooting the sparkles !!) - just remember that on the train level you gotta KEEP ON MOVIN' !! .. got to the boss level (The Virus) and he killed me .. bugger .. but I am so pleased we got this as the last weeks game .. gonna play it to death :)

Stomach - There's no walls to go through - just some bits of the screen will sparkle when you shoot em, and if ya keep shooting em a clown pops out.

i think he means things in general , the beginning of the game shoot the statue to the left of where you start when it glitters and you'll get the clown also the first beanstalk you come to shoot the floor when it glitters for another clown :)

Interesting game , although strikes me as one of those in the arcade where you would probably put a few quid in with continues to finish it and never play it again.

I'm a convert!

I used to play all of the mame games on keyboard - but since i stole my sons joypad - I've moved from regular bottom of the league to middle of the road :D

But as I like this game LOTS - I feel a long session after work coming on.............
