TK421 won season 3, so this is his challenge (sort of)... He declined to nominate a game, so I returned to random selection of all player nominated games. This gives us 2 weeks of Necronom's nomination: Steel Force in MAME. Twin Galaxies doesn't have this game listed. We'll play on the default settings: 1 Coin/1 Credit (That's it - there are no dip switch settings in this game!) No continues allowed, no auto-fire allowed Scores to be in by 12:00 noon on 18/06/06. Remember: This one's just for fun. I'll tally up the points for it, but they don't count towards anything other than these two weeks. New season starts on 18/06/06, post your game nominations here Final Scores at 12:00 on 18/06/06: 1) 87720 - Opa-Opa = 100.00 points 2) 64390 - Mawrth = 83.13 points 3) 57940 - Fairziff = 75.88 points 4) 49650 - Elgin_McQueen = 67.59 points 5) 46990 - TK421 = 62.50 points 6) 41850 - Sureshot = 56.00 points 7) 39930 - Necronom = 51.33 points 8) 38380 - Merman = 46.88 points 9) 38320 - Ghostbiscuit = 43.27 points 10) 32550 - Zaphod79 = 36.41 points 11) 27720 - Antiriad2097 = 30.09 points 12) 24550 - Markopoloman = 24.71 points 13) 21690 - Stomach = 19.51 points 14) 13500 - Leezer = 11.27 points [size=7]Congratulations Opa-Opa[/size] If the champ's Challenge was considered for the overall scores, these would be the final results: 1) TK421 = 828.96 points 2) Leezer = 736.40 points 3) Sureshot = 707.54 points 4) Stomach = 652.60 points 5) Kaiserpc = 622.16 points 6) Elgin_McQueen = 616.00 points 7) Necronom = 559.49 points 8) BigDon = 554.47 points 9) Zaphod79 = 465.27 points 10) RS200 = 367.44 points 11) Merman = 302.97 points 12) Fairziff = 300.08 points 13) Ghostbiscuit = 219.42 points 14) Koopa42 = 212.71 points 15) Mawrth = 206.94 points 16) TheMadWelshMan91 = 181.72 points 17) Antiriad2097 = 179.98 points 18) Markopoloman = 165.07 points 19) Opa-Opa = 100.00 points 20) Frank Chickens = 97.70 points 21) RevGiblet = 94.73 points 22) Russgalleywood = 86.76 points 23) Mike = 76.54 points 24) Spirit = 76.18 points |

Oh man, it's much worse than yours. And to add insult to injury I've deleted the ROM and can't be bothered to download it again so I will NOT be posting this week. If I find myself depressed due to poor England performances then I might, in my confused state of mind, post a score - but otherwise I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for Blue Max next season. |

Don't worry about it Rev, I just feel duty bound to encourage as many scores as possible running this thing. So many people just seem to have given up this week. Only just over a week til the new season though

32550 I think the lack of play may be down to the game itself , i've had 3 goes during the last week and havent enjoyed them at all. If this was in the normal weekly run it would be at the very bottom of my list (below Willow :-)

And what fun it is! I'm so glad it wasn't picked as a normal league game, and it was my choice! I had a quick go and saw it was like Alien Breed, so assumed it would be good. I was wrong. Sorry guys. I think my choices for the next league are better. |

I don't think i'm finding this as bad as everyone else. Though I haven't played it since my high score with all the cramp. If this was picked as a normal league game people would've played it more, they just know right now they don't have to. I mean, at least it's easier to play than Fire Trap. |

Its not the worst game we've had, but there's a choice this time. Usually we have to make do with even the bad ones just to keep our overall league score up. As this is just for 'fun'(?), I think there are quite a few who've decided its not worth the effort. And tbh I'm enjoying the break - its nice to have a few days without worrying too much about keeping scores up to date etc. No doubt some of the regulars are spending their time on other things too. |

I think I have maxed out here though. I cannot defeat the level 3 boss, so my recent attempts have been concentrated on maximising my scores in the first 3 stages. Any tips on the boss would be appreciated. Like you Elgin, I am enjoying this too. Far better than Space Harrier! |
