Season 3, Champ's Challenge: Steel Force - MAME; romulan 'stlforce'

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

My games are always picked at the beginning or the end of the season.

No-where near as good as Alien Breed unfortunately.

49650 Had to fight the second level boss with cramp in my left thumb. You don't really get time to stop and explore do you? Running through the whole game.

The reality is that I didn't take a screenshot and I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really don't want to play it again...

(sigh) OK, if I get a chance today I'll post a token score.

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.

If England lose I might have to play this again to bring me down to earth again ;)

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 :D

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!

GGrrr to the snake type thing.... I think if I had sticks instead of keyboard I might be able to do the dam thing.
The movement seems to stick sometimes when I try to hit a diagonal..
