Its the Season 5 Final!

It's Week 10 and its going to be tough, as we're playing current season leader TK421's nomination:
Rygar by Tecmo in 1986.

Posted Image

Twin Galaxies has a million plus score to aim for with MAME, though there are higher arcade scores, probably down to the change in difficulty level. We won't be using those either, as the default is 'easy'...

Default settings:
1 Coin/1 Credit
Lives = 3
Unknown = Off
Bonus Life = 50000, 200000, 500000
Unknown = Off
Unknown = Off
Difficulty = Easy
2P Can Start Any Time = No
Allow Continue = Yes (You may wish to change this to 'No' for ease of use)

No continues allowed, no auto-fire allowed

Scores to be in by 12:00 noon on 26/11/06.

Final Scores at 12:00 on 26/11/06

1) 2487470 - TK421 = 100.00 points
2) 1520090 - MadroXounds = 77.92 points
3) 684740 - Kaiserpc = 58.50 points
4) 597250 - Opa-Opa = 54.11 points
5) 567660 - A.J.Green = 50.88 points
6) 535040 - Supermario = 47.60 points
7) 492190 - Zaphod79 = 44.10 points
8) 401070 - Sureshot = 39.64 points
9) 317660 - Elgin_McQueen = 35.33 points
10) 234460 - Necronom = 31.03 points
11) 208710 - Smurph = 27.88 points
12) 192470 - Merman = 24.92 points
13) 189510 - RS200 = 22.23 points
14) 146670 - Fairziff = 18.74 points
15) 139710 - SirClive = 15.97 points
16) 100880 - Stomach = 12.55 points
17) 76360 - Antiriad2097 = 9.43 points
18) 67770 - Markopoloman = 6.63 points
19) 48170 - Ghostbiscuit = 3.60 points

I've played this before, albeit briefly. Seemed ok from first impressions.

If it's as good as Black Tiger, I might put in the effort to take on TK again ;)

Why so sad Opa? Its not like any of us really stand a chance of beating TK this season - the only way it'd be possible is if you won and TK421 scored less than 2 league points. Not going to happen is it...

From what I remember, this was an enjoyable enough game down the arcade, though as usual I was never much good at it.

When I was a younger man than I am today my local Video store (a new concept, a shop that rented out films, just like you could go to the pictures and watch) had 3 arcade cabinets next to the Betamax section.
I spent all my "after school" time in that mini arcade and have to say, was one of "THE" players in that small, little world, and then came RYGAR..

I watched in awe as one of the bigger boys played Rygar on 10p for hours after school one day.. He could fly through the levels, collecting power ups that made him seem almost God like..
I wanted to be that good at this game, I spent all my dinner money for months trying to get close to one of the only people who could Kane me on that machine.. I never got anywhere near...

I picked this game hoping that it might get me a few points and even make me look as good as the Bigger boys, looks like this game might be my Unicorn... :(

I'm rubbish at this. I thought I would like it when it came on, but it annoys me. I think the short time limit is one reason.

Good choice of game this week.

I will struggle this week, but it will be an enjoyable struggle :)

Getting killed consistantly by a large face like blob towards the end of each level. Do I try to dodge him of kill him??

Hmm, seems like my new dual monitor setup doesn't like printscreen if I'm using extended desktop. Then, when I did change to 1 screen to test it out, it closed MAME! :blink:

Luckily, I did press f12 before that so got a png. Looks like I'll have to do things this way from now on. It does work again if I turn one off, but nevermind.

Edit: cracked it, alt+printscreen is the thing to use.

A fun game - but the main thing i remember out of this in the arcade was the nice little trick that worked on the one in my local arcade

Put 20p in (game was 10p a go) , start a 1player game , as the writing was scrolling out the intro message press the 2player button , you got a 2 player game and still had your remaining credit (so 3 goes for 20p :-)

Was never all that great at it despite the extra practice

okay, I'm sure it's been answered before but how do you open the .inp file with mame32 or mamefx? When I try and open it, it just complains about missing rygar files?

Is it just me or are the controls quite unresponsive for this? sometimes when I push a direction, or fire nothing happens! And then I die!

Still sh*t at this :( Nearly at the point of not bothering with this anymore

highlight the game and then click on 'file' and then 'playback input' and as long as u are playing US set 1 it should play back my INP getting to level 17 so there are a few pointers :)

There seems to be another bonus with those stacking enemies if you can kill them all before they hit the ground.

You had a different version of the ROM. In MAME, the 'Set 2' is actually an earlier version than the 'Set 1' we're playing. Set 1 is a bugfixed version which removes the credit flaw you found.

I am kind of tempted not to play this weeks game. I have a very low first attempt score and that is probably all I will do. Looking at the scores already posted it looks like anyone who doesn't get the million points bonus is getting a shit score anyway and that doesn't motivate me to play it.

Some of us play just for the sport, not necessarily for high scores. Just gives a better feel for a game, lets me make an informed deciision on it rather than just a quick play then dump it. F'rinstance, Arabian Nights is absolute cack, and I can say that having spent quite some time on it. Far too much time tbh.

I'm sorta with Sir CLive on this one. I think the game is great but what's the point if only certain people know where this huge bonus is?

Shouldn't the community be helping each other out to the location of the bonus??

This is all IMHO of course.

I think TK421 has been very helpfull with this game..
Download the file he has given the link to and study it for a little while. I think it is great that he, along with everyone else offers help to anyone who asks :)

Heres to season 6 - may TK421 be rubbish at the games we pick :)
