Season 5, Week 10: Rygar (US Set 1), MAME; romulan 'rygar'

On the next update, I don't think I'll be anywhere near the 91 points I'm currently on!

The scores will be something like:

100
1.2
0.8
0.2
0.17
0.1

:lol:

I don't think I'll bother anymore with this. The weapon is useless. It misses baddies close to you. The collision detection looks to be fairly random, and sometimes the button response isn't what it should be. The time limit ruins it too.

It could have been so much better.

I've managed to get some fun out of it, but it ends up being ultimately annoying.

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 do play for he sport, but it is the competition that encourages me to stick with a game. I have tried Rygar and I like it, but I am not encouraged to carry on much further, so will probably not bother as I have plenty of other games/projects I can be getting on with.

I think TK has been very sporting with his inp's and tips, but its another gam that sorts the level players from the 'total' players and I know I will never compete with the likes of TK. I was hoping to get some points back on Necronom and get into the top 10, but looks like I will struggle to even get double figures at this rate.

Hi
I've just come across this board from a post made by a visitor to RetroGaming (http://retrogamingscoreboard.frih.net/Forum/index.php)
Wish I'd seen it before as there are 3 of my all time favourite arcade games on this season's challenge alone - Rygar, Star Force and Metro Cross.

I'll need to keep an eye out for Season 6 as I'm always up for a good challenge :D

ME.

How long will the gap be between seasons btw?

Just a couple of weeks, maybe even just one. I need to have a look at the dates and work it out so that it fits round holidays.

We'll have at least a 1 week Champion's Challenge, where the season winner gets to pick any game for us to play, then over December/January I was thinking of having a 'half' season of 5 weeks, because that time invariably needs a lot of personal attention so those with families don't have the same gaming time.

This half season will also be a testing ground for level multipliers on the scoring - I'll run dual scores to see how it affects results.

Might even make it a 'best of' half season - have a game from season 1 for week 1, season 2 game for week 2 etc. I need to gather opinion on this one...

After that we'll have a full season again.

I've created a new thread here for discussion of this topic...

now this IS a platform masterpiece :)

Just noticed your quote from page 1

Well that's a first, a platform game with hardly any platforms! :D :lol: :D

I would hardly call it a platform game TK, more of a horizontal scrolling jump 'n run

sorry couldn't resist, after seeing the quote. Maybe there is some more platforms after round 5 (as far as I can get at the moment) :unsure:

Kl, thanks, after watching tk's inp file where he seemed to avoid red pickups I thought maybe you had to pick up the stars in a row or something.

Are you sure you made it here? he's on round 9, it looks very similar to round 5.

Also, a.j.green got the 160,000 bonus for getting all the items (including the cross) on round 7

You can kill the bat quite easily with the Sun power (shoot upwards) but it just keeps coming back. If you have the Sun, to increase your repulse and rank bonus on level 5 -
Near the end of that level, once you have jumped off the last rope move a bit to the right and keep jumping and holding up and firing. You keep killing the bat every 1-2 seconds, then run for it when your time is up.

You can get the 160,000 bonus earlier than level 7 if you have the other 4 powers then reveal a red box with a question mark inside one of the stones. Keep shooting it until it turns into a cross, pick it up to give you all 5 powers and voila - 160,000.
