To tide us over to Season 8, a quick MAME challenge on a game I discovered by hitting "Choose random game"...

NIGHTMARE IN THE DARK by Eleven / Gavaking is based on Snow Bros.

Buttons:
Button 1 - attack
Button 2 - fire


Shoot enemies to turn them into a fireball, pick up the fireball by walking over it and then press fire to launch it. When the fireball explodes at the bottom of the screen, pick up the bonus objects. If a fireball hits other enemies, it will kill them too.

Scores to be in by 1200 on FRIDAY AUGUST 3RD

Scores at 21:20 on Thursday 26th July :

1) 889200 - Merman = 100.00 points
2) 502000 - Opa-Opa = 68.23 points
3) 435300 - Supermario = 54.48 points
4) 432300 - necronom = 44.31 points
5) 417800 - Paranoid Marvin = 33.49 points

Strange game this, I like it a lot.
Seems a shame to have wasted it outside of the league season, we have had loads of junk to play lately and then a little gem like this is found but now can't be used during "normal working hours" :(

This will definitely be included in the vote for our second "best of" Season (which will probably be Season 10). The plan was to have an amnesty after a certain point to allow games we have played back into nomination, but the details haven't been decided yet...

Anyway, my score (which was helped by the bonus multiplier, I think you earn extra for killing all enemies at once):

889200

Bonuses seem a bit random - haven't worked them out yet. Not a bat game to pick up and play for 30 mins or so though - nice choice Merman's randomiser.

435,300

Hi all, new here :)

Managed to break the 1million mark...

Killing all the enemies with one 'fireball' does indeed yield a great bonus in the form of a massive diamond that drops down at the end of the stage...be sure to catch it before it hits the ground though.

I didn't have any problems with the 2-5 boss, but the 3-5 boss is a total bitch.
