Thanks! Corrected that score on the board, I can't seem to count apparently but it's fixed now. :D Those 2 deaths at 160k were just downright embarrassing. :oops: I swear I can't ever get a game going where I don't lose 2 men fast like that, it just never fails. It did make for an interesting record...

It felt like Olympic training trying to beat BBH's Satan's Hollow score. I think I ruined my wrist / fingers playing. Took me about a month of practice before I could finally get that 'good game' and even then I died in some really stupid ways. To think, he'll probably just beat it in a month or 2!

Fair enough, I need a break too, the keyboard fire / shield thing kills my wrist, ouch. Thanks for the competition man, we really gave MARP some respectable Satan's Hollow representation. I'll play from time to time since I feel like I can hit a million on a really good day. I'll check back from tim...

Never mind that TG stuff, that is just insanity. I prefer MARP scores posted by real HUMANS I can chat with. :D Just for posterity and future reference to SH players, I did some more analysis of our recordings. Some Interesting points (set 1 exclusive): The game is always the same up until screen 22...

You're absolutely right and I've been working on exactly that since I posted that score. Making good progress based on your recording and the points you mentioned above. Another interesting note is that I was off in my wave calculations. You cleared 85 flags but didn't get credit for 11 due to bridg...

Awesome thank you, I got it going pretty good now with a custom resolution. I like that Wolfmame too, very nice. So BBH I managed 561k this morning. The interesting thing about this is that my strategy going in was 'build and cross' as fast as possible and never dally with a completed bridge, run ac...

Excellent thank you. Couple questions about using alphame62 if anyone can help please. In mame32 .36 there is a double display size option that fills up the screen much better for me. This doesn't seem to be an option with alphamame, is it a frowned-upon thing or just something that died away with o...

Heheh sorry about that, I was only using .36 because it's the most current windows version hosted on MARP. Believe it or not it runs flawlessly on my machine. Anywho, I'm extremely new here so forgive my newbie ignorance on that kinda stuff. I'll snag this tgmame62. If BBH says it's good, that works...

Thanks back to you BBH. Since you raised the bar so freaking high I'm feeling inspired and managed to get my own personal best, 442,640. I'll keep chugging, please share any tips and answers to my above queries. Just found myself thinking man, the Satan's Hollow section of MARP is all of the sudden ...

I said competition not L33T PWNAGE! Do you always just pop back to a game 5 years later and triple your highest score? :D Seriously though, fan-TASTIC game! AWESOME run to the bridge with that last man for a tremendous bonus score. Finally, a real-life Satan's Hollow master, well met BBH, well met. ...

Well, it's about to be dethroned. I had to register just to post this. :D Seriously though, as a youngster I remember scoring about 440k on a Satan's Hollow machine over in Daytona during spring break. Now some 15 or more years later I doubt my reflexes will allow me to recreate that but I have mana...
