Zhorik, You are correct. The default difficulty is indeed medium, and the number of jumps to get the monkeys off your back is the primary indicator. When Jason was playing, he said that the rhinos where behaving differently than what he was used to. He said that's normally the easiest board for him ...

And this points up why I have requested players not previously known to me to notify me via email or PM before they submit their entry - I can only assume that the new forum member jkc is you, Jason. Anyway, I don't think anyone would go to too much trouble to try to scam me out of 25 bucks. PM me ...

I am not an expert at HS, but the discussion about allowing nvram or not is quite interesting. I would tend to agree with TJT and AL that it would be much better if nvram were allowed for this game. My suggestion for really fixing this type of situation would involve an enhancement to MAME itself. T...

Once again, i notice that players post their inps in the last 4 hours of the challenge. I think it's a bad way to beat score cos we can't see progression and it's the worst way to compete with others players. This way to do is only to win money prize that you offer John. I actually didn't start pla...

The question about save states being cheating was actually raised at the Twin Galaxies panel discussion at California Extreme 2004. My answer was that I do not consider it cheating. It is simply a quicker way to learn how to play a game. It is definitely an advantage over playing a game over and ove...

So I wouldn't qualify for the chamionship, but still thought they might list me for the individual game. I asked Robert about this and he said that he wouldn't be listing or tracking scores that don't affect the outcome of the Advanced Deca. I figured this is how he would be handling it and it actu...

So I wouldn't qualify for the chamionship, but still thought they might list me for the individual game. I'm not sure if they will list individual games scores for those who are no longer qualified. On the summary thread, it could be confusing to see scores that don't affect the final outcome. Some...

Don't they all? Well....yes :) But this one seems worse than most. I can't count how many times I thought I shot something and then it killed me. I guess I'm too used to Centipede/Millipede where I can get extremely close to things before shooting them (and when I shoot them, they die!!) I also not...

I got 16/18. I missed one early that I shouldn't have (I'll blame it on having my speaker volume too low), and I got lucky on one or two others.

Also, I'd be curious to know what type of controls you guys used, if you don't mind sharing a little trade secret. Please don't anyone tell me they used the keyboard... I used a Hotrod SE. Like Tommi, towards the end I was feeling better about my average score. Although, I can't remember how many t...

Definitely a great score and replay! I may have to give this another shot

If Martin Bedard finds out that this is the game of the week, he will likely win

John, you may want to impose the 1-hour time limit on this one since Martin proved it to be marathonable in last year's ADeca.

(edit)
Oops, didn't see that you had imposed the 1 hour limit already.

Thanks again, John! I too am a bit surprised that there were not more uploads this week, although I was a bit relieved that MDA didn't notice it until too late :) But, Mark, saying you can beat my MAME score with your foot isn't quite accurate since you're comparing it to your arcade foot score. My ...
