I came back from an SCA war event all weekend to find five high scores missing though--that part kind of sucked.

Well done, QRS - endgame approaching
I didn't expect retaliation so soon, but with a good competitor, I shouldn't be surprised. It looks like after 4 years at the site, someone is finally going to complete Arkanoid.

Thanks QT.
<p>
I had a god run on the US set, but don´t expect me to come near that
again.. I was very lucky+played well, and thats not a common thing
for me on that game :=)
<p>
Anyway it was easier with this mouse (newer one than last year), but
I have played it too much the last 10 days so I need a break.
<p>
I also search the net for a spinner.. I want the arcade feeling!!
<p>
Regards, and keep the good scores comming QT!

I was also looking for a spinner a while back and the closes thing i
could come to a spiner was rewiring an atari 2600 paddle, still that
won't have the "weight" and mobility of the arkanoid spinner. please
keep us posted on your spinner findings, you'll have a lot of buyers
here!

Ahh I never even though about the paddle to the atari 2600.. I think
I have two of those somewhere..
<p>
Can you explain (in detail) how to make them compatible with the PC?
I know very little about things like that Chad:=)
<p>
Oakster is trying to turn a mouse or a trackball into a spinner too.
if you attach some larger "wheel" or something on the mousewheel for
left and rigt movement it might work.

You can combine an Atari paddle top with an optical mouse... search
previous threads about spinners/Arkanoid at MARP--someone posted a
link to a site that tells how to build a spinner. It might have been
Krogman, but I don't honestly remember. I started work on one last
year, but never finished it.

Anders + co ,
I`ve got a working Logitech Wingman Warrior joystick complete with
built-in spinner .My main reason for acquiring this was to play Tron
and especially Arkanoid . Tron is fine , but I find that Arkanoid is
difficult . Now maybe I`m doing something wrong with the settings
etc..., but I`ve tried lots and lots of settings , and my conclusion
is that the 'axis ' of the WW is smaller than arcade spinner , thus
making life difficult .
Other spinner games are fine , but Arkanoid is a problem for me . The
'vaus' does not respond as fast or in any way accurate as the arcade
'feel' ?
<p>
Then again , maybe I`m a complete gob-shite , and am not spending
enough time examining even more different settings
<p>
You play Arkanoid with a mouse Anders ? I`ve tried , but I`m crap (
or rather the mouse is..)
But a friend of mine has one of these ' Laser Mouse ' thingys' .
Looks like I may invest in one of these : greater control , no
cleaning , etc....( plus it lights-up really well in the dark ,if
your into that sort of thing.....)
<p>
Cheers,
<p>

I'm playing with a 'laser mouse', Al, and I can tell you that it
greatly improves my game. Not to the point of QRS' game, but then
again, I never finished Arkanoid in the arcade.
<p>
When I get my Internet back up and can freely d/l again, I'm going to
have a look at your Metro-Cross .inp and see if I can't add a bit of
competition. Did you give up trying to catch Ken? (He certainly isn't
easy to stay ahead of, is he?)

Heh..
<p>
QT , don`t D/L my INP . Look at Kens'. He reminded me of
'things'/strategies done long ago in the arcades , which I forgot
about .
<p>
Haven`t played this game in ages ( tournament duty...and stuff..) ,
but may give it a go now . Maybe .

Alex, that's criminal! Your .inp was totally different than Ken's! I
play far cleaner than Ken does for most of the game, but that skate
trick changes everything! Plus, I finally see how to use those stupid
confetti pads.
<p>
Excellent! Get ready to defend your score

that recording was impressive, to say the least. i didn't even know
about the running between the floor lines trick. i can do about 40K on
the first level--certainly not 85K. i would be happy just to be able to
finish the game.

note about the cool metrocross recording: i was able to play it back
with sound, but needed to keep frameskip=0, very cool, too bad there
wasn't a special final round.

so where "were" you going to post this master-33?
