Reward: $25 (usd)

Deadline for submission to MARP: August 13, 2004 2359 hours GMT

Thought maybe since this game had similar controls to Ripoff I might be able to play it.

NOPE!

Never got anywhere on it at all.

Hope to see others fare better.

Next week will be more of a classic again and I'll up the bounty.

Use WolfMAME .83 or .84

Actually, I had no idea he was going to do that.

As you observe Eastern Daylight time, GMT is 4 hours later. (8 pm there is midnight GMT)

When you are on Eastern Standard Time, GMT is 5 hours later (7 pm there is midnight GMT)

GMT doesn't change.

Congratulations des.

Have you heard anything from SlikStik?

If not I'll email them an inquiry about the spinner I ordered and send you a copy.

(Everyone please send Paypal a nastygram complaining about their shunning of eastern Europe)

Nothing

GMT time:
For example here:
http://marp.retrogames.com/index.cgi?tuaoLtUaE=42
I down-left corner you have GMT time.

About demon:
Game is simple until you get 100K (I do 100k at every time with first 2 lives) and next 'shooting-demon' bullets and reaction are fast, at 130k very fast and my method from inp is failed. I find new method from 130k for shooting to this demon but I didn't have too much time.
Points that give demon are depend from how many energy items you transport. Best if you transport 9 (19, 29, 39 ...) then demon give 1400pts for every shoot. For 8 - 1300, 7 -1200 ....1 - 600, 0 (10) - 500.

Nice ad

I remember playing Demon Attack quite a bit, when I had Mattel Intellivision. Gameplay was quite close to Phoenix, having mothership and all.
