This game doesn't work properly (enemies don't even fire bullets!).

get MAME
Doubled up 20 times. No total random but no total exactness either. Some work and patience required
Odds for doubling up 20 times in a row would be (6/13)^20. Approx one per five million.
German should play some lottery if the game really is random.

Not sure if lvpoker has same issue.

Not exactly the correct place but it's an information to tell that bking3 isn't recognized in the marp database.
'bking3' isn't a MAME short game name
correct the bad stuff and resubmit, or whinge to Zwaxy

Renamed '*bking3' to 'bking3'

Had been archived since m68 and wasn't working until m122.

Thanks!

Two questions:

1) Is 4960 the true maximum for the game or can this score be beaten?
2) How easy is it for someone just learning to play to reach this score?

hey ***pl*** , how 's it going
uhm , well
in response to the query concerning astropal
1)there is a slim chance someone may be able to exceed 4960
2)honestly , it took 2 days and about 50 attempts to reach it.

tar, let's watch it a little longer. If say at least 5 1st place scores are exactly the same then we'll archive it. Thx.

Like you tar, for me it took 52 attempts to reach the actual 4960 score.
I noticed in the games i recorded that if you place and fire in the good way just before the end of the "only stage", then you can have 1 or 2 more targets.
But is it enough to keep this game like this, knowing that the driver is in preliminary status ? Maybe that it should be good to archive the game.

PS :
Like you can notice, i'm actually hunting for the games without score. It's fun to see my name in the MARP top 10 even if i know that many of my games will be beaten easily ;-)
