Space Wars

Post by Phil Lamat »

From MAWS:
Michael D. Mize has been the "High Score" holder for this Arcade Unit since 8/21/1982. At 19 points it is considered the "Lowest" High Score of all time.

This WR is listed on TG site :
http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx? ... 4&vi=17397

Does someone have some informations about "factory default" used ?
It could be time = 2 minutes : I've managed 9-0 in 1 minute, but with very few time left (look my inp on clone spaceshp, you will see what I mean) ; 9-0 is not easy, but with practice let's say you can do it twice ... 2x9 = 18, the question is can you have enough time left to manage a 19th win ?
Other possibility is time = 1 minute, with dipswitch "unknown" turned "on" : as you can read on KLOV, "after a kill, the victorious player will wait for 5 seconds before the next round begins".
With dipswitch "unknown" = "on", you don't have these 5 seconds.
Using this, Tar managed a 15-0 in 45 seconds on spacewar ; so could it give a 19-0 in 1 minute ?

I wonder where the other "unknown" dipswitch is. The manual only shows the "game time per coin" on the PCB, which is adjustable to 1:00, 1:30, 2:00 and :45. Here's a link to the manual:

EDIT: Tar has just managed 10 on clone "spaceshp" (1 minute).
So 20 could be possible on spacewars with 2 minutes, even if it probably requires some luck.
