Reward: $25 (usd)
Deadline for submission to MARP: June 30, 2006 2359 hours GMT
Further Bounty: none
A 1983 offering from Century Electronics. Their last game released apparently, and not surprisingly. They appear to be a little behind the curve on this one. This is pretty primitive for 1983.
Good luck finding any information about the game. I think they originally meant to release it with the title "A Maze Zing", but canceled and released it later with a different name.
NotMan submitted a recording during the previous week in which he deliberately killed off his lasty few men. In case the difficulty doesn't ramp up enough after that, we will be using the standard one hour limit. (Tough for me to tell...Stage 5 is impossible for me.)
Random prize: One gamer who submits a recording on this title this week, chosen randomly from those who do, will receive a Dwayne Richards mousepad:
This is a real collector's item, because the world record it cites has since been broken by Robert Griffin (whose face has yet to be plastered all over every manner of promotional item possible).
Use WolfMAME .101 or .106
On Deck game: Marine Date
