I just confirmed your Arkanoid scores, and I must congratulate you to a flawless "sweep" (except for the Taito clone) great job!!
<p>

I will do my best to fight back, so you better upgrade your scores now QT! *joking*
I have a better mouse now, so I might have a better chance now, but it will not be easy.

<p>


ps I saw that you didn´t like round 25 :=) well, it is the hardest stage in the game in my opinion.. Even with a spinner and the real arcade machine it can drain lives..so can round 26.

<p>

Thank-you for the confirmations, QRS. A good mouse certainly does
help; I'm using a Microsoft Explorer à la laser, but I wish I had a
spinner--it's harder to screw up with a spinner when you're nervous
or jittery.

<p>

As for Level 25...well, it's not like I'm close to completing the
game yet. Level 6 still scares the hell out of me, and level 14 is
probably my worst for some strange reason--that or 20 which I have no
technique for (start left and move right? or can you get all the
pinks at one go?)

<p>

Never was very good at Arkanoid in the arcade; would like to try it
now. What's a good score by the time you're at Level 20 anyway?

I have Borrowed a Microsoft Wingman mouse right now, and I will
probably buy one, cause I like it very much! I have not tried the
Lazer-kind of mouses yet though.

<p>

Hmm stage 6 can be tricky because of the controlls when it goes fast..
I have no problems with stage 14, but it is easier if you can get a
green capsule to get the bricks near the sides..

<p>

Stage 20 is a boring level, and it can be hard if you don´t get the
grey bricks fast, cause it goes too fast after a while :=) with a
spinner its easy, but with the mouse... blehh!

<p>

My best on Arkanoid (arcade) is about 1mil, and you get alot of
points by "leeching" on the boss in the end. You need some spare men
though :=)

<p>

A good score at stage 20? hmm ábout 400k is possible, I don´t
remember exactly at stage 20.

<p>

But after watching your recording, I see that you are not so greedy
at stages where I collect alot of points (arcade). BUT its not the
same to play with a mouse and its so easy to die alot of men, cause
you want to take som 1k-capsules instead :=)

<p>

Round 14,15,16 are good "capsile-leech" stages if my memory serves me
well.

<p>

The stage I hate most except 25,26 are stage 12... the ball always
seems to bounce back after I get it in that narrow passage.. it can
destroy my whole gameplay

<p>


Anyway keep the good scores coming, and I will see if I can come near
your scores.

<p>

kill 800 or more enemies at round 26 per a ship.<br>
This is POSSIBLE act for ultimate master.<br>
and it is the reason there is no World Record at this game.<br>

I wasn't referring to Hisa, but the true ULTIMATE MASTER of every
Arkanoid-style game on MARP.... there are legends of his incredible
skill... just like mine at Pengo... (unf unf unf!)

Interesting way of getting points Hisa , but I think that it would
take too long time to do it.. so long that I would be bored :=) and
with a mouse it is hard as hell to even get to stage 26 :=)

<p>

And there is a WR for that game. Zack stole Steve Krogmans 1.4mil
something and got 1.6 mil something.

Just a question(I'm not familiar with the game):Why someone have to
leech a lot if after the final boss the game continues(At infinite if
I'm not wrong)???

angelo.salese@tin.it

Kale:the game ends at round 33 (or was it 34 I never remember that:)
<p>

Anyway it´s a boss in the end that requires 15 hits, and then its
game over.

Hi. I own the original Arkanoid Sit-down machine at my home. It is
set to start with 5 lives. I've had the game for years, and I
consider myself very good. I've made it to the last level without
continuing, and my high score was 735,280. How does that rank?
Thanks.

Finish the game is a performance. Your score isn't bad but the
masters of Arkanoid made all over 1M with the leech trick in the boss
stage. I knew a guy in my arcade who'd go to the final stage with his
first life and spend all his lives (safe one) to the boss. His score
was 1M2-1M4. And the world record is 1M6, over the double of yours...

I stand to be corrected, but I think the Japanese version is easier
than the American version, yes? Not that this has anything to do with
those scores or what not, I just don't remember.
