Arcade Game Challenge #45 - The reward is freedom... and fame!

In these threads we play arcade games that are emulated on PCs, and compete for the highest score.
You have to take care of finding the games yourself.
Click here for the list of all the past winners and high scores.


The Rules (always a work in progress):
  1. To enter, you just play one of the games and post a screenshot with your score.
  2. Once all the games have a score, the deadline to post any new scores will be 72 hours after the last screenshot is posted.
  3. The winner can pick any game that we haven't already played for the next thread. Don't forget to pick a new game, or I'll do it for you!
  4. Any games should be played with one credit and no continues or any features not on the actual machine.
  5. If you play and beat any of the high scores from the previous games we've played, you can submit them for the All Time Top Scores.

The Games:
(click the games for info and how to play)


Asteroids Deluxe - Score to beat: D300 37080

Current Leader Chooses: Lode Runner

Circus Charlie - Score to beat: Roto 76720

Current Leader Chooses: Thunder Blade

Kicker - Score to beat: IgnatiusReilyII 136900

Current Leader Chooses: Thief

Krull - Score to beat: IgnatiusReilyII 120100

Current Leader Chooses: Arkanoid

The Prize:
Whoever gets the high score for one of the current games picks the next game that replaces it. You also get your name engraved permanently etched onto this eye catching trophy with a genuine Sharpie!

Defending Champs:

Wow, there's no distinction between me and D300 anymore? I guess that's a compliment to me. Dunno how he feels about that?

Wow, that's lame. Is it any better at playing clone games? I can't believe all the problems you keep running into. Just get a throwaway PC and a KVM switch already.

The only nice thing about the CMD + G, it freezes the game and let's you do a "save as".

I tried changing it to F12 but no dice. I haven't been able to play clones still. They moved the folders around so I have to search for them now.

So Asteroids Deluxe is the odd game out? All you have to do is look at the high score list to see who will win that one. D300 can practically schedule the end of this thread at will.

Here you go, but now I might be picking two games that nobody wants to play.

Crap! You couldn't let it go for a little longer than a week?
