Retro Game Challenge #30 (2/20-2/27)
Week 30 is over!
The Rules:
So far we have only been using MAME to play the games, but that can change, if the winner so chooses.
New to MAME? Feel free to ask questions here or read the tutorials
I am going to host the current ROMs and list of all the past winners and high scores here.
The Games:
(click the titles for info and how to play)
Atomic Robo-Kid - Score to beat: Wazootyman 277000
Galaxian (Midway) - Score to beat: D300 49140
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (set 1) - Score to beat: trozkd 158290
The Prize:
Whoever gets the high score for one of the games picks the next game that replaces it, so we should always have 3 to choose from. You also get your nameengraved permanently etched onto this eye catching trophy with a genuine Sharpie!
This Week's Winners:
The Rules:
- To enter, you just play one of the games and post a screenshot (F12 key in MAME) with your score.
- The deadline to post your high scores will be Sunday 9:00 PM Eastern US time.
- Winners must choose a new game before the deadline. If not, the high score is still up for grabs until one is chosen.
- The games should be at least 10 years old and ones we haven't played before.
- Any scores you submit should be played during the week of the contest using no continues or any features of the emulator that you wouldn't get by playing the actual machine.

Just so people know, Atomic Robo-Kid does actually work. If you hit F10 you can get past that setup screen a little faster. Then hit F10 again to return to normal speed.
^first time I ever played the game and I blame the crappy screenshot on the fact that I lost my last guy due to being switched back to my desktop from some other program. They really need to make mame not lose focus like that

Are you going to pick a new game, Wazootyman? I really wish people wouldn't wait until the last day.
I made an adjustment to rule #3: Winners must choose a new game before the deadline. If not, the high score is still up for grabs.
