Retro Game Challenge #32 (3/6-3/13)

Week 32 is over!
The Rules:
  1. To enter, you just play one of the games and post a screenshot (F12 key in MAME) with your score.
  2. The deadline to post your high scores will be Sunday 9:00 PM Eastern US time.
  3. Winners must choose a new game before the deadline. If not, the high score is still up for grabs until one is chosen.
  4. The games should be at least 10 years old and ones we haven't played before.
  5. 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.

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)

Berzerk (set 1) - Score to beat: devilshalo 10350


Millipede - Score to beat: D300 204675


Rampage (revision 3) - Score to beat: Roto 80045


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 name engraved permanently etched onto this eye catching trophy with a genuine Sharpie!

This Week's Winners:

3150? That's it? I really expected more from you I think I only played it twice when I posted my score. I'll have to try again when I get home.

I suck at Berzerk. The only reason it was ever a big deal was because it could talk

That's because you need the samples. Sometimes they can't emulate all the audio, so they get somebody to record it instead.

What's up with Berzerk? I feel like either we all suck or we're playing Texas Hold'em and we've seen the flop, just waiting for the turn and river cards.

I can confirm that I suck at Berzerk. I put about $2 into it yesterday and couldn't beat my first score.

And you laughed at my 3000 score, the game is so boring especially after playing Robotron last week.

Well, that explains things.. I'm pretty happy that I came up with the score I did on Robotron then. Tho my poor keyboard has gone thru a lot of abuse.
