Yeah! No one else can play Metal Slug! Maybe I'll win by default!

I think it's actually everyone can play Metal Slug except for devilshalo. But that's still cause for celebration. He wins enough :p

devilshalo 03-23-05 04:55 PM

Oh, I can play Metal Slug. I just can't see wtf I'm doing. :p

Holy crap Gorf requires a lot of patience! That game is really challenging. :D Here's my current HS. I'll try more tomorrow.

I'll be the first to post a Free-for-All Score.
Come defend your Donkey Kong Jr. score DS :)

Are you using a keyboard? :p

I am mad I have somehow never seen this contest before!
I gotta give this a shot. Are we allowed to submit high scores for games of previous iterations??

gimmepilotwings 03-24-05 11:25 AM

Metal Slug works ok, but is there a way to change the button configurations? The jump button is the ALT key, which is next to my windows key. I keep going out of MAME by hitting the wrong key on accident.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

Yes, you showed up at the perfect time, since this is the first time we're doing that. You can try to beat the score of any game we've played previously. The list is at http://dvdtalk.home.comcast.net

For now I'm just going to put those new scores in that black column in the middle so I don't have to bother making a new page or rearranging anything. That's all you get for beating an old score though, no trophy or anything :)

Hit the tab key and it will bring up a menu where you can set all the keys.

gimmepilotwings 03-24-05 11:39 AM

Thanks, I saw that menu but never really looked at it.

That score will be beaten this afternoon when I get off of work.

He's probably not, but I don't think using the keyboard is really a handicap for donkey kong or most games that use a 4 way joystick. Besides you're the one that refuses to buy a joystick even though you play this as much as anybody here :p

Is it my fault I have a stock ride? If we were all stuck using the keyboard, it would be a level playing field, but some of y'all modded up your rice rockets fast and the furious style. :p

With the scores you've been putting up, you would win almost everything. If you had to use a joystick, I think you would be at a disadvantage :p.

Roto 03-24-05 01:17 PM

I think I should've just put MAME in the thread title a long time ago. It's already busier in here :banana:

Lampei 03-24-05 01:25 PM

If you add "PS2/Xbox is for pu$$ies" you'll get a few more people in here :)

Want to blame something? Blame this thing.... :p

I was the only person (and I caught major crap for doing this) that would place it on the table and use my index finger on the controls instead of holding it and using my thumbs. I'd routinely score a touchdown on all of my first possessions. :lol:

What's really weird is that I was pretty good at these games in the arcade.. left hand worked the joystick, right hand worked the buttons. Using the keyboard, it's reversed; right hand uses the cursor controls and left hand works the buttons.

D300 03-24-05 01:45 PM

That game is probably 25 years old!
No wonder you're so good at the keyboard, you've had 25 years worth of experience playing keyboard style :lol:
