Arcade Game Challenge #47: Roto or no Roto... we're playing Make Trax!

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:
  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)


Columns- Score to beat: D300 91902

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:

*As you can see, I have better penmenship than Roto.

Funny, I just finished updating the website and was about to start this thread. I said in the last one that I was cancelling Comcast, but that's not going to happen now. Everything stays the same, and the next one should start on time

Nice job devilshalo! Thanks for saving me some time

You missed the mini-drama. People were complaining that they couldn't talk about playing emulators on their Sony PSPs, but we're allowed to link to roms. So I agreed to quit hosting the roms and we haven't heard a peep about it since, though we also haven't had one new person make a post either. Sorry, but you gotta find the roms yourself

OK, I'll put this thread out of its misery. Columns was a ripoff machine. It goes way too fast.


Pipe Dream --> Power Spikes
Columns --> Dynamite Dux

Which is why I don't play anymore. Not that I was playing seriously when the ROMs were easy to get.
