Moon Patrol Description

Features very catchy background music and cute bouncing tires when the buggy is destroyed. Foreground and background terrain scroll at different rates giving the illusion of depth.

Yeah I'm paying attention.......lives 5

 

I'm fairly sure my frogger and moon patrol MGL hi scores were both 3 lives before?

Not complaining, just saying :061:s

 

Love this game, even if it is a bit of a memory game rather than pure skill.

But won't get much of a play, maybe a couple of games tomorrow before I go to work, then after work I'm off to act like a clown at the Golconda Circus festival :)

 

Fa%%k looks like life has got in the way of this MGL, I might have more time in winter?

Just a couple games to get going :)

 

The last time I played this in a comp the winning score was 243k and that drove me on, and I know Wingtip and Dkong also made big scores that time around too ;) So expecting some high scoring this time around too.

 

I reckon this is much more than just a memory game, this game for me has it all...Shmupping, inertia, precision, soft-touch controls, well paced learning curve (the advanced barrels especially stuffed me for ages) and probably some of the coolest music ever in a video game...

 

Just noticed Rat has already eclipsed his old MGL Record by day 2!:cool:

I assume you made it through the second challenging area ?(third stage)

 

From memory that stage just repeats now with no difficulty increase?

Championship 3 is where i got to, as far as i know it does repeat but i didnt notice, as i tend to be in a bit of a frenzy:lol Its the flying blue ships that mess me up as they are never the same when they drop bombs. It all depends on where you are or your speed as far as i can tell.

 

Cant manage 200K today though, it was a beer driven mission last night:D

Got to retract my score lads, wingtip(dickhead)vortex had dips set incorrectly. That being extra lives at 10K 30K 50K. I thought i had heaps of lives, sorry peoples:redface Back to the drawing board.

 

damn, and I thought I tried to make the dip settings extra visible this week too :laugh:

 

You can get back there ... playing with 5 starting lives and one extra to get, is the same as playing with 3 starting and 10/30/50 still have 6 total lives, long as you can make 50k :)

 

By the way. Anyone interested in playing in a side game of Battlezone ? Run it for the rest of the MGL. Highest score will get a special prize which I'll put up. Dunno what yet. Figured it will never be played in an MGL due to it's control setup. I"m sure some people can config something to play it. Green vectors are go. No points just fun.
