He's been absent so far from this mgl, but maybe this will bring him back :)

 

Come think of it, i'm pretty sure this was someone else's nomination..

 

You're right, it was Dkong who nominated this one.

 

Had a couple of games already, but the scores are just too pitiful to even post at this stage. Just can not get my figures working tonight and my desktop PC keyboard is doing some real funky things too :cry

You could probably play one or two games an be assured that you will be top 3 :laugh: I was actually hoping your internet might be down for the next two weeks and not noticed that this game was nominated :lol

Quick couple of games, played like an amateur:(

 

Yeah, real amateur score that one :p

 

This game was the first arcade game I remember looking at the graphics and saying "holy shit" :cool: The quality of the backdrops blew me away :cool:

I'm done with this for tonight. I'll give it a bash in the morning when my brain is fresh :) I'm sure my best score is around 600-800K

 

Been at least 20 years since I played this on a real machine, I'm sure it's easier on a cab than it is on a keyboard like most games.

My big scores are done on the keys man:cool: This 800K score was a joystick effort.

 

That's interesting. There is a stage where I seem to remember being able to get all three bombs going right at the start (level 4?) by hitting the button and hovering, but I can't do it on the keyboard :confused:

Those DIPs settings aren't matching mine, I don't have a 10,000 "Initial High Score", I have "Bonus Life" instead, what's the setting for that?

Getting to a million is relatively easy if you work out the bomb sequence. The next million is the hard yards:o

Set bonus life to none. Extra men are achieved with the special coin settings.

Thanks Gordon Gekko. :laugh: I haven't played this since the arcades, easily 25 years ago, and even then I barely touched it. Always knew I was going to have to learn this game one day...

 

Is this an 8 way ? I didn't realise there was a second button on terra cresta till after 6 tonight. :redface Took a break to grab a cuppa - came back to see the game in attract mode showing me sights that genuinely had me going wtf?!! *facepalm

Wow, probably one of my worst arcade games is Bombjack.

 

It just annoyed the shit out of me at the arcades with it's nice bright colours and short (for me) game times.

 

I quickly learned my 20c was better served elsewhere.

Never played this one before either! :P But after a few goes last night I could only muster around 35k . I think it is time do do some research and learn the techniques :) Still I will spend most of my time this week on Jungle King.. determined to take that one out!
