DKong Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thought I had never played this game before , but that first screen seems vaguely familiar. Seems to play OK on the keyboard, time to give it a go on the cab:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 heehee this is one of my nominations :) Pretty basic little game, only three screens to learn but they are quite different. 2nd screen is my fave and there are lotsa bono's to be had for players who are looking. Expect to see some big scores on this one, given the talent in this comp I reckon someone will get a million or above - probably Fringert, the 'Rain Man' of retro video games ? :lol Game on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) 2,373,920 Decent little game, weird at first but getting more coordinated now, don't know about a million though, it gets a bit fast further along... EDIT: OK, screenshots are of - 1 million part 45 - 2 million part 88 - part 100 - and death at part 104.

ostybeef Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 i had never heard of it before and happened to get a dr micro board in a pack of unworking boards. i had a real hard time trying to find anything out about it over the net and started to think that the tag on it was wrong but then i found it on a small site in some corner of the net i might go have to try find a mame version and have a game and see what its like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) 5,081,070 - part 208 It would be a marathon effort to get a million I agree - but it's definitely doable when you see what happens after set 5 (or 6, cant quite remember) ;) Edit: Score update. Mashed my previous best on this game, this MGL thing really is stretching me :) 2nd Edit: 2 million + :D:D Final score update: Had the best game of my life on anything - crazy score that took almost 4 hours of play and left me in kind of a daze once I had finally lost my last man, at part 208. I point pressed almost every time 2nd screen to a certain extent then bailed. Once I figure out how to get INP files working on my multi-game cab setup, am going to do it all again and submit it as Twimn Galaxies lists 1.2mill as their #1, and MARP lists 3.3mill as their #1. Could do it again I think without trouble. So the pics: 1: 1st rollback, Part 41, 1,019,520 2: 2nd rollback, Part 78, 2,011,030 3. 3rd rollback, Part 119, 3,022,000 4. 4th rollback, Part 162, 4,007,020 5. 5th rollback, Part 204, 5,002,790 6. Death, part 208, 5,081,070 Dkong, I took heaps more pics of the score climbing as I went along, so if you want further verification over and above than these 6 'milestone' pics, just ask I'll send you the whole lot. Have pics of the Parts rolling back from 99 to 00 twice but this site only allows 6 max uploads. Edited September 28, 2009 by Jed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKong Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 A bit addictive this one, just realised I can move the platforms on level one <doh>, now getting stuck on level 2 point pushing ;) Maybe the first incarnation of a Mega man type of game 1 . The Dr Evil 2. he makes Robots 3. you have a little man fighting the Evil :laugh: We need more info on this game!! Great game, love it, well nominated Jammasized, bonus midweek MGL hugs to you:p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game, love it, well nominated Jammasized, bonus midweek MGL hugs to you:p Glad you're enjoying it! Dr Micro was a fave cocktail of mine back in the early 80's - a 'goto' machine when I was low on 20's as a high school wagger :laugh: Updated my score - I reckon I can push a million by next Monday - hopefully... I agree there's not much info on this game at all on the net, KLOV has nothing which is pretty rare. PS Dkong dont point press too much on the 2nd screen - you invariably lose more lives than it's worth, as you probably have found out, chasing those bonos! I usually point press the bee-jesus out of it the first time through, then only take a few of the animals for the rest of the time, just keep getting through the screens instead, those floating things can be nasty. Hint: Once you have killed the scientist 5 times, you're in for a very pleasant surprise. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything good about it :( I'll always give a game a chance & I have had about 10 games, if anything i'm disliking it more everytime I play! 120k so far, I'll give it another go on the W/E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I see what Jammasized is hinting around at now, I just cracked 700K and I guarantee a million or more out of me before Monday. Score updated on first page... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Nice one Kane, I'll stand by my original statement, could be a few million plus scores on this one? By the way - the #1 spot on Twin Galaxies for this game is around 1.1 million (A guy in South Aussie no less, Robert Macauley, has heaps of big scores on TG for many many games) - anyone know this guy or is he already here :) If I could do an INP recording on my multi-cab setup I'd love to, as I'd love to have a crack at the TG high. :D PS That top score on TG is 100% completed. So it seems the game only goes through 3 times till it ends based on that. Part 45 is the final screen ? :unsure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) There are scores of 3mil+ input recordings don't count on TG. Check again, dr micro *mame* record is 1.1mill, inp files are the only method accepted for submission of mame high scores. Edit: You could also have an offical TG referree witness, but for most an INP file would be easier :) Edited September 25, 2009 by Jed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Check again, dr micro *mame* record is 1.1mill Check these score out then... http://replay.marpirc.net/r/drmicro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Huge! I'm only interested in the Twin Galaxies high though myself :laugh: You gotta wonder why these kinds of scores aren't in TG, what's up with that ? Also a bit confused that 1.1mill says 100% completed on TG whereas these scores of 3 mill would go well beyond 100% ? :unsure 4 million now my quest then :lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
