I'm also unsure about my DIPS. Without loss of life, should I have this many lives left?

I am concerned I'm playing with 6 lives, and everyone else has only 3.

 

2 Lives and 150k for a bonus. This was a big change to my standard ArcadeSD setting.

I saw a picture of Billy Mitchell and Walter Day in Australia. Likely at the same tournament as @RMacauley ?

 

Question is:

If Billy Mitchell was playing in the MGL - would you trust his screenshot?

I’d like to ask you gamers for your thoughts. Some gamers like @John73 and @Foot played in the same tournament. Some may not be aware of the issues, so you can watch this for research. All of his scores were removed from Twin Galaxies and Guinness. The Donkey Kong Forum removed his DK score.

All gamers here, please feel free to post your view. This will not derail this thread, as TNT is probably appropriate and your scores will be posted. We’d be interested to hear your thoughts :)

You've got your DIPs set correctly - you start with 2 lives, and earn extras at 150k, 300k, 450k, and 600k...no extras are awarded after that.

Only 3 days to go until this game is closed. Every point counts.

 

:)

 

Yikes- looks like I need a lot of practice to jump up in placement for this game!

Good playing everyone!

My .02 cents.

I like Billy Mitchell. I think he is a great gamer and probably one of the greatest.

I don’t think he purposely cheated. I think he did use Mame as is evidenced but I don’t think he went so far as to stitch files together etc.

I’d trust his screenshots for the MGL but I want world records recorded and observed!

Here is an excellent article about the BM cheating investigation.

I particularly like the summary - "Billy Mitchell is a cheater and a liar. He will tell you he's not, but that is what a cheating liar would say."

If you listen carefully, time ticks, depending on what type of watch you have. And if you don’t have a watch, well there isn’t anything you’ll see. But one thing is certain, time to improve your score on Mr. TNT is fast running out. Like 1 day to go until this game is closed, and that’s not counting the ticks.

Big monitor FTW.

 

I've uploaded a video for most of my previous submissions, but I don't see much point in this one. If anyone is desperate to see me do exactly the same thing 200+ times, I have an inp recorded with WolfMAME 0.202

Today is Saturday, which is game-grinding day, and I needed a lot of time for this one. Brutally boring though after some time though, I'm afraid - I will be seeing that grid pattern in my sleep for awhile. The one-life track is a little better at least, and that's the WR I was really pleased to get - managed 18.7 million on that one (this run is 15.6 million).

 

Submitted to TG - you can watch the run here: https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/208225

Day 17 of 17.

 

Final Results ...

Very rarely played in the arcade, we had plenty of outstanding scores on Mr. TNT throughout the last 17 days, and the last day proved to be the most impressive. If you can work this game out, there are plenty of points to be earned that boost your score tremendously. DaLar, RMacauley, creech, bigredbird, RichyS and The Evener placed from 5th to 10th place respectively, playing really well for scores from 3.8 million down to 519K. ILLSeaBass scored a cool 10 million points for 4th place. Dazzer_ scored a few million more for an excellent 13.6 million points and 3rd place. Ivanstorm1973 upped the ante even more for an outstanding 17.6 million points and 2nd place.

 

Congratulations to Jason Vasiloff for winning Game 7, with a new world record score of 32,735,540 points. That’s an amazing score and game play. He submitted his game to Twin Galaxies for verification as well … https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/208225

Well we are down to the final two games in MGLXL. Both are not well received by some gamers in this tournament, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles … when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Both games require great skill and strong resolve. If they were easy, then where’s the challenge? Good luck to everyone.

 

:)
