• Ikari Warriors World Record Confusion

    Hello, this is old topic and confusions about high score are maybe cleared by now, but ...

    I played this game a lot when I was a kid and it was a hard game. I was wondering is it possible to beat it with one coin or even without losing a life. Youtube is full of videos of old arcade games beaten with one coin, but I couldn't find IKARI there. At the same time, thanks to emulators, I learned to play game pretty good myself and found that it's not so hard to beat game when you learn it. Eventually I found two videos on youtube where uploaders beat game with no life lose; one video is played on emulator (MAME), second video is played on original cabinet. For this topic it is interesting the first video:



    In the comments, there is exchange of opinions by the uploader and youtuber about high scores in this game. Person that comments game explains how to achieve scores above 1.7 million points. He even uploaded image of his last attempt where he scored 1 699 500 points. He claims that if you are willing to sacrifice life's you can reach score above 1.7M.

    I have never vent for high score run, but his arguments sounds true. And after I believed that this game was impossible to be beaten with one coin and when I learn it to beat it myself, now I believe that there are people that can achieve such high scores.
