April 10 - The Monthly Mame Challenge Title Is...

April's title is.... Land, Sea, Air, Squad!!

ROMSet: LSASquad
Cabinet: Upright
Flip Screen: Off
Service Mode: Off
Difficulty: Easy
Bonus Life: 80000 150000
Lives: 3
Allow Continue: No

There's a sole score and it's maxed, but it doesn't mean it was easily done! This is also one of those gems at Funspot that gets a fair amount of play, so I figured, why not!

Challenge announced! Now get to submitting! ;)


Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Nice title ! It reminds me of Jackal and guerrilla War ! I'm at 200k right know, not submitted.

Hi.

A new answer about the eternal problem of tg settings...

Do you know why settings are at easy at tg whereas default mame settings are at medium ?

Dat indicate :
"- 0.84: Brian Troha improved dipswitches in LSA Squad. Added 'Difficulty' dipswitch.
...
Robert Mruczek holds the official record for this game with 208,550 points on June 3, 2001."


Maybe Robert could tell us more about this game ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the only TG member who has a record under this title for the MaMe emulator is Matt Hall with an incredible max score of 9,999,990 points. In 2006, Robert scored 402,850 points on the original arcade.

Anyone played Land, Sea, Air Squad yet ?

Tried it a couple times. No great results yet. Not a bad game.

1st Place - Pablo Tapia - 191,600

1st submission in and a not too shabby score! Is anyone else going to take up the challenge?

I know I am in June ;)


Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Working on a score !

I got a score waiting to be verified :) woot woot !

This game is irritating, when im recording an inp, i cant get past area 25, but when im just playing normally i got 350k grrrr.

If you are in a boat, tank or helicopter and it looks like youre gonna get hit, jump out, then jump straight back in, you get about 1 second where you cant die if you do that.

If your score is in the TG's "pending list", we could wait for a long time ^^

What is your score ?

1st Place - Martin Racine - 327,350
2nd Place - Pablo Tapia - 191,600


2 people in now! Are we going to see more?

327,350 points with a fast verification !

Submitted a ~215k score. I think I might have had it set on MEDIUM instead of Easy though since apparently it's set to medium by default, and I forgot to change dipswitch settings, so my submission might get dqed :s

Not likely a score would be dq'd for playing on a harder difficulty. It'd be a pretty rare title that'd make a case for it to occur. :)


Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

1st Place - Martin Racine - 327,350
2nd Place - Craig Gallant - 214,150
3nd Place - Pablo Tapia - 191,600

Another entry joins the frame!

Very VERY small turnout this month.. much less then I imagined. Ah well, one will never know what will happen next though.


Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

It's a pretty fun game, though also very unforgiving.

That 9,999,990 is pretty impressive.

Made a slight improvement to 215.6k. This game is tough.

Got a score waiting in the list !

1st Place - Martin Racine - 434,650
2nd Place - Craig Gallant - 228,200
3nd Place - Pablo Tapia - 191,600

And there you have it! The month's end and a bit of an improvement by Martin and Craig!

Thanks to all who have participated.
