Ehh...lets see. FAX - never played it , but if theres a serious mis-use of the pause button,well then I agree with Tim..i.e use of TG MAME only for this game.(posted 9405 days ago)OFF THE WALL - never played it , and after having a quick look at it, don`t particularly want to. The argument is that its` too easy ? It isn`t really the games fault. If it`s too easy, well then it`s easy for everyone ? Isn`t Pong a similar scenario ? I`ll abstain from this one.
TNZS- Definitely ban this technique as it`s possible to stay alive infinitely and amass a huge score ( I got 7m before doing this..ZZZZZZ)
ROBOCOP- Mmm, I`m slightly biased here as I currently have the top score on this, although let me state that I`m not worried about losing any LB points here. My argument to keep this technique is as follows: 1) Unlike GnG or TNZS, you can`t stay ( leech ) infinitely. You have a time limit for each level, so basically by using this technique , you are utilising the time allowed to get as much score as possible.( I think the maximum time to complete a whole game is around 45mins )
2) The technique was available in the arcades and isn`t a MAME bug
3) Some skill is involved in timing yourself to the last second, before going on to clear the level and amassing as much score as time will allow.
4) The current TG record ( arcade ) is 2m+ , so therefore Twin Galaxies accept scores using this method.
And if anyone wants to see the technique done on 3 different levels ( 3,4,and 6 ) and also another type of leeching ( not as much score- wise,but still gets you an extra 120k or so ), download my 5m score to see how it`s done.
Oh, QT, I`ll send you info on a cheat on Q-Bert which should be definitely banned ( check your e-mail ). It`s a long explanation , so I won`t post it here.
And that concludes the voting from the Irish Jury.........
