shadow460 Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) You're on the way back from a round trip to Sirius, snacking on rehydrated pizza and soda pop when suddenly SPANG! Something has struck your ship! Your ship's hyperspace computer has made an error and miscalculated the return vector.

The following tips can help you preserve your ship and score high: Fire first at the asteroids closest to your ship. Then fire at the fastest moving target approaching you. Fire at the saucers last. You don't need to move your ship forward to play. you can stay in one place and fire, turning on hyperspace to protect yourself from asteroid collisions. However, learning to move your ship can extend your playing time by three to four ships per game. Other hints: Use a CX-40 or a Radica Space Invaders stick. With the CX-40, when the asteroids aren't right on you, rotate toward a target, then use your right hand to tap the fire button and unload. Try practicing unloading shots by tapping on a solid surface four time in a row as quickly as possible, over and over. This will increase your ability to fire faster in the game.

Cybergoth Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi there! Hey, shouldn't we already have Ms. Pac? Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yes. Go ahead and post a score for that and I'll update it when I get home. Games will begin on the cherries board, just like the arcade. I don't remember right off if it has the novice/standard/expert settings--if so, set it to expert and to begin on the cherries board. Sorry I missed that post last night. Just make sure to mark the score as Ms Pac Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) It's a show gone wrong. There's poor Pac-Man, watching his love perform, when suddenly, his enemy Blinky approaches, ties him up and goes after her. Blinky calls his own girlfriend, Sue, and two of his buddies to join the chase. Pac-Man has asked for your help. You must now be the guide and save his true love, Ms. Pac-Man! Game Information: This week's game: Namco's Ms. Pac-Man Controllers supported: ProLine Joystick, CX-40 Difficulty Switches: n/a Game Mode: One player cherries Scores may be posted in this thread until December 20th at approximately 10 PM Central Time. Next week's game will be chosen by popular vote from the following: Joust, Double Dragon, Rampage, and Commando. Simply vote in the poll for next week's game.

Don't let her take the energy pills too early, or she'll lose her only weapon against the ghosts. Wait until they start to gain on her. Then she can tease them toward the pill before she gobbles it up and turns the chase on them. Remember: Each maze has escape tunnels that lead offstage and back again. They could save her life!

Cybergoth Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi there! Is there an approved emulator for the 7800 HSC's? I'm using MESS, I had no problems playing any HSC entry so far. Greetings, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwierer Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) 112,740 (level 14 doesn't change colors like the arcade) Getting better with the keyboard. Any further and I'm going to have to switch to my console. -Jeff Edited December 18, 2005 by jwierer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Any emulator is fine in this HSC. The only stipulation is that the original ROM must be used, i.e. the .bin or .a78 files must be the same as those used in a typical Atari 7800 cartridge. Most 7800 games have those files available from the AA database, the exceptions being Rampage and Double Dragon. I'm not sure right off if those are available, but they may still carry copyright protection since Activision's still around. If we do any homebrews, since I will speak to the author first, I'll make sure a ROM is available for use. Additionally, if you use multicarts, or burn your own carts, that's fine, too, as long as that ROM is the same as what's in a typical cart.

Great. I'll be switching to emu7800 v0.60.
