I'd prefer if everybody used the same version. If you download the version of MAME (v139) linked in the first post, you should be able to run any ROMset posted in this competition because the ROMs come from that set and I test them all before posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'd like to play Robotron. Is it ok if I use MiSTer? Or do I have to use MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I don't know what the romset is on my MiSTer, so I just used mame. First round of tries: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First round of tries: Is there a way to go into the service menu on your MiSTer? I've never used one of those but I know it can be done in MAME by pressing the F2 key. If you can get into the service menu and verify default difficulty is 3 then you've got the correct romset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 For Robotron ports, here's the Atari 5200 version. It's pretty janky - especially if you play it right after playing the original - but I can see how having this at home in the early 80s would have been pretty cool. It even allows dual-stick controls. Next up, the PICO-8 version released only a few months ago. I was not able to try it with dual-stick controls so I don't think I have a very good feel for how much fun this version could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 1944. Man, this game is raw. And difficult. Came out after some great bullet hell Titles. No fancy power ups, rather it mimics the 1987 smash hit Sky Shark's power ups by simply adding forward shooting missiles. The Boss Battles wear you out, leaving your shooting finger with no feelings at all. The Power Loop never gets tired. I hit my goal of getting to the 7th after a dozen tries. 3747460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Turbo Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I’m in no condition to fire up the 8 bit, but my favourite soundtrack was level two of Super Mario Bros. Duh nuh nuh na nuh na. Second would be the Tetris music. Many a poops were spent playing Tetris on Gameboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oh, crap I snoozed this one! Time just flew by, oh well. I immediately thought of Double Dragon NES for the soundtrack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
