Arcade High Score Challenge - Round 10

Just home and it looks like the original cabal does not have the dive/roll option on joystick.

The version that does is actually a bootleg .

Seem it's due to it not being a jamma board so managacturers wired the test switch button as the roll . Not tested it out yet ...but version on my woddie cab has no roll /dive as it's jamma wired and running an 1000 in 1 locked down board that I can't access menus etc.

I downloaded the joystick world version on my egret mini and roll works fine . It's mapped to a button .

So question is , do ya wanna use original version with no roll or bootleg ...or if any of you have mapped roll to a button in msme on original .

Havent checked it out yet ...but I say we just fire ahead with the joystick version with roll.option...unless anyone wants and has a track ball . Then I'm sure the roll can be mapped to a button in mame

Interesting, you can get a track ball and paddle upgrade for the egret ...mmm may put that on the purchase list.

Ya know I've never played missle command as it really has to be played with a trackball,actually I've only ever used one on the rampart arcade cab

Paddle would be deadly for arkanoid also

You have one jay...give me yours. Sure ya gave me the egret . join this high score challenge and if ya beat Me I'll buy you one .

Ill give this a good go this evening .

On a side note I came across this obscure rare arcade cab game ,cabal clone

Looks mental and great craic .

Should have picked it

Interestingly TAD Corporation only lasted 5 years but they output some classics ...toki. Blood bros. The last game they released -heated barrell looks interesting aswell and one I've never come across ..mix between sunset riders and blood bros !

Ohhh just about , same level also.

Yeah a run lasts a while . Soldiers give you feck all points so I just roam about blowing up scenery and focus on the vehicles.

I was having trouble with first boss but then realised ya can shoot it's bombs in the air .

Whats the craic with the bushes ? I shoot them and they shake but never got anything from them

I also realised there is a roll and a dive, but in fairness not much different .

Also the grey lads ...it you kill them before they leave the screen ,two lads come to pick them up with a stretcher ...if ya pepper the. With bullets you get load of grenades. Doesn't seem to happen all the time though

RNG..yes. I thrive on it ,😂

It really ramps up from 2-3 onwards. They throw every thing at you with bullets everywhere

Well played sir...the (fingerless leather ) gloves are off.

Good good ...embrace the spite @Retr0gamer

I will channel my spite after that track and field debacle
