Today, John Cunningham (Weehawk on these forums) generously offered a $100 bounty for the highest score on a specific play challenge, for the MAME version of Asteroids. The original thread is
here, and the details are below.
Thanks to John, and good luck to those who will go for the bucks !
I'll offer a $100 (usd) prize for the recording scoring the most points on the first set of asteroids using MAME's "asteroid" ROMset posted to this thread by Sunday September 27, 2009 at 6 PM Central Daylight Time, . Must be WolfMAME .106.
When the last asteroid of the first set is destroyed, scoring is ended. We will refer to this as the Darren Harris Leechapalooza - Cover Your Asteroid - Saucer Hunting Extravaganza Challenge, or DHLCYASHEC.
Payment will be made by Paypal only.
Inp files must be zipped and posted as attachments to this thread. The zip file may have any name, but the inp file inside must be named
asteroid.inp. Also, inps must be posted within 24 hours of recording, and don't monkey with the date settings on your system or you will be disqualified by
Basement Cat, who is watching you play while Ceiling Cat is on vacation.
The souls of all disqualified participants become the property of Basement Cat for all eternity.Ties will be broken by earlier submission winning.
