Hammer Away PROTO found!

[antron]

Because this game was never sold no one on earth, except Sega, can claim to own a legal copy. Therefor this game cannot be played by anyone without both committing piracy and violating MAME's terms of use. Please lock thread.

Oh yeah, I love the smell of burning flashcarts in the morning.

[1up]

to whom it may concern,

i saw that Hammer Away was added to MAME v156 that was reelased a few days ago.

[Xyga]

It's been around and playable from a number of svn releases before 0.156

Protip to finding a 'rom': check the available games list in Mame, you will notice the rom name is also diplayed.
Then just write a '.zip' at the end of the name when you google it.

Anyway it's just a matter of days before various download places update their hosted romsets.

Quite a few already have. That being said, it's a rather mediocre game, imo. The different buttons for ground and air shots is more tedious than anything.

I was excited to try it after seeing the screenshots and reading the info, then I played it...

[ptoing]

Yeah, not surprising it did not ship, really.

Assign both to one button. Problem solved!

I'll try that out, though.

Also, was I the only one who saw the stage opening cinematic and went "great, my MAME revision is broken?"

So, uh... somehow Galloping Ghost Arcade got a copy of this:

There've already been a ton of conversions made, doesn't surprise me at all.

[Udderdude]

Ya know what .. that's pretty cool. >_>

By the way, did you lost any life in the "airport track" near the end and experienced that kind of bug i mentioned before?

I'm very sorry..I feel terrible - I totally forgot about this.

So, here we go again I got to the last level and made a savestate and tried it a few times in a few different places, and it appears that the bug doesn't happen here. If I die, it starts out slow, but it slowly goes back to fast speed, and the plane goes off (up) the screen, then my ship speeds up and passes the plane - which stays about mid-screen for a bit, then the game continues as normal.

bye for now & best regards,
