Ed Oscuro - 509,900 - MAME Plus! x86-0.135r4465-20091104 Autofire ON / 4

I got to the rocket launchers (again). Been working on this one occasionally for a while. It really profits from autofire, to the point where it feels pointless to play without because you'll just wear your hand out and still miss most point opportunities (in addition to tanks that appear where it's suicidal to try to take them out with a front-firing sidecar). I have a beef with the inconsistent way it treats enemy fire around buildings, and it likes to kill you with a single shot from the side when you have two orange sidecars; I recall dying in the same places for the same dumb reasons (and then it's to recover from dying in the desert).

One of the easiest 1CCs ever (if anyone wants to add another to their list :| ). I never wrote down my scores on this one tho...

BKD - 600,400 - PCB

I used to love this game for the NES back in the day when I was about 6 years old.

I bought the PCB a few months ago but never tested it out because my JAMMA connection is a little too small for some reason and I was too lazy to do anything about it. Well, I busted out the Dremel and alleviated that problem. This is a really fun game. Probably one of my favorite PCBs I have, and of course it's the cheapest! ($50), oh the irony...

damn. I thought it was on the easy side, but not enough to just breeze through with a no miss. I've yet to 1CC it yet.

Updated the OP, sorry for slacking...won't happen again.

Yes, this is one of my only 1CCs ever, probably why I love it. :)

I found this in a bowling alley in Berlington Washington. I didn't have time to play it though.
My lord, I have come for you.

I got this PCB for my cab now as well!
Turns out I'm not as good as I was on this 30 years ago. It feels much freakin' harder than I remember as well. It's not just that I got the bomb button above the fire button (yeah, don't ask).
Now I got 562,300 so I moved up one spot at least.

Not giving up until I've got the top spot. :)
