Hmm, I couldn't get Rescue to work. When it loaded up it would just go to what appeared to be some kind of test/diagnostics screen. The joystick and button inputs were registering but I couldn't get out of that screen to play the game. Anyone else seeing this?

I'd never heard of Cybattler before this tournament, but it's a very cool game. Quite symbolic of the 90's in that it's basically a beat-em-up/shoot-em-up hybrid. Scores forthcoming shortly...

Yeah, that's the playchoice rom i got from romnation.net
It took awhile to figure out how to get the game to start.

Sorry, man. I have to toss your score because it wasn't played on the correct ROM. Make sure you download the Green Beret ROM to get Rush N Attack to work.

No problem.
I also have the playchoice 10 Gradius.
I guess that wouldn't count either if we played that one?

The ROMs have to match up with what is documented

OK, here is my score for Donkey Kong 3 using medium settings on MAME
