Is the Skip-a-level even possible on the first level?

Ended on Rack 4. Still trying to see the challenge level at Rack 5.

I plan to play this one some more. Curious if the game rolls or not. Seems pretty doable. I am almost 100% sure it rolls since TG has a 5M score posted. I'll get a pic up some other time

@Scrabbler -- are you using the fire button to accelerate? I keep my thumb pressed on the button almost the entire game.

I thought I was going to roll it that time! My only experience with this game is via MAME. It was just introduced to me in the HSC here a week or so ago. I have been playing this game on the MAME a good bit since then. I upped the WR at TGI for the 6 ship verriation over the weekend but I am almost passing that score now with only 3 ships. Check it out :P

I have to say this one is easier to pick up, even without the ability to shoot. A few things I noticed this last time I was playing. As the racks increase the "skip round bonus" increase. I want to say I got almost 20k for skipping round 18 or 19. After rack 20, the game loops. The bonus points drop back down to normal. I wasn't paying attention to the value of the fuzor though. Also, you get another "base" every 10 rounds. Why they call the ship in this game a base, I will never know.

Great score Bigbee :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I played this game quite a bit a couple months ago and the best I could do was in the 700k range.

Wow, just had the game of my life, 1,853,500!! Rack 92!!
Was seriously worried whether the rack number resets too, but didn't get far enough to find out. I thinnk that may be it for me on this one, my wrist and thumb are just about done. That's the first time in my life I've actually rolled a score.

LOL, well now it looks like someone turned in a MURDEROUSLY HIGH, Twin Galaxie type score,
very well done Fr0st.

I like how Solar Fox keeps track of how many racks you clear, so we know that score of 1 million (92 racks) is
rolled without even him saying so!

That is an amazing score! I got my own personal best, but it isn't even half of 1.8M.

718,400 (Rack 36)
