Arcade Bandit: Rare ROMS Finally dumped

[FMonk]

I think adding even five seconds to the fourth board and beyond would make it slightly less punishing. Did you explain the order of the boards (I may have just missed this)? Sometimes they will go in what I consider the 'normal' order, but occasionally I'll get a fifth board mixed in as the third or fourth one. How many are there and do they loop? People could potentially marathon this thing if the fourth and fifth boards weren't so hard (or maybe it's the fifth and sixth I'm thinking of?)

I like it because it really has a classic arcade feel IMO, you can create your own patterns, but it's not exactly the same every time (mostly because of the random shooting). I wish the high score table font was more in line with the rest of the presentation though. Also, I had it windowed at work yesterday (go ahead and judge me, I know you guys are browsing from work too! ), and the high score table didn't line up with the window. I also wish there was a key to reset the machine without exiting out of the program. It sucks to screw up early on and have to wait until time runs out because you know there's no way you can finish the board.

Maybe we can get a version 1.1?

The trick to the hard level was driving me nuts. I finally figured it out a couple of days ago. I was getting easy levels then all of a sudden a hard level (Most of the time on level 3 but sometimes level 2). Then a easy level then back to the hard level. If you hit the Sundance cabinet while entergized you will get the hard level. So on Level 3 where I would normally hit the cabinet entergized I now wait 2 seconds till I am no longer entergized and it goes to the easy levels. Level 7 you get the hard level which I have passed twice. Level 8 is even harder. It is one of the earlier levels 4 or 5 but with no entergizer and more druggies. Hope this helps. Currently my HS is over 12,000. I can't wait to pass level 8 and see what level 9 is.

Oh awesome, thanks for the info. I'll have to work at it some more today

It took me a week to figure it out. I hit the cabinet and realized I wasn't entergized and I got the easy level. A light bulb went off in my head. LOL Let me know if you can't get passed the hard Level I can give some tips. Time to run errands so I can come back and play a few games (I am addicted. I just might make a dedicated cabinet for this).

Current high score is 13030. I did make a mistake, but I still wonder if it's even possible to pass the highest board I've gotten to.

So was there ever resolution to the sundance debacle

I just got done reading thru that thread. talk about overreaction. I would of just went and grabbed it too. All the cop and law talk was just ridiculous. It was clearly abandoned. Anybody that wanted it, should have just went and got it. Then kept thier mouth closed for a year or so and said they got it elsewhere

Now I have to see if I can beat that score or not. Mine is 12,000 something but not sure I was point pressing. Did you make it pass level 8 (second level with no entergizers)?
