I got this board at the weekend and plumbed it into my cab yesterday and had a few goes... an opening gambit of 209800 but it's gonna be staying in the cab for the foreseeable so hopefully can keep my score creeping up.
Done! I didn't before as it's such a low score... I had a quick go at lunchtime and after a couple of terrible goes I got just over 200K again... this time reaching level 7 but obviously doing more dodging than shooting!
Just had 2 goes over lunch having not played since last score... got 362580 and to level 10... caught myself by surprise by getting to the first boss plane!
Playing on original PCB hardware in an Electrocoin Midi.
Finally finished 1942! 11,714,060. I had 5 lives left but just wanted to beat the final boss and not mess around. TGWR settings, proper hardware, complete with extra lives bug! I knew I could do it - I just had to put the time in.
