Welcome to the Highscore challenge this week. I thought it was time for a "platform" game and I know a few members have been asking for a challenge in this game.
Link to Game of the week:
http://www.neogeo...;pid=10319
The rules:
* Play whichever version you like: AES / MVS / MAME.
* Difficulty: 4 MVS / AES - MVS setting)
* Lives: Default setting (6 lifebars)
* Credits: 1
* Multiple runs as training is of course allowed. Also if you manage to surpass your previous score then just post it and IŽll update the first post.
* No cheating with any kind of UNI-BIOS is allowed.
* No cheating in Emulators such as autofire, Pausing or infinite lives are allowed
(or any other effect you can use in emulators to make the game easier, score higher etc)
* Photographic proof is not needed as I believe that we are all honorable people. If you like though you can attach a photo or a mini-clip with your highscore.
* State which platform you played this game on.
* The goal: Highest score possible.

Got around to playing Magician Lord on MAME. I was defeated on Stage 3 with 67,310 points. Have you simply boosted your score Priest by defeating those pesky harassing winged imps multiple times or have found and collected a lot of treasure? |

Welcome to ML challenge Will
Well a little bit of both The stages in Magician lord isnŽt completely linear. (start on the left side and finish on the right side) so If you have some energy to spare there are some "big" treasures to be found. And since the enemies keeps comming back to life you can boost your score this way too, by killing them again (somewhat).

This is my first real proper go on this game.
23,350 Stage 2 (Start)
I like this game more now I have tried it properly 
Mini-Reviews of films I have just watched : http://richwatmov...press.com/
"I remember getting a letter from a schoolgirl who had paralysis on one side of her body. Her mum had given her a copy of Oaarina of Time to keep her occupied in the hospital, and she was inspired by Link not to give up. She started to put more effort into rehab, and she regained the ability to walk again. I realised from that letter the power of games to move people, and the importance of never making a game halfheartedly."

ATTENTION WILL AND RIKO (and everyone else which plan to enter this challenge)
As Merlin pointed out to me (THANKS) there is two versions of default setting of this game lifebars either 4 or 6 lifebars. Depending on which version you play (AES/MVS/CD).
I played the AES version with 6 lifebars as maximum and as I now have clarified in the first post of this thread thats the version we from now on compete in.
If any of you (RiKo or Will) have played the version with 4 lifebars then post here or PM me and IŽll correct the scoreboard.
Sorry about this.
Good luck

I have never had experience in AES or Neo-Geo CD emulation. That particularly version on MAME was none other than the Arcade version. Yes I did have 4 lifebars, but if you tinker with the Dip Switches you can set the arcade game to have 5 lifebars. |

Will if you get the Magician Lord (set 2) rom (maglordh) and use it with Mame then you'll have the 6 unit lifebar. Also you'll have a rather nice intro sequence that you wouldn't have got otherwise. The restart points are different with the set 2 rom as well.
I had a few quick attempts and made a lot of mistakes!
Merlin: Score: 63,720. Stage: 3 Played on: Final Burn Evolution. |

As you may have noticed I have done some changes on the scoreboard as I think that those of you that played the game with "only" 4 lifebars rank higher than us that played ML with 6 lifebars. So I have deleted my gold medal and given the first place to Will and the second to RiKo. There are now 2 scoreboards in this game depending on which version you have played.
I hope everyone agrees with this...

Yes I agree with you Priest. Thanks. I'm going to submit scores for both halves of the challenge. Here's a new score for the '6 llifebar' challenge:
Merlin: Score: 169,350. Stage: 2 Played on: Final Burn Evolution.
I've got some new tactics now. I don't bother trying to get to stage 3. I just concentrate in raking in as many points as possible in the large shaft in the Evil Mine stage. You can raid the three treasure rooms on the way down and then get the pile at the bottom. Then I just keep fighting enemies at the bottom until I die and go down the shaft again. You should have enough points by this stage to get an extra life so you can do this four times. |

Thanks Priest.
Here's a few more scores:
4 lifebar= Merlin: Score: 81,580. Stage: 2 Played on: Final Burn Evolution.
6 lifebar= Merlin: Score: 260,270. Stage: 3 Played on: Final Burn Evolution.
Because the restart points are different you can't use the mine shaft trick when playing the '4 lifebar version'.
I absolutely hate those flying creatures in the game! They always appear at the worst possible moment and are very difficult to avoid.

After a hard struggle I've reached Stage 3 with 97,530 points. If I there weren't a time limit, I would have doubled those points on pesky imps and such like. |

Good job Will. I certainly can't play Magician Lord that well. That game is brutally difficult much like the Megaman games. |
