A really tough little arcade shmup here. My best is 64,160 after about 7 attempts. I will have another go another day.


Re: Tiger Heli (MAME)
We played this in the Retro League, and I got 99,510 which was 3rd from last! The best was 714,800!!
I couldn't believe how hard it was, and how badly I was doing at it.

Are you guys playing it on slow or fast, the majority of us in the league played it on fast.

Please tell me how to change it to fast, it was a bit painful.felgekarp wrote:Are you guys playing it on slow or fast, the majority of us in the league played it on fast.
Re: Tiger Heli (MAME)
When you are in the game, press Tab to get the menu up, then choose Dip Switches, then change Player Speed to Fast.
I still thought it was far too slow even like that.

Re: Tiger Heli (MAME)
That (horrible!) game is basically one tough memory test, but having said that I got about 183K the last time I played it in a comp (on fast).

Re: Tiger Heli (MAME)
Got 107K tonight.
Still loving this game

Re: Tiger Heli (MAME)
just saw the thread.. so while on my MAME night, downloaded for a quick spin.. on my 5th go I racked up over 100,000 with the player speed on fast
Pretty good game!! those tanks & little boats are pretty sneaky with how fast they can aim to shoot at you.. my first 2 runs were pretty sad.. like didnt even get through the 1st 20 seconds haha. Awesome retro feel to the game with the short shot range and nice chunky sprite visauls =)From Game&Watch to PS2 and Arcade in between, its been so much fun every single step of the way.

I can't access their site at work, but could someone post up what the Twin galaxies Dip Switch settings are?
