Dante's 7th Level of Heck III

Here are some popular quotes by Dante Ryuzaki mentioned across the Infernolab series.

#### *Stinkly Yours*

You guys all stink. No accounting for taste. But, I guess I can't argue with the pitiful thread activity...

I was out of town & don't always get forum notifications--sorry for my lack of posts.

Anyway, you guys still all stink for not liking Lot Tomb.

Stinkily yours,

-Dante

#### *Arcade secret*

Per the "history" text in my MAME install, I can usually get the 8k formation squadron on level 1 by flying east (and a hair north?).

But, I have yet to find the free-guy Time Pilot biplane on level 1, supposedly found by flying east to the water, & then flying north.

Anybody found it?

Thanks,

-Dante

PS--Gray\_Area & spoot are poopieheads!

#### *New score*

Not much more poo than my last posted score, but I achieved it 3 seconds faster than last time, so I'm more efficient. Hooray for me.

139,550.

-Dante

#### *Stinker score*

Here's yer stinkin' stinky screen grab of my least-stinky score on this stinky stinker of a game!

-Dante

PS--I used a stinky 4-way stick, too--didn't detract from the stink…

#### *Default! Default!*

The 2 sweetest words in the English language: De Fault!  De Fault!

I'll plan on posting a game later today--I've got a list of candidates & will pick one.

Wow, no pressure on me--I can't pick a stinkier game than Nibbler!

-Dante

#### *What....ev.....er....*

What.

ev.

Er.

#### *Feathers for the ugly*

I might ruffle some feathers...I like keeping feathers all pressed down & neat & orderly.

"Jasonbar, what is good in life?"

"To crush mimic. To see him driven before you. And to hear the lamentation of his women...because it makes me feel better after being trounced by 3 or 4 other guys..."

Mimic: oh, hohoho It's on sonny-boy! I've got a case of "ugly" for you (I don't know what it is yet, but I definitely got it!)

Oh yeah, well I eat cases of ugly for breakfast!

(yum)

#### *Absolute Peanuts*

Every other move you make in the game is absolute peanuts compared to the big ones.  Can't make it past level 8 yet…

If you don't trust me, you can take James' word for it. This is one of the awesomest awesomes that has ever awesomed.

Is there an overlay whatchamacallit file that I can get to use on my MAME installation?

#### *Normal Priorities*

Busy week(s) for me, & playing Bosconian was probably at the very bottom of my priorities list...just below cleaning the toilets…

Suweet!

#### *Commando Confirmed*

It will be Bionic Commando. Never really played it, but there's a bit of buzz around it.

Start practicing. I'll try to post the new thread tonight.

#### *Killing time over Grobda*

Yes, Grobda!  ROM name grobda.

OK, so I like to be different...

Way back when, when I had an early version of MAME32 on my laptop, I was killing time in an airport & fired up a strange game with a strange name: Grobda.  I loved it.

Quirky, rare NAMCO game.  Tank game with an odd control scheme, but it somehow works.

Also, this is a pretty hard game, so nobody should end up doing any 40-hour diaper-required marathons on this game...

#### *Living under a Rock*

Had my monitor repaired.

Opportunity to play 2 quick games on my cab.

OK, I'll go back under my rock now. :]

#### *No Love for Me?*

Bump.  No love for Atari Video Pinball?

Or no love for Jasonbar?

#### *Yoink Yoink*

I have a handful of games for which I'd like to yoink said artwork.

Was jumping onto the last skinny bridge of pattern 2 when a booger snuck up right under me & got crunched...about 1.3 seconds from finishing pattern 2.

I'll report back after dinking with it.

One of the best games evah!

#### *A real booger!*

I don't think I can break past this barrier...though I \*am\* knowing the locations & patterns of the enemies much better, so you'd think I'd be getting more betterer...

Ugh, can't kill the 4-armed fist-shooting boss.  He's a real booger!

Sorry, I'm just grasping at straws here...

Good luck.

The gun now worked, but it was herky jerky & would often cut out & couldn't keep the accuracy that it could with nothing between the gun & bars.

Thanks for answering my stupid questions.  :]

PS--what's with all you guys pulling a jasonbar & popping up scores at the last minute!?!?  I'm simultaneously proud, flattered, & annoyed!  ;P

#### *Emotionally scored*

It's all good.

\*sniff\* I love you guys! \*sniff\*

#### *Shocker*

Wow, all electrified & stuff! Impressivepants!

Bumpy bump for a machine with a smoothy smooth playfield.

Meatier Meteor still FS/FT

The cradling kablooey isn't uncommon in modern Sterns--I'm not a unique weirdo.

### *Howling Heels*

Last-minute entry to really shake up the standings.

The pressure is too much. I need to keep refining my game to stay ahead of all the wolves nipping at my heels. Intense competition this time around!!!

### *Just say nada*

I'll exercise the old: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

### *Rolling the fish*

Had me a good game: 30,700.

Roll those fish over as much as you can--I got them up to 6400 points on the first screen.  That's pretty much where all the points are...

Also, that paint brush certainly isn't as responsive as the Pac games are--it's hard to perform quick back-and-forth maneuvers.  I think I'm liking this game less the more I play it...

### *Calendars are tricky*

1: Calendars are tricky.
2: I meant Monday the 25th, since I started this on Mon July 11, but since it's now late on Sun the 24th, that's not much advance notice, so I've changed the end date to be Tues the 26th.
3: I'm not getting notifications when others post in this thread, for some reason.
4: 2 words: 3-day Vegas Bachelor Party...ouch...
Commas

This game needs commas.

And I squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak into 2nd (after A LOT of effort today).

What a tease...ouch...so close...

SHUMP!

Without thread derailment, I had a very good excuse.  I was in Korea & Japan for 2.5 weeks.  Went to so many arcades in Japan.  Apart from being deafeningly loud, they were pure joy.  Except for some of the newer games with non-standard cabinets, most games were fighters & SHMUPs.  I played a whoooole lotta new SHMUPs, even one with a "SHMUPs Skill Test" mode!

So, I've got my SHMUP game on!

PS--played a couple of Astro Blaster games last night before Son of Phoenix--got only ~10k.  Those randomly-moving aliens are a bear!

Hooray for me.  I'll pick a newish game to please the youngsters.  Give me a couple of days--I'm swamped!

OK, time to give you guys a kick in the pants.  As per my norm, I rocked this game on the very 1st try & then, as I learned the game & its nuances, I never once got close to that first score...

305,210, baby!

### *Pengo Wengo*

Tough tough game--I got in the hi 30s on my 1st 2 tries.

I used to own this but never played it enough to figure it out.

Ack, the music on this version is weird!

Control can be tricky.

OK, enough complaining.

It's still a classic & a great pick.  If I have time & patience, I'll have a go at it, but I'd probably just rather refine my Popeye skills...  =D

Whoops, what can of worms have I opened??!! ;D

-Jason

### *King of Dragons*

Pretty forgiving game. Difficulty doesn't ramp up too quickly. Bosses aren't quarter-eaters. Doesn't get repetitive. Rather enjoyable.

368,900 with Cleric, 115u2, 3 lives, difficulty 3 (normal), 100k & 450k free guys.

-Jason

### *I return with more items!*

Howdy,

Just when you thought it was safe to come back to the forum...more stuff for sale!!! AAaaiiiieeee!!!!
