This game is a real effort with a mouse!

Score > 33930

It's a tough game playing with a mouse but you've at least beaten my hi-score <_< . I also play Arkanoid using a mouse. I wish I had an USB-spinner or something like that :)

Arkanoid - the game I thought started it all but that ended up being Breakout, right?

Lowering the sensitivity from the first post there helped a lot. With that, here's my score.

ExedExes - 53,720 - Settings verified as per OP using MAME32 0.141

I'm glad my little guide helped you out. It's a tough game however playing on keyboard :wacko:

You're right about Breakout. Arkanoid is based upon Atari's Breakout from the 70's.

Nice score !! Puts you in third place at Arkanoid and 5th overall :)

I wish I had a paddle, or something similiar to it. Too bad I couldn't find an Atari 2600 paddle with a USB tip on it. It would make this game playable. I played with a trackball and it is pretty tough.

Yeah my lack of control is what did this game in for me. Not many people have spinners on their cab (if I even build one, it will DEFINITELY have one ^_^) and the mouse controls were finicky trying to get the sensitivity right. So anyway, hats off to you for at least submitting a score for this game. I played it on the Atari 800, using a paddle as well. A spinner/paddle is the best controller for this style game by far.

Nice score anyway !! If any of you finds a USB paddle we can use for this game I'd very much like to know ;)

this game sucks.

I tried several times with joystick and arrow keys on keyboard, both were soft in the pants.

I've paid bills and had more fun.

I play this game with my mouse and I've adjusted the sensitivity a little bit. Here's guide if you want to give it a try > link

It still is a hard game to play without a spinner...I agree. It was however voted GOTM and that's why this game is part of our competition. Democracy is a bitch...LOL :P

I just found a screen snapshot I made back on August 3, 2013. Shortly after that, I lost my video. So I never followed up with submitting the score.

If I recall, this game was a spinner game. Not a bad score for using a joystick.

Welcome back Stephen :) ....a pretty nice score there B)

...I use a mouse playing Arkanoid but you really need a spinner to reach for that 100K+ score ;)

Tweaked my mouse settings a bit. Seems like I might have fixed it. This is a new best for me. Hint: Always grab the falling [ S ] when you can. You might hate that its slow, but it's a life saver, trust me!

Score: 72,660

Level: 5

Great score Han and I'm glad you're back posting hi-scores B)

I'd love to know how you have tweaked your mouse. Controlling this game is so hard without a spinner :wacko:
