| General Rules: |
Play with default settings unless otherwise specified. If the ROM set is not mentioned, play the parent ROM. No use of trainers, cheats, saved game files, emulator save states or other emulator advantages. No use of code modifications that give the player an advantage over other players. 1 player only. No continues. In-game/internal autofire is only allowed if a game has it (enabled through hard or soft DIPs). External/MAME/cheat-based autofire is not allowed. It is discouraged and may lead to voters not accepting your score to - excessively point farm - use glitches or other game exploits You can use any emulator you want (Retropie, rain, neo geo, Coinops, Antstream, handhelds,...). If specific emulators or versions are restricted, it will be mentioned in the Specific rules. For Top 3 we encourage (but NOT mandatory) to provide: a) A full video with DIP Switches to be shown in the video (at the start or at the end of your performance). If DIP Switches are not available, Service Menu should be used instead (at the start of your performance). If no difficulty settings is available on your game, you still have to show either DIP switches or service mode showing this (if not mentioned in the specific rules). OR b) An INP file. Please state your MAME version in the comments. And add an URL where the voter can download your .inp. (We currently have no way to store those files on the server, but it is on the roadmap). For INPs: o We encourage to also show the DIPs during your video play. o Delete NVRAM before recording/viewing. Many arcade games that MAME emulates save some information (like high scores) in non-volatile ram (NVRAM), which by default MAME saves in the nvram subfolder. For some games (not all) the RNG is affected by NVRAM, so an .inp file recorded with non-empty nvram won't replay correctly on anyone else's system. o To record INP file, you require Wolfmame: You can download it here : https://github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame/releases (or on MARP). o Record one run gameplay when using INP. |
| Specific Rules: | Play the game in 1 player mode with default settings |

Playing the 1979 arcade game Lunar Rescue using the Antstream streaming retro-gaming service. The game was released by Taito and runs on a 2MHz Intel 8080 motherboard, the same system Taito used for their Space Invaders and Space Invaders Part II games.
The game is commonly overlooked in game history, being overshadowed by it's forebears and competing products from other companies, especially as it was released at the same time as Asteroids, another game that dominated the arcades. This is a shame as it is actually a fun game and has that elusive 'I Can Do Better - Just One More Go' quality, although the asteroid strikes can be pretty unfair. I certianly found it far more addictive than expected.
Time stamps:
00:30 Game setup in the Antstream app.
00:36 Game loaded.
00:39 Game start.
03:14 Mission 1 complete, all 6 astronauts rescued.
03:44 Extra life awarded for reaching 3,000 points.
06:04 Mission 2 complete.
06:55 First life lost. Successfully dodged the asteroid, but this put me straight into the fire of one of the UFO's.
07:02 Second life lost - really made a mess of that descent.
08:07 Third life lost, missed the platform!
08:48 Fourth life lost, dodging the asteroid put me in the line of fire again :-(. Gave Over. Final score 7,310 points.
08:54 Initials entry.
09:18 Quitting back to the Antstream app.
09:25 Antstream score board, 9th place with 7,310 points.
