Here it is, the final elimination round. This isn't going to be easy since 1/3 of the remaining players are going to be cut.... and to make things worse, this isn't an easy game. This Golden Age game was the first to use polygon graphics, and combines elements of maze games, platformers, and shoot-em-ups all into one. We've already smashed the world record multiple times on one game, and watched a mutant puzzle freak finish a difficult puzzle game, so I can't wait to see what you guys do on this one!

There is a pretty good website with more information about the game here:

NOTE: On the first and third levels, there is a transporter that can be used to warp up to Level 5, this is allowed. However, there's a trick that allows the player to start at Level 10 and get an even bigger point bonus. We have decided that for tournament purposes use of this trick to start on much higher levels will NOT be allowed. So to summarize: warping to levels 2-5 = ok, warping to level 6-10 = no. (on a somewhat related note, the current MARP high scores were done with a version of MAME with rather screwy emulation, as it allowed warps up to a much, much higher level with a much, much higher bonus. Those recordings should probably be DQ'ed, huh?)

NOTE #2: Because of apparent emulation changes in the game in 0.97u3, we will not allow wolf71 recordings for this game. If you are having speed issues with the game in wolf106, use wolf101 instead as it's much faster and nobody who's left in the tournament should have speed problems with it, I think.

Good luck to everyone!
