How is it for Centipede?

[Buzzin69]

not bad, it's not as smooth as I would have hoped, but haven't really had time to play with adjustments. The thing is, I need to find a game trackball that I was real good at so I can get a better "feel". I find that with the homemade ball, I need to remember to apply even pressure and speed. The OEM trackball on the actual cabs allow you to vary it a lot more. Like a spin or flick of the ball would be the same.

[Mame Offender]

Right on. Pinpoint accuracy is pretty important and it is nice to have a trackball that rolls smooth and consisent in all directions.

Another question, what MAME pinball game is the best experience on the BarCade thus far?

[Buzzin69]

Actually, I have PinballX setup WITHIN GameEx so, all Pinball is played through PinballX. As for Pinball System.... Visual Pinball hands down. Pinball FX2 is to "busy" and Future pinball just doesn't do it for me

Favorites... All time is TAXI (memories), Attack From Mars, Monster Bash, and Bride of Pinbot

The spider and the scorpion are the worst enemies in any video game ever (maybe along with that double squiggly line from Tempest).

Done. Though it looks like it's been beat a couple of times.

Not bad for a first try!

[wolfman24]

tbh this might be the 1st time i played centipede lol

[hansolo77]

We had it on the old Atari 800. Dad remembers playing it in the arcade. I wish I had a track ball though, playing with a joystick or mouse just isn't cool enough.

[wolfman24]

playing with a controller is tough

[garetmax]

Here's a good run I had back in May that I'm finally submitting.

Its been a tough summer and I'm hoping to play some more in another month or 2.

Thanks

Not sure if we can accept that score garetmax. The screenshot shows multiple credits were used. Our rules are 1 credit, 1 run. I'm not sure how Centipedes works, sometimes games will reset your score back to 0 if you continue on another credit, others will continue your score. We'll have to investigate this and make a decision soon.

[Mame Offender]

I know I don't have a say, but I think it should be accepted. I don't really understand why the mods only want one credit/ one run. There are no continues on Centipede, so why would it matter if there are multiple credits on the counter for the game?

On games that have continues the one credit/ one run rule should apply.

My 2¢.
