Please use these settings when submitting a hi-score for Nitroball:

ROMSet: NitroBal
Flip Screen: Off
2 Credits to Start, 1 to Continue: Off
Lives: 3
Difficulty?: Normal
Players: 3
Shot Button To Start: Off
Special Rules: This is a Single Player ONLY variation. Continues are NOT allowed!

---> All settings are appropriate on DEFAULT. The only option to change is the Player's count. It should be 3 not 2 (2 is the default). It's not necessary to change this unless you intend to have more than 2 people playing at once. For our competition, you should be submitting a single player score anyway, so it's not important.

Aaaand here we are! The June GOTM is here. NitroBall! I've never actually played it so this will be fun. Since I've never run the game on my system, it was easy to see what settings needed to change in the DIP SWITCHES. As it turns out, the only thing you need to change is the PLAYERS switch. It defaults to 2. Flip it to 3 and off you go! Since this doesn't really affect the difficulty in the game, and just adjusts how many players you have, I suppose it won't count against you if you DON'T change it. But it's your own fault for not giving yourself an extra life, so why not change!?

Anyway, lets get some scores going, and above all else: HAVE FUN!

EDIT: After re-reading the settings bit, I discovered I had completely overlooked the -LIVES- setting. -PLAYERS- actually just changes how many people would be allowed to play at one time. The -LIVES- setting is where you change how many lives you get. DON'T CHANGE THIS!! You can change the -PLAYERS- setting if you wish, but it won't make any difference in the competition since you should only be submitting a 1 player score anyway.

Made it to stage 2. Stupid hockey player guy was hard. I kept shooting and shooting and he just wouldn't die! Got him though! : )

Never played this game... oh well... one more to try

[hansolo77]

Hmm.. just re-read the settings for this. Guess I over looked the -LIVES- part. That's how many lives you get.. it should be 3. -PLAYERS- is actually the number of players allowed to join in the game at once. I'm going to adjust the OP with the corrections. Silly me lol.
