Much anticipated, and unfortunately delayed (sorry about that guys!).. We proudly present for your enjoyment...

MOON PATROL
This game was selected by yours truly to be the Bonus Game after our Punisher GOTM competition.  Though never having made it until now.  It should be noted, this is NOT the game GC teased about adding in his most recent posts.  This is purely a freebie from me because I feel ashamed in our neglection (heh not a true word) to add new games.  So have at it you scoundrels!

Good time to be doing this, as my competitive streak from the Yolympics hasn't ended! This was also in IGBY 2014.

Using the current settings (5 lives/10k extra only) on the Williams set for MP (taken @ the copyright screen since no initials are possible here)

We've made a little (one-time) exception to our rule not adding games which lack an in game hi-score table...but heh...it's a classic gem ! It has also been added to Tony Mott's 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die ;)

Nice score EX !

Oh did we have that rule?  I don't remember.  I can understand why that would be kind of important.. maybe I should change the rules to my thread I created for people to suggest games they want to play.. to say they HAVE to have an in-game table.

ANYWAY!!  Good job EX!  I probably could have done better.. I just wanted to get a score posted so I could create the actual table in the Database Manger program we use, and to have it built for the OP.  I'm definitely coming back to this!  :)

First time I sat down to play my cabinet in months.  It was nice!

I still suck :) - 13,700

Looks like you made it to level J, where I only made it to I.  So you're at least 1 level better than me.  :)

Improved but over 40k behind Exed...sweet crap I did not realize how good he did.  I know I can get through the Beginner stages of MP, but not sure how much further ill get.  Nice score Exed!

On our Atari 800, I used to run this game through twice before I lost all my lives.  I wonder if the settings we use makes it that much more difficult.  Still, I loved this game back then!

Nice update rtkiii!  I'm sure EE is shaking in his boots.  :)

Why?  This game is epic.  Is it because we have no chance of beating our top players? :) And that takes mad skills to make your score a palindrome.  LOL!

I never played this in the old days, but this game sure does make quite a lot of things right... I especially like the tune [dum-dum-DUM-du-dum] :rolleyes:

Those mines are what makes my score stay in the 12k range lol

Just take your time with the mines, slow pace...you'll see they are not that bad, :) - of course I can only score 30k+ so I'm not that much better

Back in the day, I'd come home from elementary school and play this on the Atari 2600 at my babysitter's house. I think I was able to get to the third set of levels back then. That stupid speeder that flies up your butt was one of the first sources of video games controller abuse from me. 

45,850 points. I'll be back for more before the month is over. B)

Just a heads-up to everyone that GameEx uses the "mpatrol" version of the game by default. So, you might need to do some feneggling to play the correct "mpatrolW" Williams version.

Thanks guys for the eagerness and support by posting new scores!  Glad you guys like this one.  When I played this on the Atari 800, I always thought those "mines" were "Rocks".  Maybe it made it less scary for me?  All I remember is the rocket coming up behind you at later stages and you have to time your jump just right.  Good times!

PS, what do you guys think of that larger marquee image?  Since GC typically does them for new games, and he's been sorta AWOL, I had to settle with doing it myself.  Adultery has storage set aside for them, but I don't really know how to use it, so I just found a high res marquee through Google, uploaded it to a photo hosting site, and then linked to that.  Does the larger image work for you?  I think it looks awesome, and it looks like the forum is properly shrinking it to fit too.  Just curious.

Looks great.. Particularly since Moon Patrol had some pretty awesome art.

Getting accustomed to this one...
you can actually dodge almost all of those bombs by going slower or faster... I like this game!

Do you mean the bombs those "circley" aliens drop?  Yup, that's part of the skill.  It's a pretty awesome game.  Day off tomorrow.. I'm gonna try and get a better score for myself!

@millerbrad - Nice job!  Way to keep pushing forward!

@smario - You just suck.  :P  Didn't you see millerbrad trying to post a score, then you just come in and blow it away.  What a jerk!  HEHE LOL!  I guess it's ok because your previous score was higher than his too.  Keep trying millerbrad!
