Well, I certainly wouldn't be able to answer that one, seeing that I am still trying to get through the entire Champion Stage.  I wouldn't be surprised if it looped and remained the same each one though.

Managed to get into level 3 for the first time last night. Judging from what little I saw of level 3 I reckon the champion stage loops indefinitely. Can anyone confirm this?

134,710

 

I'm not sure either.  To be honest, I've never made it through the whole first stage yet on MAME.  Atari I made it through all 3 I think one time, but I don't remember what happens after that.

Good score by the way!  Keep yourself from being beaten!

I had another good run - 181,060 (loop 3 stage R)

As I was suspecting loop 3 is the same as loop 2 in terms of terrain and obstacles and the general way in which enemies appear. However, it seemed that the enemy flotillas consist of more saucers which certainly drop more bombs (aaargh!).

I suspect they'll come in greater numbers and faster (and you faster as well) the farther you go.

Thanks for the submission!

Wow, that is a great score for Moon Patrol!  

 

Just think, if you put the same effort into some of the other games we have on the games list, you would be looking at a top 5 spot in the Leaderboard for sure!  Great job!

Not a bad run!  Better than mine!

What a gem of a game  I can't believe it's from 1982. I'll definitely play this game in the next couple of weeks.

Here's my first score: 13,910 points

Well said.  Family getting along ok?   Gotta say, Moon Patrol is a classic in my house.  We played it on the Atari 800 computer all the time.  (Atari 800 is basically (from an emulation standpoint) an Atari 5200 with a keyboard and disk drive.  It was a game I remember very vividly.  Having the ability to play games like this again makes me yearn for those easier days of life.  The nice thing about MAME is that it plays the original, and not a home console port.  So the sound and graphics look a lot better.  Yet, I still would rather play the Atari version (the 1 button joystick controls were easier).
