I think a group of us walking Allen through this process would make for a fun stream.

You're right Dave, it's pretty tempting and sometimes a tough decision to make, but it's kinda cool that a lot of the challenges kind of connect with each other in such a way that if you fail at getting the best score at one of them they can be abandoned for another. For example: bottom girder challenge->1-1 highscore -> 4 man challenge or normal game (or any of the 'highscore by level 'x' challenges').
I updated my 1-1 back jumps only score to 3800 points, as I found that I had highlighted it from a while ago. It's right at the beginning of the clip. The rest of the video is silly, as I don't even notice that I mess up grabbing the top hammer on 1-2 without doing an attempted 'back jump' (it really only has significance if you are doing it over barrels, which is why the challenge is only on 1-1). Here it is: http://www.twitch.tv/marinomitch13/c/1454002 (http://www.twitch.tv/marinomitch13/c/1454002)

"challenge" ideas I was thinking about...more like jokes, I think. ;)This one has a couple of problems. First, on a fast machine you have no chance at all so it isn't interesting. Second, F10 has MAME run without throttle, so with a lower-end PC it won't run as fast as on a high-end PC, so not everybody would be playing at the same speed.
1) The F10 Challenge (MAME Only)
Load up US Set 1, press F10, and see how high you can get. I've yet to grab the bottom hammer. ;D
Lol. How convenient and conspicuous... Jeremy (Mr. Frame-Advance master) submitting the inp for Allen. ;) There are lots of elements of that inp that are dubious, the main one being that the way the barrel screen is played is unlike allen's normal gameplay in multiple different ways.
However, for such a coveted record, I'm afraid I can only accept twitch streams. :P
I'll believe it when I see it!
(BTW, Jeremy, you can do a lot better. Using frame advance, I could probably get another jump or two in!)

Also, the INP and WLF files seem to be from different sessions, as the checksums do not match.
What the hell? Have I been duped by Allen?

This is not a submission since I did it from a save state...but I thought you'd be interested to know that 3800 Bonus on 1-2 is setting the bar a little low. Kappa

Did you use frame advance? What pattern did you use?
EDIT: Added your time!
He probably didn't completely cross the top 2 rivets.
Highest rivet (any kind of rivets; in game):
1) Dean: 14,200
2) Vincent: 13,300
No Hammer start (no deaths)

Love seeing the NH Scott, was thinking it had lost some luster to some folks. I had been trying for 100k start and ended up getting it last weekThat's excellent, Jeff. I'll be aiming for a 100K start as well.

One challenge a friend of mine came up with was to get 0 points on level 1-1. I ended up pulling off and going to the rivet stage clearing all the rivets without using hammers or getting prizes leaving me with the lowest possible level 1 score of 800 points.
Added Daniel Desjardins completing 1-1 with 4000 left on bonus timer! Lit!
