Awesome news, just got the EA cab in my house and played a few games. Not so awesome news is that the game froze and reset around building 4. I have no idea what caused that but I was on an epic game of 60K+ and no deaths (which is awesome for me). I'm hoping to get that fixed asap.

Were you mid-jump when it happened? This seems to be a bug in the game, I've had it done to me in really horrible spots (100k no deaths, etc) and sometimes on L1 just starting a game. Some type of input + jump seems to cause it to happen every so often. This is why I killed my submitted game to TG off with 2 men left because the score was semi-blurry during gameplay and I was afraid of the reset bug invalidating the score before I had a chance to focus in on it. I don't play it in MAME so I'm not sure if it happens there too, but it's happened on every machine I've ever played on. Enjoy <popcorn>

I have never had that happen on MAME before. I believe it was a certain input that caused it. And yes I was in mid jump. I'll be doing some more testing after Atlanta. Also I was on building 5, not 4.
Hopefully this doesn't happen all the time. You never know!!!!!! :) :) :)

From the multitude of games I've probably winced through over the years, my testing seemed to have concluded that the input is likely related to a jump followed very quickly by a reverse direction attempt to fire. Hence why the majority of them will happen in the later levels when that type of move attempt is more necessary. It doesn't happen all the time, but at the most inopportune usually.

I thought I might give this an update since it has been a while.......
I set a new PB on Moon Patrol of 173,210. Not too bad but I feel I can do much better.
The big news is............ I finally busted out a marathon over the weekend. I ended up playing 31 hours 40 minutes and played more than 2700 boards to beat the Kicker WR. I stopped at 50,000,000. Not too shabby for a first marathon but I'm planning on a 60+ hour for next time. I got to reach that 100,000,000 mark.
Now its time to relax and play some IGB.....
Till next time.................
