That's a good score, I will let you know when my PCB is working....

 

[Muerto]

If I ever get to own one of those ill let you know
I'll update the table asap.

My best is 320k, but that was years ago on my old machine which I sold to Rav (who then sold that on, no idea where it is now!!!)

I need to get some practice in but reckon I can hit the 200k mark in the next few days.

 

[muddymusic]

About 180k I think, I know Shaun's old cab has his name on the top 3 for 200k and above, I could never quite beat that bottom one!

 

[Alpha1]

180k was basically the next screen, 220k maybe 4-5 screens away.

I'm coming!!!

 

[muddymusic]

What screen was that on? I always ended up at the same place where it gets really fast!

 

[Alpha1]

Not sure, when I got 168k I had Max hanging off me watching me play, i'll get super focused on it later tonight and hopefully post up a better score.

I can't help doing the Replay Dance when it kicks in

The No Quarter podcast about this game was great, there are some interesting facts they found so well worth a listen if you like this game.

I managed to get 371,200 today, it was getting a bit hectic at times, such a great game

Muddy, I am with you on the Replay Dance that you absolutely must do when you receive an instant replay.

Check out this video (not mine) for the instant replay music

Holy crap... that's an epic score.

I can;t remember what my top score is... but I was 2nd place on Olly's cab.

Thanks

I should point out that the score was on original Atari hardware using recommended settings as the game is unplayable in MAME due to the analog joystick.edwoodjnr2015-10-06 21:46:25

What's your play technique? I found my best scores were actually when I ran across the levels as quick as I could, usually grabbing and holding one bit of food ready to chuck on the run across the next level. Then taking advantage of the melon levels and racking up a load of points standing on the spot.

 

[edwoodjnr]

The best strategy for me seems to be pick up the food and throw it as soon as you get, repeating each time you get more food on the way to the ice cream.

To get the instant replay, it seems close shaves are not enough, you need to stay alive and let the chefs chase you for a bit before going for the ice cream.

All this discussion is really making me want to play it!

I would really was to get my hands on a Food Foght, such a great game and great looking cabinet!!

Scoreboard updated, from MAME to ATARI.
It´s just that, if the hardware/software that has been used for achieving the score isent stated, I write MAME..
