Let's get good at... Lunar Rescue

[DanP]

Inspired by the competition at bonehead's recent meet and some of the high scores already lodged on here (notably on Donkey Kong) I thought I'd kick off a series of challenges on some old school classics to try and get our scores up!    Play on any platform, MAME, real cab - whatever.  Just for a bit of fun and to try and generate a bit of friendly competition to help motivate us to score better.

So first up is Lunar Rescue, simple game but hard as nails after the first couple of sheets.   Post up some scores (with Pix if you can), any game play tips or cheats, etc.

Game On!

Brilliant idea.
I will try it out later on my braze multi space invader.

..so when Vic & Saun played Lunar Rescue they must have also ended up in the wild west (who knew the pcb was actually part of a time machine!) ;-)

Blimey some cracking score! Anyone got any tips?

 

[DanP]

My best effort so far...

Who has some tips? I can't seem to get much further than the 3rd round!
