MAME World Record: Marvin's Maze: 418,300

[@gordontaylor2815]

A two-level Pacman-style maze game with a Q-bert like player character. The best way to get high scores is to combo Robonoids by getting a line of them coming for you and shooting them when they're all lined up. Note that you can clear the level either by collecting all dots or shooting a certain number of Robonoids listed at the bottom of the screen (the latter method being preferred as it gets you more points). Highlights: 1:20 5 hit combo, which more than doubles the current score! (5 hit combo gets 15,500 points - several others are seen throughout this replay) About 20 seconds later first round cleared with 41,400 points after end-of-round bonus. 5:02 Extra life (80,000 points) obtained with 4 hit combo on Round 3. 14:14 Round 9 cleared, which illustrates round counter will behave correctly at least until 19 (and probably to 99). 16:45 Clearing Round 11 gives another extra life passing 320,000 points - was this intended by the programmers? 19:52 Game seriously slows down at end of Round 13, probably as a result of setting up the hit combo. 20:45 Extra life gotten at 320,000 lost on Round 14 - on final life here. Game over about 25 seconds later.

That was a clinic on how to dominate a classic arcade game. Unless you're playing with the original controller it's really difficult because all your direction changes have to be diagonal. Great classic game though, thanks for the video.

This game sure has me thinking about the Atari arcade game machine called I Robot. But in this game: the video game characters have their colors change.
