easy solution: get it again! it should only take about 2hrs

Talking seriously (in case somebody wanted to reject your score), it is counting and I am going to have a long afternoon today

I know, it's incredibly annoying when you spend ages getting a good score and it's lost forever the moment you quit the game.

@VermillioN: you just don't know when to stop do you?!

BippyM · 17 June 2007, 12:13

I'm gonna raise the bar today guys

I've decided

Mine does - you do exit just like from any Deluxe Galaga version with pressing Esc and Y, not just press the WHDLoad exit key?

BippyM · 17 June 2007, 13:41

yes I exit properly and it don't save :/

Maybe my HDF is write-protected hmmmm

Graham Humphrey · 17 June 2007, 13:42

I am now thoroughly sick of this game...

Maybe you need to specify this in Galaga Prefs?

Shoonay · 17 June 2007, 14:21

...or the save file's not present or write protected, or something with the files?
Maybe you don't have WHDLoad registered?

BippyM · 17 June 2007, 14:47

I am registered with WHDLoad (Faggots :P)

Hmmm will check the prefs later.. I must dig out my old Galaga disks, I have huge scores on that from when I used to compete against my cousin and I love warblade on the PC

BippyM · 17 June 2007, 14:59

Guys, been trying to do this since I started playing this (Never did it yrs ago

)

Well finally I have managed it (After copious amounts of failure in the other games i've played

)

Hopefully a money grabber wont come get me

How come you get 2500 cash after Meteor Storm?

Post #48, clue #9

My new score. I have used my old highscore table because recently joining does not want to work (I don't have a clue why).

8,824,630 - 10th position in the table

I don't know how it happened but in some moment I lost my rank. I was admiral when suddenly, after collecting another rank marker, an info showed up that I was degraded (I haven't noticed it at the first moment). Do you know what should be done to be degraded?

P.S. Look at the first place and score of my friend

When you are fully graded there is another rank marker, it's sorta purple with lines on it (I think, not seen one in yrs) this will degrade you

I recall collecting something like this and it happened. Although I haven't noticed whether it has lines or not

Advice for me playing next time: when fully graded, stay away from purple rank markers

I could do with that advice - I've collected the purple one twice

I'd take a screenshot but it's far too quick

hehe yup it's like a corrupted version of the purple marker.. avoid at all costs

and congrats on the meteor storm cash-in bippy!
I've never done that before..
