Star Force is one of my favourite games of all time.

Speaking of which, I canÂ´t seen to find the ROMS needed anywhere.
Suggestions for download?

Giles - is that one of those RS232 controlled LCD displays to the upper right of the Edge mag? I used one of those at work - could send all kinds of text and gfx commands to it via RS232... thought of slapping one in my spare drive bay for a real time scanner for some defender game

A Google search for starforc.zip turned it up, with a bit of looking and combing through 4-5 nonworking rom sets. Try here-

Tested and working, at least on my machine.

155,500 on play #2. I'm not telling what my first score was due to a desire to avoid severe embarassment.

So what kind of high score are we aiming for here, anyway?

-edit- 1. 1,891,200 - SiKrAiKeN

Eek!

I does not matter really what score, the only important thing is it must
be: Giles score > Yak score

Ok, just a minute ago I nearly had a heart attack when I realized the MAME version came preset to Easiest difficulty level. Jacking it up to Normal resulted in a serious ass-kicking directed at me, and I was left thinking you lot were the Psycho-Obsessive Game Gods. Peeking at the Game Settings chart and seeing that you all played it at a difficulty level designed for humans makes me feel a lot better.
