Had time for one more try. All of my deaths were really pathetic this time, it was a little depressing.

100,210 is my newest, and probably, final score.



I hope that's good enough to hang onto a top 10 position, if not, its been a good debut I feel.

F you matt.  Hahaha.  Actually, F me, I was on the last leg of a boss level with a score of 196K+ and pathetically fell down a pit I could have easily jumped over.  Didn't press the button at the right time.  Was SO close to breaking 200 and I didn't even increase my position!  I want to get at least 200K for this comp, more gaming tomorrow.  You will suffer at my power.  Just a tip, hold on to those fireballs and blast left and right to find all the hidden eggs.  Once you get those rings you get a lot of points and a 1-up appears now and then, you should be able to nab around 5 lives total (including 0) by around 2/2.

Yeah, totally with you on that.  I don't know what it is about the 200K mark, but I can't break it either!

update my abysmal score to something slightly less abysmal. Made it to the 1-4 boss for the first time. didn't have as much time to play this week as I wanted. Also Finding out I'm really not that good at NES games. oh well, I can move out of last place at least on this one. XD

36510 is the new score.

Kind of disappointed because I made some stupid mistakes, but hey, I haven't played it in a long time and I was never well-practiced at it anyway. I have this horrible habit of dying at the frogs near the end of 2-3, leaving me weaponless at the beginning of 2-4, which is pretty much a death sentence in my book. Also, I kept missing the 2-3 bonus stage.

So... I kicked ass at a half marathon this morning, and told Master Takahashi that it was his turn to run!  Who knew?  He just wanted me to feel his pain.  That's it for me.  Had a blast!

Nice try Matt, but YOUR SOUL IS MINE.  And some of you other guys too, at least for now.  Basically had a flawless game until I tried to get that hidden pot with the jumping stupid frog.  Not even worth it.  After that gunned it hard and raw until the ice level in stage 4.  That needs some practice, been too long.

Couldn't get around to playing this until about an hour ago. Nearly forgot about it. At least I was able to get a score in this week.
