Good luck guts! I realized after about 20 attempts, that I don't really like this game much. Might just be a participation week

While I don't hate the series,it's definitely not one of my favorites. I really want to like this game a lot but a few things are preventing me from doing so. The main one is the hunger meter. I despise that thing. It's a constant "hurry up" that I don't like. While other games have timers that force the action,this just seems unnecessary. I want to take my time with this game,not be forced through it and forced to pick up the fruit. Also not a fan of the cheap deaths due to no recovery time.There have been several times where I've been on a dinosaur,taken a hit,am immediately throw into an enemy or fire,and instantly died. If these features weren't in this game I would like it a lot more than I do.

EDIT:  Old Score 210,550 (6-6)

Another day another score!  I was on Life 1 for what seemed like forever ... I just kept barely earning extra lives and pushing forward.  On Life 0 for fun I made it to the World 6 boss and then promptly died.

This is the first and only attempt that I've managed to get in, so it's probably a participation week for me. 59,800

If you got that far, I bet you're going to crush it this week. I can't wait to see the awesome score you put up!

Wow! This game just gets tougher and tougher. I made it to 7-4 I believe, but very little score increase from worlds 5 through 7. Kudos to anyone who beats the game, but I think I'm done with this one.

Hey guys this is going to be my last week as score keeper. I have been trying to stay "offline" a little more and spend more time with my GF. I had messaged bimmy about it last week, but never got a response. Hopefully one of the regulars will take over my place. Good luck and I will try to get some scores in when I can.

Your efforts were appreciated. Do what matters Corey.

Filling Santa's shoes is difficult. I could probably update scores every 1-2 days, likely around Corey time (PST) if nobody else steps up.

Sorry for not getting back with you sooner, Corey.  I've been pretty busy with work lately.  I sent you a message and I already have an interested party ready to do the scoreboard starting with the Tetris 2 contest.  Thanks for all your help with the scoreboard.  It was much appreciated

Hey man, come back and play some Adventure Island 3 with us this week if you have the time.  We've missed you in the contests and it would be great to have you back

Okay.
I probably won't be in the Adventure Island 3 competition, but I will be in the Tetris 2 competition.
