Lol,you're good. I just have to try harder. Just fighting to get a win. Problem is my controller decided to crap out on me today,at least the left direction on the D-pad. It's stuck. Every time I try to play my ship just hugs the left side. Not very good at using the analog stick and I'm not sure I'll be able to get a replacement this week.

And as for next week,bearcat-doug can no death and max out that game. I have a hard time not losing a life on level 1. I'll be competitive for TMNT 3 and probably Bucky but I won't be winning either I'm sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if TMNT 3 is a low score contest since me and Tom both maxed the score out last time. I sold my copy after the 2013 contest and I haven't played it since, so I'll have to knock the rust off.

I always liked the second one better. TMNT 3 seems to really drag on for whatever reason, especially the rooftop level.

I agree with this. TMNT 3 is way too long. They should have either shortened each level or eliminated one or more. They also could have not been so stingy with the pizzas and not ruined the special attacks.

You didn't even want to keep three on the shelve ?

Lol,I played that game for about 30 minutes last week. Had no idea what in the hell I was doing. Shoot pixie dust at viruses,watch them grow anyway,throw hands up,repeat.

Uh, yeah.  I too attempted this game.  First time playing it.  I finished the first level, thought I understood what to do.  Then, on the second level my strategy of shooting 'till I win didn't work.  So...I gave up...  Maybe if it were a weekly challenge game, I'd spend a little more time on it.

Man, there's only 9 scores so far? Hopefully some more people give this a try. It's really a fun game.

Although I figured it wouldn't be a big hit this week since this game is unknown by most,I figured turnout would be a bit higher.

I really enjoy this game even though it's pretty difficult. I tried playing using the analog stick on my messed up controller. No dice. I'll have to buy another one tomorrow if they have any in stock. If not,then I'll be done for the week.

I was hoping that you were getting ready for the Double Dragon 2 contest already. You're starting to get a little too close on that overall leaderboard.

I was able to get a new controller today,so I'm going to take a few cracks at your score. Going to be tough to top as that's a great one. Of course I'm sure you'll top it.

Lol. Funny you say that. I've played that the last couple of days and I think out of like 12 games I've won 3. As soon as I get a lead the computer starts cracking home runs. I know diablo has a big bat but he's slow as a slug. Funny that this game has a teen satan on here.

Whew. That took me longer than I expected. My hat's off to you cdbblw. Even though I topped your score (for now) I still wasn't able to clear the level like you did. I was awfully close though.
