This out to be hard for me, since out of every series of games I haven't beaten a single NES Adventure Island game, can't imagine my score being very impressive, but I'll still give it my all.

I need to check my 64 games cart to see if I have this one there.
Otherwise, I will have to skip this week.

Hopefully I'll have some time this week. Really have only had time for smaller play games, like 2600 stuff. At least things are looking up in the health things over here.

Getting better. If only I ran under that red frog I'd been okay and at least would have passed the hundred thousand mark. But that's about as bad as me getting hit by the same rolling boulder a stage or two before that on two different games, darned memory.

This is a pathetic score but I told Kevin I would participate this week. This was my very first run and hopefully I can find time and do much better.

Getting a LITTLE better.

30,690

I don't understand this. What are we competing for?

-------------------------

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

I haven't had much time for this game this week. Best I've been able to do is a little over 17,000. I might have some time for this today, but I don't think my score is going to be that great. I'm not very good at the Adventure Island games.
