Score updated.

Getting pretty good.

I'll probably give this another shot before it ends tonight. I got over 400,000 points last night, but it was in the dark and I didn't have my name tag or camera handy

I really missed these. Great job as usual!

You might bring home the win this week as long as you don't get too distracted watching the Daytona 500.

Love the Santa update! That was an awesome read!

So I couldn't leave well enough alone and tried another attempt....and failed. Seems like world 4 is where I screw up.

I just cannot get used to the damn jumping controls. I need tight controls like in the Mega Man games,not this slip slidey,loosey goosey stuff.

All time classic game,but man these controls are frustrating. Oh well,on to Tetris to claim my PPs there as well.

He really goes above and beyond with the effort that he puts into them. I can't give him enough credit for how awesome they are.

Looks like I'll have to give this one a quick go later for those participation points.

I swear that I must be so used to the controls that I don't even notice anything being off about them. Maybe I've played too much Ice Climber to the point that it's my standard for slippery controls. Then again, it's on ice so I guess it's supposed to be slippery.
 

Well I did end up picking up more than half the games listed for this contest. So there's maybe a participation icon in my future???

I guess when I was playing it as a kid,I didn't mind the controls because I wasn't playing for high score and definitely not in a competition. If I died,whatever...I have a bunch of lives and if I lose them all,I'll just use the infinite continues to muscle through the game.

I used to be pretty decent at the turtle tipping trick on 3-1 but I could never pull it off this week. Of course I didn't practice it at all. Trying to refrain from practicing on emulators,looking up any info on gamefaqs,and watching any YouTube videos,etc so I can recreate (as close as I can) competing as if it were 1985.

for me the turtle hopping is totally random, sometimes i get it right and sometimes the shell flies away, not sure what i am doing different

I'm pretty sure that there's a guaranteed way to do it, but this is a spoiler free zone.

i need to know the precise details i am sure i am too close or too far from the step or the turtle. i never was able to do it years ago
 

100,500 I wish i had more time No power for the last 2 days plus could not find a controller that worked right

Looks like i am jumping a little late maybe i need to jump sooner, i probably wont be posting a new score today and have already been bumped down 2 spots but 860k is a score i am still proud of
 

I been watching nascar with my dad since I can remember. Bill Elliott has always been my favorite. His son qualified on the pole, maybe he can win it too. I'm really a Joey Logano fan now though. The 500 is an awesome race. I've been to the 400 numerous times but never the 500. 

Got me on a nascar rant  

it works for me now more than it did at the beginning of the week. 

 

I started out as a Rusty Wallace fan. When he retired, it was Kurt Busch and now Brad Keselowski. Basically I stick with whoever's driving the #2 Team Penske car.

I have the same issue.  Its just too disheartening to get to 3-1, flub it, and know that I may as well just start over at that point

 

126,800

that is exactly how i felt

Participation station

355,000







 

UPDATE:
314,450

Just something a little more respectable.

I am ashamed of my low score...

173800.
