After several runs that ended in pitfalls or other stupid shit like this, I finally managed to get to the boss and no-death the game (holidays FTW! Free time!). Here are pics before and after the roll Also, I like this one MUCH better than 1...
(Frame rate is 44 because I selected another window to setup my phone so I could snap the pic in time( emulator pauses when in background).
Hope you're OK with that, Bimmy

TIER 1 - FINAL SCORE - 1101100 (unfortunately for you guys, I didn't write it in binary ).

Also, puzzle games are not my thing, except when there's Yoshi in it (Yoshi, Tetris Attack, etc.)... This seems interesting

It should be interesting to see how many 1,000,000+ scores get posted today. I guess I'm just going to have to sit back and see if mine holds up.

I have a feeling I wont be moving along into the next week. Turns out I suck at time management more than anything. I died way more because I lost track of the timer while I was slaying monsters than getting actually killed

That happened to me on level 6-2 when I posted my original score. For some reason, I thought the timer reset for the boss fight and I went into the cave with about 5 seconds to go.

After countless/tedious attempts I finally got something worthy of posting, I love Ninja Gaiden 2 but point racking was just so frustrating

I would love to move on, but its not gonna happen. I hated this round. I put about half as much time into NGII than I did with TMNTII. I'm done playing so I'll just live with my small score.

I really hope DK Jr. wins. I couldn't get into Yoshi's Cookie (no pun intended) and well Bubble Bobble puts me to sleep after about 20 minutes.

Get it together Shane O Mac! It's your fault this game got voted in and we all had to play it, so you had better move on. I'm sure that the Ultimate Warrior has your check in the mail for all the mentions that he got this week!

It's not Shane's fault because I know who is the true culprit. And no,I won't say. I did vote Dk Jr.

I voted for Baseball so I'm playing under protest.

No worries I plan on moving into the finals. I was hoping the rules would be like last years for Ninja Gaiden where point racking wasn't allowed but it is what it is. I love the game so I'm happy to be playing it.

No kidding man the Ultimate Warrior was just as relevant in this thread as the game!

Bubble Bobble's bubble has been burst and has been removed from the list Only Life Force, Donkey Kong Jr, and Yoshi's Cookie remain. Which game will be selected for the finals? Tune in at 9:30 PM NA time to see the thrilling conclusion! And as always, the new contest will go live at 10 PM NA time.

I'm going to pull a guillavoie and post my score at the last second,which basically most everyone else is. Going my poker mentality,everyone who's posted already either feels comfortably safe or has conceded,so I'm guessing everyone else has a score they'd like to improve before it's all said and done.

I feel as if Kevin was trolling me all week hahahaha. I may just post a score for Bubble Bobble this week for the hell of it. Give myself a 3 life rule and once I die 3 times, I pause and snap a picture.

The other three are good choices for competition though so it's all good in the end.

*awkward silence*

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up concentrating on racking up points after I struggled with 4-2 earlier in the week. I thought I found some good point spots (so good I didn't bother to try beating 4-1 again), but some of these scores still scare me, even if they are from other tiers.

Like last week, I have an evening shift at work so this is it for me. Good luck all and hopefully I'll find out I'll be contending in the final round when I get home.

In the event that I actually make it to the finals, I guess that I'd better hope for Donkey Kong Jr. If it ends up being Yoshi's Cookie or Lifeforce, I might as well job to Tom like Shawn Michaels did to Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam 2005.

I suspect it will be a completely different game. I think it would be appropriate. What better way to surprise everyone and prevent them from practicing on a certain game(s) way in advance than this? I think it would be a shrewd move.
