No worries guys, I asked Adam for video verification on how he achieves this score, and it is legit.

What he did is starting a new game, press on start, cut some paper with the numbers '2' and '0', carefully scotch taped them on his TV to fit with his score, and only then he took his picture. Everything was made using original NES hardware, so the score counts.

Well...in that case...(goes off to cut out a 3 and a 0)...

Doesn't that happen every Monday?

Only if you have save states lol jk...sorta

So you're just going to pick up right where I left off?

You mean that's not how we do this?

No, I'm pretty sure you can only pick up where you left off.

That's no fun. How am I supposed to challenge your skill if I have to start from scratch? THESE CONTESTS ARE RIGGED!!!

I doubt my skills will be much of a challenge this week. I have limitations!

You wait, sir, I'm going to post a 26,000,000 point run.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I want to see a score of exactly 1 point. Just one. Maybe even negative points.

Inbox = "a post you made in the thread yada yada has been quoted 18 times" lol

Thanks guys made me feel special 😁

Gradius would be a good drinking game. You die,you take a shot. I'd be taking lots of shots.

Sounds like a plan to get real drunk : Loop the game a few times in 1-life. Die in the middle of the last level, good chance after that!

By the way gentlemen, I made a little cleaning in the thread. Try to not abuse of the endless quoting boxes, my eyes start to bleed at some point.

Sorry this made me laugh because I don't own a computer 😜 just a fancy phone.

The allowance of emulators....????.... I hope and believe no one would use them improperly.

I'm glad people get to participate that wouldn't normally be able to.

Hopefully I can get another run in this week, but if not, at least I beat my score from the last time. I didn't even break 100k back then.

updated my score (not by much) just couldn't break a mil. Though, I was in the 2nd loop looking good and then just lost all my lives on the 3rd stage. This might be it for me but maybe I'll see if I really want to squeeze in another game this weekend.

Yeah me too. I couldn't even make it past the first level last night. I reset that shit about a 100 times. I was almost ready to pull a dra6oon and punt this game out the window.

I finally moved the high score pointer, lol. I feel good that I understand this game more now (but I'll never be able to manage the crazy specifics for warps and stuff). Can't say I'm a fan of the music. But it's a cool game.

$10? Man... I had ordered a cart off this gaming store's website for $5 until I got an e-mail saying that they didn't have it.
