I finally got a run over 100K! I think I lost in Level 14, and then I kept playing and got all the way to 22, so I could have been closing in on 200K with a little better playing. Level 22 is brutal though, I wasn't close to clearing that one.

Nice. As with Donkey Kong 3, this game has not clicked with me at all. I hope that I do better with Yoshi.

I have some experience with the game in a prior contest, so that has helped me. Even then, it took 4-5 tries just to make participation.

Someday I am going to have to beat this game. It might happen this week!

Why are most finding this game so difficult? Why do you all find it so frustrating?

Why has no one answered my questions? Whyyyyyy.

It is due to the yellow car.
It literally cheats by achieving speeds you cannot match with your car.

I have played and beaten this one before, but I am sitting out this week due to external factors.

So is it the yellow car or orange car? Was my TV that crappy growing up that the yellow car actually appeared orange?

I'm with you Mega Tank, I love R.C. Pro-AM.
It's one of my all time favorites.

... Also waiting on Swift to roll the score so I have an excuse to keep playing.

I'm not familiar enough with it. It is for me what Battletoads or Marble Madness is for you.

I don't think I've ever rolled the score in my life. Regardless, you'll have to sit on pins and needles until this weekend because I am traveling for work currently.

No.

- Red (you)
- Lime Green
- Blue
- Peach (evil, evil car)

And Swift, I'm going to continue to try and beast that score then.
I've never ever golded in the contests and R.C. Pro-Am is my only shot.

...also, you have been my Ivan Drago in that game ever since you won it back in 2013.

Based on that analogy, would that make you Apollo Creed?

Or perhaps Richard is. Here he is being serviced (again) by the Blowbot

Thus far... yes.
Hopefully someday I can be Rocky.

Swift is a world class player.
Knocking him out in one of his best titles as an average amateur would be a top gaming achievement.
When I saw that R.C. Pro-Am was again on the schedule, I really hoped I'd get another chance at besting him.
Now that this week is here... i'm nervous.

Also... picturing the defending NA champion as Paulie is hilarious.

I'll be rooting for you this Friday too Bea.

Everything is going to go great and the relief you feel will make it all worth it.
You'll be on my mind all day Friday.

Thanks Santa. Luckily, it is just ye old total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
Since it will be done through laparoscopy, I might be home by Saturday morning already. Chances for complications are around 10%, so it will be all good.

And I would be extremely happy if I see you win this Sunday. That would surely help with my recovery.
