I'm kind of rooting for Richard. I love big upsets. Richard takes a long absence from the contests. Returns. Wins tournament. That's a great story.

Oh no! Krunch is a badass! It me and you batteling it out for 3rd😜
 

I almost beat Krunch's Palamedes score but I would have gone insane if I had played that any longer.

I'm banking on Adventure Island being a game that he's not great at. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's great at it.

I am also kinda rooting for Richard, but if he trully beat this game without dying, I will have to put the effort and do the same.  
I don't want to put an effort this week.

A good start for him to not letting us all down would be posting a real high score proving his prowess in the game!

... Man, this will be a close one, it seems.
There isn't really any point racking tricks here, so it will come down to whoever makes the furthest without missing too many fruits, pots and secret bonus areas.

I'm flattered, but no, I'm not great at it. I'm grinding away and getting better but I've never been that good at AI series even though I like them. Playing AI without dinos is way harder for me as well.

So really it's anyone's game at this point. Brock has already set a nice benchmark for us.

I played this shit for hours yesterday, and spent most of that time regressing from that high score. This is going to be one of those weeks where I battle myself mentally. And if I have to play world 1 again anytime soon, I might shoot myself

This shit is almost like having to learn Battletoads in a few days, except at least that has some variety. Using infinite continues I made it to 3-2 before having had enough and turning it off. I'm not too hopeful about my score.

Except with Battletoads you have like a million lives.  One flub here and you have to start all over.  Again.

NES got Adventure Island. Sega Master System got Wonder Boy.

Wonder Boy has better graphics, but my god is that soundtrack annoying.

No poker hands for me! I'll post my best score before I go into work today (about an hour). I figure fuck it, everyone wants to see😝

That is MOST interesting.
On Wonder Boy, the fruits are worth 10 times more points if you are using the skate board.
I will have to check if that is the same on Adventure Island. If it is, I will have to learn how to play while riding that bloody thing.

Edit:
Did a quick test. Luckily, it is not the case on the NES version.

Well..... Updated my score!
Not sure how much more I can do. I might not have a girlfriend after this week! She wasn't too pleased that I've been playing so much and skipping out on my bike rides😋
