Turns out I'm horrible at this game. I haven't even been able to get past the second level with the bouncing babies.

Those can be infurriating. I've had multiple runs end there.

I just played this for the first time last week with my brother. Seemed like fun for the short amount of time we played. Might put up a score this weekend if I have some time. Looks like there are already some crazy scores posted!

If you think that's bad, try the bottom center or right center levels. F those guys.

I finally did beat the second level and got a somewhat higher score.

I suck at this game, but I have to admit that it is quite imaginative, especially those enemies that doodle other enemies. That's a neat idea.

Not sure how I'd rank them all. I would probably rank Golf, Baseball and Indy Heat dead last. The sports games were a bust for the most part. Ironsword is barely playable. Battletoads, Double Dragon, Isolated Warrior and Bubble Bobble were among the most fun. Really I've enjoyed most of the contest games even Lunar Pool.

Mighty Bomb Jack was a pleasant surprise considering how poorly it is rated on the internet. There's quite a bit of depth to it.

Indy Heat
Bubble Bobble
Q-Bert
Adventure Island II
Donkey Kong Jr
Tetris
Super Mario Bros.
Pinball

Wrecking Crew
Mendel Palace
Baseball
Kung Fu

I'm not good either. Think I'm just having a hardtime getting into the game, so I play worse. It has a lot of cool concepts and with time I bet one could acheive behemoth scores.

~~I don't know if it's random or what, but there's a nice 100k bonus if you can get the naked baby to drop down in the upper left hand corner in level 2-2.~~

Not random. Just wait until the music speeds up and the baby will break out of the corner. I think he's worth 70k.

Okay, I figured it out. Touching both sun blocks makes the baby drop down, and then he breaks out of the corner once the music speeds up. You're right that it's only a 70k bonus.

I just got 100k in, I guess, 5 min.

I might get 1 mill, but I hate puzzle games on Nintendo. I just can't get into them

id rather go play connect four
