I love the pomp and melodrama happening, ha. What a great score, bert. Waiting for all these heavyweights to come in and wreck.

Nice job, mbd39! I need you to teach me how to play Ninja Gaiden so well, by the way.

Thanks. Today is more or less my first time playing "Kung Fu" so I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I mean, I must have played it before at some point, but hardly at all. It's one of those games that I ignored.  But it turns out to be fun and somewhat challenging. I may have to get the cart.

Yes, exactly. Honestly, when I saw it on the schedule, I was like, "Bummer, I guess I'll have to wait a week to play DKJ." But then, I started playing and totally changed my tune; plus, it brought back some nice memories.

My best run ever on this game.  I played two complete loops before I even lost a life.  The Magician and I killed each other at the same time.  Thought I had him.

I only got a little over 600k on my first try. I'll need some practice to break that million point mark again like last year.

My second attempt. Man I am rusty. I think the last time I played this was for the weekly contest the previous time it came up.

Participation. I've scored about 250K in the 2012 contest so hopefully later on in the week I can exceed that.

Gonna take some grinding to flip that score again. You guys are good, took me probably 10 runs to get this one.

It helps that it was literally the first nes game I ever played and one of four I originally got with my nes. Ironically,this was the last game I got for my Atari 2600.

I think I played this at a friends house, or a friend brought it over. Other than that the only time I ever played it was last years contest.

Yeah, I haven't played this since last year's competition week either. I didn't roll it then, but I plan to this week!

Last update for me for the night. Thanks for posting all these inspiring/intimidating sorcerer-level scores, peeps. It's always nice to have role models, ha.

I'm less rusty at this than at Tetris since we played it last year, but I'm not expecting to roll the score unless I get a really good run in.

That's my issue. I probably won't have much time later this week, so I'll have to try and get a good run in early.

This right here is why I really love these contests.  Having fun with a game you didn't expect is reason alone to play along.
