I'm confused what happens with the scores of this week? This is a 3 week thing? Do all 10 people play every week? Did I miss something? UncleTusk needs medicine!

Top 7 move on this week, top 5 the next week, and the top 3 get a prize!

Idk if this is some sort of placebo effect but my score went up when I played on original hardware

I seem to only have the patience to make a good run for the first few attempts. After that I just try to run through the stages which hasn't panned out so far lol.

My nes was on the ground. I just switched rooms as it was mega hot and muggy so I decided to fire up the A/C in my room. Better tv quality as well

Tier 2 202,200. Just crapped out on level 6. Throwing up an early score since I might not have a chance this weekend to finish (busy with bday parties and baby showers). If you can get to around 80-90k in the first 1-1 level, you should be good. It seems to be somewhat difficult to manipulate the chompers in the first level. Some good scores post so far so keep it up everyone!

Bearcatdoug showing off his moded toploader with its fancy lights.... ya well you don't have a t101 backing you up do ya?! Lol not only that apparently the top loader boost arcade genre skill +1 😏

Is it just me or do the snatchtraps acquire invisibility starting on L5-1? Makes it a bit difficult getting across the top.

Let's turn the heat up even higher in tier 3. Just updated my score and this one might even stay on top for longer than 30 minutes.

I used the new top loader during Puzznic week too, so maybe it is lucky. I'm guessing it's a glitch from sprite overload, but the snapjaws do randomly disappear at the top of the screen starting with Level 5. It happens with the blue sparks too starting on Level 5-3.

I'm surprised that my score hasn't been beaten already. I bet he's saving his 500k score for 10:59 PM Sunday.

I don't think I'll be getting close to that although I'll be spending a good portion of my weekend trying to improve my score.

Seeing all this fierce competition is exactly why I play in these contests. Just a bunch of good people having a great time playing videogames competitively. Can't get any better than that.

You all are killing me. I'm to the point I'm bashing the reset button even if I die once or miss a opportunity to get extra points from killing the claptraps and stuff

Yeah!  This is great!  Hopefully this will continue on in the second half weekly challenges!
