I think taking first place this week is a nice consolation.

Thought I'd be out of time if I kept trying the final boss, so I submitted my score... Just a few lives to go. I think I can beat it.

Bert, you dog you.

He deserves it as he obviously put a lot of time into it. A whole lot more than I did. Not going to lie,I haven't played this since I submitted my current score.

No arguments from me. Way to win Bert.

Today was the first time I played, not that I could have touched that even with a weeks worth of time.

Hey, thanks guys. I had a blast with this one. I played the original Adventure Island a lot, but never got into the second or the third. I enjoyed this one so much this week, I bought the two for the gameboy, and watched Super Adventure Island go for $81 on eBay...it was CIB, but I haven't gone back to see what a loose cart goes for.

Anywho, After submitting my score, the wife and kid wanted sundae's, so to the store I went. I'll get back to it before bedtime...

I got one for $70, had stickers all over it, none of witch couldn't be removed or damaged anything, got lucky with a clean label. Thought I paid to much at the time but apparently that's what they go for :/

I had to pick up dusty diamond too 😬

Nice! Hey where's our sundaes?

Best of luck. I know the work you've been doing is appreciated.

Come on over!

Yeah, I remember when you said you got it for $70.  I think somebody's buying them all off eBay...  I got a deal pending with an NA member for a bunch of games including Bucky, so I'll have it here in a week.

I totally got caught up in playing New Horizons and didn't get around to this one.
Oh well. If it's ever done again, maybe I'll own it by then.

I agree with Bert

This is my issue for the price of a power pack (correct me if I'm wrong $150-$200) I got : Bucky O Hare, Dusty Diamond and Adventure Island 3.

Unless we're gonna play Little Sampson or The Flinstones priced games I would rather spend the cost of the powerpak on original carts.

I haven't filed my tax return from 2012 yet, I think I'll do that and get myself a well deserved powerpak lol.

So there's not gonna be a stadium events contest?

The Powerpak won't fulfill the collector in us, but it is a fantastic investment for playing games on the real hardware, if only temporary. For $135, you can play almost every NES games on the original hardware, and it also include famicom games, Euro exclusives and the sea of hacks and translated games. And if you feel like you don't need it anymore one day, you can always resell it and recoup a big chunk of the cost.

Powerpak = Win-win situation

Good point. There is no reason why I shouldn't get a powerpak

I actually want to get an Everdrive at some point.

What's the dif between the power pak and the ever drive?

Yeah! I beat the game. Good thing I took the picture of my score when I did; after you beat the final boss, you never see it again.

I think the only real difference is PowerPaks use CF cards, and Everdrives use SD cards.  I have the NES and SNES PowerPaks, and the N64, Genesis, and TG-16 Everdrives.  All work about the same.  I only use them to play games.  Any other features like Game Genie or whatever else, I've never tried.

So who's posting the final scores?

I don't have much of a life anyway , so I'll volunteer to post the final scores:



Congratulations to all who placed!

I was going to offer to add them up, but you beat me to it.
