my score from the previous year was 131400 after beating the first loop... I don't know if I can loop it multiple times! but I'll give it a shot.

Check out my comic, The Scientists. It's like a "Genius-centric 'Goonies' that can turn thriller at any moment".

Im pretty sure that score will only get me participation points
 

Actually, skinnygrinny does sound like a good name for a cruiserweight wrestler.

Hahaaa! Touché

All i can say is you better not lose to moolah this week, I'll never let you hear the end of it.

End up like this!

I was able to break 800k on my last run, but I still can't quite get to that million point mark. Hopefully I can get there with a few more attempts.

My goal this week is to make it to the next loop.


-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

Played once today and broke 200k, doubt I'll get anywhere near 800k only playing for 30 minutes a day

I guess you won't be improving on your Marty Jannetty vs Shawn Michaels head to head record this week. Your one win was three years ago, but at least I finally got even last year. You can always hold onto the hope that lightning will strike twice and you'll get lucky again someday.

Are some of y'all the peeps on Twin Galaxies? I feel like rolling the score is pretty far off for me, ha.

Score updated. Still having fun with this one! The magician and I are starting to come to an understanding.

Your still improving. I will say there are a couple techniques that might help you get a higher score at that point in the game (3rd loop). Keep working and you'll get closer to rolling the score.

Practice run. Surprised myself with 424,290. Got a little more than 500k last year. I think I can pass that.

Maybe on the official scoreboard, but you have some catching up to do on the four way challenge standings.

Here's an improvement. I pretty much just farmed on Floor 2 to get this score, I'll have to actually learn the game if I want to get much higher. I know I've beaten it before.

You know I'm not a big fan of point grinding so my plan is to loop as many times as I can. I can normally do three, only got two on my one run, so we shall see where I end up.

You know I'm gonna give it my best shot. 

Btw that special guest referee shirt fits you pretty good

I barely beat out you and TWarwick last time, so it will probably take another milllion point attempt to do it again. I probably won't have as much time to put into it since my scores don't officially count, but I don't want to lose any open challenges either!

Never really liked this game much as a kid, took me an hour + just to hit participation. What is the trick to these super high scores? I just went through the levels as quick as possible.

This video has everything you need to know. It took me from dying on the second floor to clearing the game two or three times in a run. Not to mention the point racking tips. 

Edit to add:  Your game room is really F-ing cool.

Wow, this guy makes the game look really easy. Thanks for the tips! The next run I go through should be much easier.

Some of you may recognize Richardhead's setup in my pic. I busted in while he's at his woman's house so I could school him on his own hardware! I GOT 2 WORDS FOR YA...


Damn you! I will not lose to you two weeks in a row! I'll get a good run in tonight!

Shit, just too far behind guys that have already played this a ton, plus I'm going out of town Friday-Sunday, and I'll be at work all night tonight, and trying to keep up my SNES pace. Might be another participation week ><
