Yeah, I saw one of his score on youtube, it was near 6 millions. This score is sick! Any plan on retaking your SMB3 crown Tom

I just realized that I didn't have my username on a piece of paper... am I disqualified?

I'm not a judge Ron - but I'd vouche for you as it looks like the scores were posted from the same Toshiba TV 2 weeks in a row.

If it was a top 10 score though, the judging might be a bit harsher though.

Yeah, I'm not too worreid about losing my 35th place .

If you look I also posted that TV when I beat LoZ a few months back.

I'll be sure to put a paper there for my Dr. Mario score.

If you wanted to,I know you could crush that score.

We still need 10 participants! C'mon guys, post up those scores for a chance to win the 8-bit Xmas!

Thanks to rdrunner's techniques, I'll quote gutsman004 (and Happy Gilmore)... "Somebody learned how to putt!". Now, let's see what I can score before time runs out!

You really thought that was it?! After a long night of efforts... BAM! I finally smashed the 500K bar and had the play of my life. Also, fuck Dr. Mario!
Surprise, surprise



REAL final score - 536700

Ugh, not very good at this game. Once i started to climb ladders to dodge barrels i started to do better. 68500

Not happening unless there are 10 last second posters out there. The reason why I was hoping everyone would post early as we would be a lot closer earlier and that might tempt some people to jump in and participate.

Level F - 377,700



Yikes, I'm barely cracking the top 10 this week. Competition sure got stiff this season!

I had guests over so I had to move my NES to a different room with a much smaller TV.  Sorry for the picture quality.

Although I'm done with DK for a while now, sometime in the future I want to try pausing and taking a 10 minute break every few levels. The barrel stages are easy, especially after learning that if you stop at the top of a ladder the barrels won't go down that ladder and you're safe. The river stages are easy as long as you are patient. I started really getting the hang of timing when to run during the spring stage based on spawn location of the spring, but fuck my eyes start bugging out after a while. I really want to hit 500k now.

48,100

Cool, nice work

I have been enjoying the competition! I wish I had prepared more as I learned a lot and my score is not my best. I am not able to play more before scoring closes. Great games everyone!

448500 score update. Well F$&(! That doesn't even move me up one spot! Lol oh well I am actually pretty proud I made it into the 400k I would have liked to get into the 5. Oh well. Honestly when I first started playing this game last Sunday I couldn't stand it! I thought I would only participate but the spirit of competition drove me to do the best I could and after giving it a good effort and I week to grow on me..... I still F€ing hate this game lol. Thanks everybody for making this fun. Billy and guil for hosting, Santa I think you know we all agree your commentary rivals dick vitale! Second to none. All the top scorers great job! I'm glad it's a point by finishing spot system otherwise erizisto would be ahead by what? 1.5 million lol. Thanks everybody!

You made some fine progress this week ninjistar and jumped up the standings quite a few spots.

14 minutes left for submissions until scoring is closed this week!

**Edit: That was supposed to say 44 minutes.
This week's contest ends at 11:00PM Nintendoage Time (11:00PM EST)

33,300

The cold and flu season has been kicking my butt. I've been healthy for maybe a total of three days in the last two and a half weeks.

This is just a qualifying score, as pathetic as it may be. I usually put more time into arcade titles like this but I wasn't up to putting time in this week plus I didn't think I'd top ten anyway. With the current stretch of games coming, I have no idea if I'll be getting a top ten anytime soon. Oh well. I hope this at least may help you all for reaching the drawing.

124,300 - level 6

*all fixed*

47,100

I was a little bit preoccupied this week. I saved this screenshot from my first run and ran out of time to top it. Top scores this week are impressive as usual!

We are 5 away from the giveaway with less than 30 minutes to go!

101000 - unofficial score post My girlfriend has been watching me play for four days straight and wanted to try. She's a gamer, more SNES. Anyway she beat Tom Votava by 1000 points lol

Final update in my original post. Doesn't look like I'll have time to make another serious attempt at it.

Great scores everybody! Having a blast with this
