I agree 100%! I'm hoping I'll beat this tonight after I see the Carrie remake,but we'll see. I'm really liking Rollerball. I had never played it prior to a few days ago. I actually mistook it for Roller Games. I was like....a roller derby game?! And only 5 submissions so far?! Come on guys! Yeah,this game is far,far from awesome but there are points to be had here! And possibly a random drawing for a prize! So yeah....power up those consoles or emulators.

I used to have Rollerball, but apparently I traded it in at the local game shop earlier in the year when I was trying to cut back on my pile of NES games. I already had Pin*Bot and black box Pinball, so I figured that I didn't need three different pinball games. Hopefully some more scores roll in this week. It would be great to see the participation get back up to where it was at the beginning of the second half. Rollerball is a fun game, so if anybody is on the fence about playing next week, they should really give it a try.

I've got a score ready to go but I'm gonna try to do better after the kid goes to bed. I have the next three weeks worth of games so count me in.

ok

so i also beat the game with a score of 23,905
but i did better when i died on level 7 with a score of 24220

why is this?

maybe bc of when i used my continue?
that is the only thing i can think of

I think in the game in which i did the 24220 i died on the bouncers on level 6
and on the one where i beat the game @ 23905 I died early on level 6

thoughts?

this is the only thing i can come up with

Well if you use weaker attacks,you can get in more hits and score more points. Plus every motorcycle you destroy (and maybe every skateboarder you knock down,not sure) nets you 100 points. Picking up hearts also gives you 100 points. Also,you can point rack with the motorcycle guys on the first two stages. When two are on the screen at once,knock one off their motorcycle and defeat him while avoiding the other motorcyclist. Use all punches or regular kicks as you can get 8 hits in. And if your health is somewhat depleted,most often you will get a heart to drop when you blow up the motorcycle and/or defeat the biker dude.

Knocked that game down! Seriously, this is not a great game, but it is still enjoyable, especially if you love Double Dragon NES series. Plus, that song in stages 4 and 6 is awesome!

Needless to say,I'm done for this particular competition. Hopefully I'll be able to get a new controller soon as after Rollerball,it will be pretty difficult to play these games with a keyboard.

WOW! I guess I should consider myself lucky that my controller only ended up with a dent in it...

I chewed too much bubble gum and didn't kick enough ass   I intended on playing this again last night but fell asleep earlier than I wanted to and I won't get a chance to play today because I have to be to work soon.  I will be posting the Rollerball contest early today since I have to work late, so if you guys have had enough of this game, then give Rollerball a chance (when it's posted)

I wish I could make a run at that score, but I don't want my controller to end up like gutsman's.

Hah! It was already toast before I did that. I took it apart to check the sensors and the sensor to move left was not working at all. I tried to see if I could get it working....nope. No use for a busted controller,so I figured why not take some frustrations out on it. It was pretty cathartic. Now to see if I can get another controller as I think I only own two games from the remaining list.

I've got a spare controller just in case. There's also a game shop right up the street in the event of an emergency.

My brother bought this one some time back and he even said he has no idea why he bought it. I never played it before the contest so I've been playing this off and on all week and I can say I don't hate this game. Heck, I almost am scared to say I might like it even. It's been pretty enjoyable, though cheesy and not exactly a masterpiece, and I wish I still had off today because I was counting on it, but my schedule at work changed so this will be it.  It's not a great score and probably not top ten worthy, but its better than when I started at least.

It does seem to get a little better once you get used to it. It's still not great, but at least it's tolerable.

DING DING DING DING!!!! It's been a while, but it's time for another random prize. This time around the giveaway is going to be Mickey Mousecapade. The game has been cleaned and tested on my front loader and booted up the very first time I tired it. While I have cleaned the game, The contacts are still a little dirty, so I would recommend the winner give it another cleaning (or perhaps a deeper cleaning) once they receive it. The winner won't be disappointed I have given everyone a number 1 through 11. Caleb47 is the only one exempt from the random prize since he won one earlier in the year. Here is everyone's number:

1 - EoTN
2 - sunsetflip84
3 - Thundercat08
4 - Krunch
5 - bearcat-doug
6 - EgasKrad
7 - babywuchki
8 - MegaMartyr
9 - mattyjmania
10 - gutsman004
11 - guillavoie

I will reveal the winner shortly. Good luck everyone
