And I know that this is not my typical setup, so here's a wider image. Not that my credibility with this score is expected to come into question, but I'd be happy to address any concerns over this mid-week change of setup:

Very nice! I can't play more than 3 runs at a time on this game, I get way to frustrated.

Damn, had my best run and then blew my last two lives with nothing to show for them thanks to the spotty controls

Finally cracked that 50k(barely but I did)! Also.... Has anyone else noticed that James Robot is a no show this week ? I'm guessing his wife has his balls locked up above the fireplace!

Hahaha, that rivalry/comedy is one of the best new thing in the contest this year!

I'm glad you guys dig my poetry,
Because I'm way better at it than Trigonometry!
And don't you all worry, the Bimmy poetry is here to stay,
Because I like trying to come up with rhymes for the games we play.
And with that, let's take a look at the upcoming games list,
Since you all know that playing these will be very tough to resist.
Next week we play the super cool Double Dragon,
And the following week you all better jump on the Ghosts n' Goblins bandwagon.
After that we have the good old Black Box Baseball,
And then don't cha' know we follow that up with Legendary Wings, y'all!
The next week we play a fun little puzzler called Yoshi's Cookie,
But then the following week we take a break, so it will be okay to play some hooky!
The next week Bubble Bobble's the name of the game,
And then it's Battletoads, and that one is not lame.
We follow that up with Adventure Island Two,
And then the next game, Q-Bert, is sure to make you all swear beaucoup!
After that is Golf if sports games are your thing,
And then Gyruss will throw its hat into the ring!
Whoa, I seem to be getting way ahead of myself,
I mean, just look at how many titles you have pulled off your game shelf!
So, go out there and play your NES games everyone,
And I hope you all will at least have a little fun.

-------------------------

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

"Wait...Bimmy and Jimmy??  How'd they make a mistake like this!?  Bimmy isn't even a real name!"

Beware the Bimmy Marsh!

He has been mysteriously quiet all week. I haven't had a chance to play any more since Tuesday, so he should have plenty of time to pass my 142k unless I can get some time tomorrow to give it another shot.

I used to be kinda good at this game and I am also struggling. I found I'm a bit faster on the d-pad than I am on the advantage joystick. I launched a few creatively loud swears myself last night. I'll try again with more whiskey... or maybe less whiskey... I forget which works better.

I got my high score drunk so.....I think more whiskey.
 

A note to anyone else experimenting with their intoxication level while playing this week:  Tequila did NOT work for me.

Good luck everyone.

I honestly hate tequila...if I am drinking liquor it is whiskey/ginger.

I wonder how many will be forced to play "Kickmaster" in emulation for the contest. It looks like a really fun game and I love NES action platformers, but it's expensive!

I can pretty much get 40k+ every attempt now....Richard that tip about the ghosts only exiting the center always going left completely changed my game.... I honestly can't believe I never noticed that for how many times I have played this game.
