Yes!! Good choice, nesruler. I used to play this game almost every day for an entire summer! This should be fun. I'd get started tonight but my thumb hurts from re-entering MTPO codes 10 million times...

Whatever indeed! First try, no practice etc. I don't really like Ice Climber so I might well just leave it at that.

I'll probably give this game another try some time later this week.  This game gets on my nerves though.  The jumping absolutely sucks!!

Callooh, Callay! I'm very happy about this score, probably the best I'll ever be able to do. The bonuses are key, they double each time... and apparently I'm a better player with a slight buzz on?
(please nobody beat this k?)
Edit: updated submission

This game is a mean bitch, bad hit detection, crappy jump mechanics, horrible instant death respawns...  Just pure evil.

This game is fun, but holy hell is it frustrating! The jumping in particular is so crazy bad it's not even funny!

Sadly, I don't have this cart so I won't be able to participate this week.
It looks so fun.

^^Bea, you can also play the games on an emulator if you don't have the cartridge. Here's the rules Jeremy came up with regarding emulators:

Emulators ARE allowed to be used in competition. However, nothing that may give a player an advantage in an emulator over playing on the system is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, save states, Game Genie codes, altered ROMS, and turbo controls.

Just capture a screenshot of your score & submit it like normal. See OSG's & AceEbb's scores above to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Then you can participate every week

I can't play on emulators at my computer for more then 5 minutes before getting bored.
I always prefer the real thing.
