After three consecutives run beating the game, I'm still quite pretty far from that 250k score, lol.

Duncan did quite a nice job on this one, kudos to you!

Probably done with Paperboy considering that the RBI Baseball contest is up now. I had never played the nes version of Paperboy prior to this week but I did play it a few times at the arcade but I was terrible at it. However,I'm not terrible at RBI Baseball in the slightest.

I was able to get a few attempts in this week but still not many and I know I could've done much better.

29,900



The screen is slightly cut off in the picture, I just now noticed. Hope it's good enough.

Good grief! At this rate my 142k isn't even going to keep me in the top 5!

Really wish I had been able to play some more over the weekend. I could consistently hit any mailbox I wanted, and had no trouble dodging any threat... I just REALLY needed to improve my paper-to-window-smashing conversion rate.

The prize this time around is going to be a cart only copy of Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics 2 for the NES. The game is in fantastic condition and has no rips or tears on any of the labels. There's also no stickers or writing anywhere on the game. The circuit board looks awesome and I didn't even need to clean it. The game looks like it just came out of the box. Plus, the save battery still appears to work. The winner won't be disappointed in this game I have given everyone a number between 1 & 27 and will draw the winning number on a random number generator shortly. Here is everyone's numbers:

1 - mattyjmania
2 - Dennis Fleaman
3 - duncan
4 - th0rpe
5 - pats1717
6 - arnpoly
7 - Mega Mario Man
8 - sunsetflip84
9 - cgfeelit
10 - jump_man95
11 - guillavoie
12 - renderling
13 - Caleb47
14 - tyrantrum85
15 - treismac
16 - arch_8ngel
17 - dataz722
18 - quiet451
19 - dropkickorange
20 - Vectrex280996
21 - BriGuy82
22 - EgasKrad
23 - BilltownSparty
24 - Velinos
25 - gutsman004
26 - LukeAF24
27 - Thundercat08

Good luck in the drawing

You, my friend, are a walking contradiction. A label is a sticker LOLZ

But all joking aside, congrats to the winner!

Great time to bump this thread, cause there's a new twingalaxies record (289,550), and the video is posted on youtube :



Some observations :
The subscriber plan is to have a perfect delivery, than missing the new subscriber the day after, and repeat. The point is that house without mailbox are better unsubscribed, they're worth more points like that,

2 kind of mailbox house require one paper at the door and two in mailbox, while the other kind only two papers in the mailbox.

Otherwise, I have the impression that he knows some kind of pattern with the extra papers distribution, but this probably comes from me watching only his best run.

He dies on purpose in the first day cause he was out of papers.

The craziest thing is probably that while this run is just out of this world, you can clearly remark that there's still room for a higher score (given similar extra papers distribution).

I'm not good at Tecmo Bowl. But if there is a list of upcoming events, maybe I can see if there is an event for a game I'm good at in the coming weeks.
