Wow some good scores here guys. I was frustrated early but I'm starting to get the hang. I was sick as a dog so I missed a few days but the kid went to her moms tonight so I have the next few hours free to put some more runs together. Got a lot of catching up to do.

Didn't have too much luck with this one. Hadn't played it before, and my daughter let me get no time in on it this week. I tell you what though, screw those bouncing skulls from the Sea Hag. They are complete bullshit, you never know when they are going to drop down on you randomly.

Like most early 80s arcade games,it's pretty unforgiving. It makes me laugh seeing the roll score part of the rules. I fought tooth and nail to get what I did. And the only thing they could have done to give Bluto an even bigger advantage than he already has is for him to be able to throw bottles in 8 directions. May as well have,he can just about do everything else.

Really fun game, but also really frustrating, especially Bluto's jump down move. Congrats to rdrunner's phenomenal score, I couldn't imagine reaching that high. It would seriously strain me to play this for longer than a week.

Just want to give everyone a heads up that there's going to be a random prize drawing for the Popeye contest. I don't have time to do it tonight, but tune in tomorrow (Monday) when I reveal the prize and the big winner

Okay everyone, it's time to do another random prize drawing! The game up for grabs this time around is Spy Hunter for the NES. The game is in really nice condition with no flaws to the front, back, or end labels. The case is free of writing and other defects as well. The game has been cleaned and tested and worked great in my front loader! The winner of this game will not be disappointed I have assigned everyone a number from 1 to 12. rdrunner, treismac, CLAYB1RD, and babywuchki are exempt from this drawing since they have already won random prizes this year. Here are everyone's numbers:

1 - Notrevania
2 - Krunch
3 - pats1717
4 - bearcat-doug
5 - EgasKrad
6 - gutsman004
7 - NESMASTER14
8 - guillavoie
9 - knightriderce
10 - th0rpe
11 - smick
12 - mattyjmania

The winner of the drawing will be announced shortly. Good luck to everyone!

And we have a winner!  I have also attached the image since the number is difficult to read.



Congratulations to EgasKrad for winning Spy Hunter!

Holy crap!  I've been busy for the last couple of days so I haven't been around.  I'm surprised there was a drawing for this last week, much less winning it.  I just got the PM so thanks bimmy and everyone involved with the contests.  It's always a pleasure to play when I can.
