Lol,I tried but my iphone camera does not like taking a picture of a TV with a mostly black screen.


Hehe, that gutsman looks awfully familiar

****NOTE****

There has been an update to the game list for the first half of 2014. Due to potential major rules complications with Renegade, it has been replaced with Battletoads & Double Dragon. I apologize in advance for any inconveniences this may cause, but switching to Battletoads & Double Dragon will make for a much smoother contest that week.

180,100 (+ 2,000 x 27 lives) = 234,100



Not as good as some of you guys but I'm pleased with this score for my third attempt at this game ever. Found all of the bonus stages, just missed a couple of one-ups and died 3 times.

Dang, nice score.  I actually ran into the problem of getting less drops from enemies, very few being strawberries on my final run.

I got really lucky with them. A lot more strawberry and banana drops in this run than I typically get. One of my deaths was from getting scrolled off screen after snagging a strawberry. Seemed like the most common way I died. I figure you'll beat this becore the day is up.

Nah, it's all yours.  I've got guests in town this weekend, and they're staying in the room with my 27" Trinitron where my NES & Genesis are hooked up.

My scores have been pretty lame ass for the past few weeks... but I'm still glad I got this in to keep my participation streak alive. Too much Michelob and Fireball whiskey this weekend.

I am going to try to participate in every game at least once. It is one of my summer goals.

I had a good streak of playing every week going but I felt so sick last night after painting all day I couldn't even play I went to bed wicked early.

Hopefully I didn't miss anybody.

Also, funny sidenote that all of the lives-for-pts debate was fairly moot since the raw scores rank identically to the augmented scores!

Sorry.  Was skimming through it pretty quickly and didn't see the non-bold number and attached, rather than embedded picture.

arch_8ngel it wouldn't let me quote you. But no problem, my phone won't let me do bold or anything. Dumb phone.
