Not a fan of puzzle games.

I allowed your score since this is the first time you have participated this year, but please make sure to take a picture of your computer monitor if playing on an emulator. I no longer accept submissions of scores where a screenshot is taken using the "print screen" option on a computer.

My user name is in the screenshot, u see the UPN logo on the right hand side?

UPN the former home of WWE Smackdown!

Bimmy means taking a picture like this:

As opposed to this:

This is exactly what I'm referring to regarding pictures. There was no issue with the user name in the picture, as I saw the UPN logo.

OK, just thought i could use printscreen to save on my camera battery.
I'm gonna go watch Moesha, UPN forever!

@ Vectrex: LOL! Yeah,you'll overtake me if I don't keep trying to up my score. I'm really enjoying battling it out with everyone. Wish we could get even more people involved. Maybe I should post a "rah rah come on and play" thread about it...

This kind of stuff is exactly why I like people posting their scores early and often....you see where the bar has been set,which fuels the competition to try to surpass the current high score and makes for a much more exciting contest. My opinion on it anyway.

It's amazing how you can just get in the zone on this one, and keep going, and going, and going. Can't imagine I'll do any better than this.

Man this game's scoring is SLOW AS BALLS. Tedious, in fact. Gave it a quick go, ended up with 5623 or something. Not bad for a first attempt, but man, this one gets to me. I prefer Cookie.

Damnit Crabby. I just beat my last score but I am still a bit shy of that. Maybe I should cancel all my plans for tomorrow...

Haven't played this game until this week. It is quite addictive!

I keep hearing Yoshi say the word "BEEFY" when I get the 500-point egg.

Thanks for writing. I apologize for the delay in responding to your email during this busy time of year.

In regard to your email, it is great to hear that you have found a copy of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. Perfect dark was a first person shooter game that was released in May of 2000. I personally enjoyed this game a lot during my mid-teen years since it allows for up to four players to play at one time. All the Perfect Dark cartridges were black.

I hope this information is what you are looking for.

-Response I received from Nintendo customer support when I asked if they knew any thing about a black Perfect Dark cart.

I think it's great that this game isn't too much like Tetris or Dr. Mario. I once thought so before I ever tried it, but now that I have, the only similarity I can find is that they both involve pieces of some sort falling down the middle of the screen.

^^ Good job Tom! I knew you'd be posting at least a top 3 score. I guess now I need to play a few rounds this morning after I get off from my 2nd job.

After sucking at Yoshi and posting a score less than 5000 Pic to come
I decided I was much more suited to Yoshi's Cookie
I sat down and played until I got gameover and Whipped up over 14000 points and made it to 2-7
Not bad for a game I havent touched in over 2 years
