God damnit I tried beating this one a few times a year or so ago and it kicked my ass. Definitely not my best game but I'll give it a go.

Hey, didn't we do this one already?

Oh, and hey, I got this one! If I'm able to have the tv for it, I'll be playing this one on my NES. I got several days off from work this week, should give me a little bit of time, more than I had for Kick Master, to play this one.

We did this one in 2009.  I thought it would be fun to re-visit one of the games we did before so some newer members and members who didn't get a chance to play it the first time around could get a chance to participate in this one.  Also, at some point this year, we will re-visit Castlevania.

Castlevania sounds good, but we'll have to make sure what happened last time don't this time, it was too easy looping the score. Was Kung Fu ever done, or did I miss that one?

We did Kung Fu last year.

This time around for Castelvania, it will probably just be one playthrough.

Yeah, I remember now missing Kung Fu, it was during that rough point in my life, made a few post about it, would've had that one easily. I was really sad that day, wanted to play that one so bad then. But, I'm sure it'll roll around again some time, just like Battletoads is. And now that I can play it on an actual NES again, I may, not sure yet, but may record my best attempt. Like I used to. Just a thought. But then also thinking I might still hold off, wait til my collection grows a bit more, get back most of my favorites so that way I can keep recording for every or at least almost every contest.

Heck, my first time (and only time) beating this game was back at that first contest for it in 2009, maxed out the score, but had 17 deaths then. Don't know how well I could do on one life, gotta get in some practice again for sure.

And another game I don't have.
I should get back at collecting NES games to take part of these contests more often.
And I am certainly looking forward for revisiting Punch Out! next year. I have gotten slight better at it.

I think I might actually give this one a shot. I've actually started to play again here and there.

Woohoo! First game I can join in for the year! (how bad is that?) Of course, only having played the game a few times, it'll be participation points only I'm sure. If I can even find my dang camera.

Good job, MrMiniMog! My first attempt today netted me 63,000..... Not too hot.


Edit: Not sure I'm going to have much time for this - here's my second run. I suck.

Too burnt out to play any more, but not bad for today. I was so focused on hitting the birds I didn't even get to the third level.

EDIT: see update

Died in a really easy spot.  Smashed into one of those gray pods that moves up and down.  Can't believe I hit it.

I might have to give this one a shot. It's my wife's favorite game, and her best friend (who spent hours playing this with her) is coming down for a week. Should be fun!

I hate the third level with the passion. You really got to play it over and over and over. It doesn't help that I havent played this in a very long time. After an hour of playing I finally passed the third level with a decent score. 

@ bimmy_lee That is a sweet score dude. You already almost have more points then me and your still on the third level. I really gotta try and kill enemies with the 5,000 bonus more often. 

New high score will be posted soon.
