Of course you can submit more than one score. But, to make it easier for the scoreboard keeper, try to only have one score with your picture in the entire thread at all time. You can either edit the original score post with your new score or making a new one and editing the earlier.

Just throwing it out there,but I LOVE the weekly battle and subsequent smack talk between RichardHead,JamesRobot,and now SuperJimtendo.
Wish there was more of it going on.

In my opinion it's on par with the Santa newsletter.

I mean,who doesn't love one competitor calling another a chumpstain?

Seriously, how can you match trash talk combined with home invasions? It's basically what I would imagine happening if Shane was ever in Cincinnati.

 

To be fair, SuperJimtendo was most likely invited over by Richardhead's woman while he's away. She hates watching Monday Night RAW alone. That being said, I plan on mopping up against Dildo and Scroto Baggins again this week.
To be fair...... Captain Scrotacles(AKA JamesRobot) only has a chance at "mopping" up because he couldn't pull out for a second time and has a week off of work! I've been out of town for almost two weeks and can't wait to be back playing my NES. On a side note.... I do already have a better score than you JamesRobot, just haven't had good enough WiFi to post yet. Better get to mopping butthole baby cuz my score gets posted in the morning!

Took a break because my camera needs to charge but I somehow beat Athens on the first try. My freaking hands are drenched in sweat!

Good job, man. I always run out of juice right near the end of that stupid track.

Just wanted to say that I picked the first radio station in the poll, though it's a close call between them.

Does anyone else choose a different tune for each level? I like to give the game the illusion of having designed music for each stage.

I listen to station 3 the most, but I do switch them up over the course of the game. I usually start with station 2 and switch to station 3 with the next course. I typically listen to station 2 on the Athens and Snow White Line courses too. I rarely listen to the first station unless I'm really tired of the other two. Based on the current poll results, it doesn't look like too many people care to listen to the radio while racing.

Yeah makes sense man, Bimmy ended up responding to my PM about it as well.

I will be back at er tonight I have a good feeling I can top my last score easily.

Hopefully some more scores start rolling in before the end of the week. The votes in the radio station poll are currently leading the scores posted 19 to 13.

For the night levels I choose radio station 3 as it is more upbeat and fits the mood.

Any other time I go with station 2.

I agree.  The last leg of Athens is definately the Kung Fu Magician...

no music might pull the upset!

I remember when I was a kid playing this game, thinking, "what's wrong with my Nintendo? This game has no music.". I switched from a/v to rf back to a/v. Other games still had music, it wasn't my Nintendo, so I just played with no music lol. Not until maybe three years ago did I realize you have to turn it on.

It's either... go too fast, crash, and run out of time. Or be careful, take it slow, and run out of time.

I'm just sitting back and waiting for Bert to beat my honorary score since he looks like he would've been close if he had finished the last race.

I feel like the difficulty is pretty well done in this game. There's a steady progression from other cars being dumb obstacles to active antagonists. Track 5 is where I really notice that the other guys go into full on asshole mode.

That's what I've always thought. It seems like once you get to the Los Angeles track, the cars start intentionally trying to cut you off and crash you as opposed to how they basically just drive along at their own pace through the first four tracks.
