For me this game is frustrating. I don't know how folks are getting these huge scores.

I concur. I can say that this is the worst game I have ever played for the contests. I love the contests of course,but this game is just awful.

Just for the hell,my top 5 least favorite games we've played for the contests (that I have participated in):

DK 3
Joust
Rampart
Boulder Dash
Rollergames

I have a feeling that Snoopy game is going to make it on this list when we play it.

I really enjoyed the SNES port of Rampart back in the day. I guess the NES port is pretty bad?

Donkey Kong 3 is a hybrid platformer/shooter that is a weak platformer and a weak shooter. Oh well.

With games around like DK 3 at the time,no wonder there was a video game crash.

I'm getting married this Saturday, and apparently that means I've got a ton of things to do between now and then. If I get a chance, I'll try to at least post participation, probably will be out next week entirely.

Congratulations, man! It's a great time of year to get married and/or take a vacation!

Updated my score above. Really easy game, I'm legit surprised.

they might bust you for not having a pic right after the roll. but your new so i vote your ok but not everybody is as cool as me so idk.

definitely missing a pic

Guillavoie said it's fine.

helps that they have the round counter so you can kind of gauge the score to how far along in the game you are.

I'll probably just post something minimal and move on. My burning hatred for this game is strong and no way I'm forcing myself to chase these scores.

It's pretty fun for a while, then becomes tedious and I end up dying stupid deaths! Not sure I can crack that million mark, but I'm gonna keep playing this week cuz wtf else am I gonna do 😂

It's tough for me to put up a good score for games that I don't like. So that's hindering my progress for sure. I had a score of 168,800 but didn't take a picture because I wanted to try to for 200k but never got there.

Maybe I'll just suck it up and try....I don't know...

I don't know that I've ever placed well in an arcade game in the contests, except for Balloon Fight I suppose. I will probably end up with a modest participation score by the end of the week.
