DING DING DING DING!!!!! That's right, it's random prize week again. The game giveaway and details will be revealed shortly.

Wow, I actually placed! And it's a prize week! Good luck, everyone!

The game up for grabs this time around is Blue Marlin.  I cleaned and tested the game tonight on my front loader and it started up on the first try.  The front label and end label are both in great shape with a small nick in the corner of the front label.  There are a couple of stickers on the cart which I will remove before mailing the game out.  It also has some black marker on the front of the cart which I will attempt to remove as much of as possible (no I will not use a magic eraser and remove the texture from the cart )  The winner won't be disappointed in this game  Here are a couple of pics:





I have assigned everyone who participated this week a random number to win the prize.  rdrunner, RetroDave, and treismac are exempt since they have already won a random prize drawing.  ookii_risu helped fund this prize and has requested to be exempt from winning this game.  Thanks for the donation, ookii  I will be using a random number generator to determine the winner and will post the picture on here as soon as I pick the number.  I will send the winner a PM after the drawing.  There are 18 people eligible for the game so everyone will be assigned a number 1 through 18.  Here's everyone's number:

1 - dev(2)
2 - hitmantommy
3 - TENGEN
4 - gutsman004
5 - UPN
6 - Krunch
7 - Spookter

Congratulations to Caleb47 for winning Blue Marlin

Congrats, Caleb!

Congrats to Tom on his score and to Caleb on the drawing!

I haven't been in many contests, but this is now, somehow, my third 10th place finish. I don't know if I should be proud or start running in a circle screaming :/

Okay, I'll see about uploading the video then.

I just use my old VCR to record my runs.  When I decide to post something, I need to playback the video and capture it with my Pinnacle Studio software.  Works well most of the time, but it's glitchy and sometimes doesn't do it right.  That's how I ended up with the sound issues on the first stage of my TMNT 3 run, for example.

And yes, it's a shame that TG is charging fees, but I understand the need for it at the same time.  The previous ownership went broke trying to maintain the site while working for free.

Just uploaded my Ice Climber run from last week!
