Me, skinny, bert, arn, tables and guts in the finals.

Me and guts just lucked out big time for our games in the second round. If it had been something like Dr. Mario I would have been doomed.

You did good. Von Kaiser is tough to get. And don flamenco has to be timed so perfectly I can’t get it everytime. Hippo is just luck of the pattern he gives you. 

tables times are in world record territory. I can’t figure out how to get macho that quickly.

Actually only a three week tournament this year, as it was in 2016. I shudder to think what we'll be playing in the finals this week.

I’ll be lucky just to make podium. 

Final is stacked with great Nintendo players.

I was browsing previous contest threads the other day. For supposedly being awful at shooters, Krunch put up a good Abadox score in 2012. That's a much tougher game than Life Force.

Platformer might be my best shot for a title.

I'm good at shooters but not the best in this group.

Not very good at beat um ups or arcade

Puzzle video games have no reason to exist.

I’m done either way so he can go ahead and post now. I’m watching the barn burner that is the Cowboys/Eagles game.

That's true. I was just surprised to see someone who "sucks at shooters" post a good Abadox score. That's like an even harder version of Life Force.

Yeah it's my pick for most underrated NES game. It's always being slagged just because it's hard.

Have you ever played Mad City,the original Japanese version? It’s so easy! I literally beat it on my first attempt. Of course I played it after the last time Bayou Billy was played for the contest so I was very prepared.

Never played Mad City. I know that it's ridiculously easy compared to the version that we got. One of the biggest sticking points in the US version is the driving stages and they're much easier in Mad City.

If they had made Bayou Billy like 50% as hard as the version we got,I think it would be a top 20 game for a lot of people.

At least they could have had a health bar on the driving stages. That would have gone a long way in toning down the difficulty. I remember renting the game as a kid and the driving was where I got stuck.

Also could have had enemies take less hits.

But I'm fine with the difficulty as it is.

Nah. I can’t stand bayou billy. The controls are crap and it’s so hard to hit an enemy. The driving stages are a reprieve from the crappy beat um up parts.

I felt very accomplished beating it,that is for sure.
