^Don't worry, I'm sure we will play it soon. I also have been wanting to try that one out but any black box contest is a good one.


Ah, it's alright, Krunch. I definitely enjoy Ice Climber even with the endearingly strange jump mechanics being what they are.  Although I grew up with Joust on the 2600, the moment I tasted Balloon Fight I was converted.  Sure. I enjoy Joust still [a good bit, actually], but Balloon Fight just controls considerably smoother and it feels so much more fair with its wonderfully pteradactyl-free skies.  ]]> NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-10T11:41:46 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-10T11:08:15 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-10T08:23:13 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 Originally posted by: ookii_risu

Tom??? Where the **** is Tom?? Now I feel like I didn't win this legitimately Oh well, I'll take it
  Sorry I missed out on this one.  Had a busy work week and then was entertaining company all weekend.  Not a fan of Joust anyway, so it was a good week to miss for me.

Nice going with the scores everyone! ]]> NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-10T06:50:54 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-09T23:18:34 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-09T22:47:19 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 ]]> NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-09T22:45:15 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 Originally posted by: guillavoie

It definitely is a classic. Had some fun along with the frustration.
Yeah, I get what you mean, it seems like winning a contest without Tom is not the same. Now that we have Tom, we just can't go back to a no-Tom contest

But your score still rocks so don't let this undermine your well deserved victory
Maybe he lost track of time because he has been playing since Monday morning and still hasn't lost all of his lives yet.

Sorry dev, but I couldn't count the 78,000 score since it wasn't played on the NES version of Joust. However, I accepted the later scored you posted. ]]> NintendoAge 2013 Weekly Contest Presents: Joust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=104465 2013-06-09T22:20:00 -05.00 bimmy_lee 88 ]]>
