score updated, had to suicide my last 2 balls to post in time!



Don't feel bad, based on my experience of high scoring first balls, those other two were only going to average 100k each

It was actually a tough decision whether to keep playing or post the score. I had the 3 multi-balls going and I was one mini rc pro-am bonus game away from getting that UFO/flying saucer, which I'm pretty sure was about a 1 million point bonus when I got the first time.
 
Yeah, based on what I read, the first wizard bonus (3 safe games and 3 helicopter games) is worth 1MM, the second wizard bonus (3 more of each) is worth 2 million.

 
Oh well... I'll have to add this one to the list of games I'd like to revisit at some point (along with Qix, Dig Dug2, Adventure Island, etc.). I'm sure that when Bunny Boy releases his AVS with the scoreboard feature it will add some extra motivation to go back and try to top some of the old scores we've posted. 

  I agree with all of those but Qix.

That game just keeps going like Tetris, it just becomes close to unplayable in the low-teens.

Damn, I'm an idiot.

I updated my score after figuring out I didn't read the picture taking guidelines for this week correctly. I was dead tired when I posted originally on Sunday night and I never re-read it after, and also didn't take a look at the thread again until last night, which is when I knew I screwed up. So, yeah, I had to put up a worse score than I had so I can get at least a participation point and hopefully this will be the only time I do that because of a mistake on my part.



What was wrong with the other picture?



I took it after the high score entry screen.  I dont' think it mattered, but still I'm a big stickler for the rules so I redid it.



I suspect it would be allowed. Post the better score alongside.
I just updated my post with both scores.  No matter which score is accepted, I sucked this week ]]> NintendoAge 2014 Weekly Contest Presents: High Speed http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=135512 2014-10-05T21:57:03 -05.00 bimmy_lee 56 Score: 18,292,120

Tried to get a higher score than this but did not even come close, heavy RNG in this game but it was still enjoyable I thought
