Good luck

Also. Post your picks to add to the list of possible games for next week. If you post a score this week you get a pick.

Current list...
Smash TV, Galaxian, Shinobi.

I'd recommend watching the first few minutes of this vid.
It shows a couple of easy "exploits" and tricks to get a few extra points.

I guess so long as its a faithful version then sure yeah. Like pacman or galaga would be acceptable from mame or Xbox or ps3.

CathalDublin

18,900 (will edit post and add pic, update score)
pretty lame after watching that vide
And bubble bobble for next week

The Last Bandit

Thanks for the vid, so that's what the 2nd level looks like

brianon

I am so out of my depth here on this one. Early doors but only 10k.

brianon

Gonna pick Mikie as my pick for this week. So this will get added to the current list for possible picks going forward.

*fyi...you can pick the same game again to get it added to the list again. That way if you really want a game to come up you increase its chances. Once a game does get picked though, it is gone from the list for(the foreseeable future)ever.


EDIT
18600

brianon

Getting better

Thats a really good score,
think my best ever was 29800

How far did you get?
Hopefully I'll find some time to give this a go

krudler

Its hard as balls, really puts into perspective how good Billy Mitchell and Steve Weibe were to crack 1m points.

watch The King Of Kong, goes into that very question. He did send in a taped game to Twin Galaxies during the documentary, but he always advocated playing in front of a crowd, which Steve Weibe did. Its a good doc, a lot of it is edited to match Mitchell look like a (bigger) knob, and there's some dramatised stuff in it but its well worth a watch.

brianon

Weibe, Mitchell and Kong related...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Wk22SGlh7gQ

brianon

Managed
41200
41100
31000

Will be back in the morning for more
