The order is first by date/time added and secondly alphabetical. What I do: get the files I want on the SD card, move them onto my PC, erase those files on the SD card that I just moved, then move them all back to the SD card. Works like a charm!

60,860 Wow, I don't think I've ever been the first to post before...

7950 First time playing this one - for this week this is taking too much mental energy...

162,300 I'm assuming this is game one where we start with two lives in reserve vs game one where we would start with four lives in reserve? Don't know why but this really made me want to go and listen to the music from "The Legend of Zelda"... In your head now too? Sorry...

18000 In the words of my four year old "poor girl, she's dead". "Oh no honey, this is a game of tag where when you catch someone you flip them upside down..." The perfect game before a shift in the ICU on Halloween night...

126,310 One game (first game I've played in years and much higher than I've ever scored). My wife also came in to see me die at the end, but I think I was about gone anyway.

83,852 Got the hang of this one right away. Almost got that suitcase! A stelladapter is a must if you don't have the cart. I have an old slik stik (with the orange ball on the top). Very durable, very short movements needed to move from left to right. Horrible button, but that's no problem here. I still hate airports...

400,870 I may have read this in the last forum but... after you drop two rocks the fruit appears (which in later levels gives you more points than killing the monsters). As with so many of the games we could probably all get higher scores if it weren't for a few mistakes at some of the easy plays (I expect to loose a few when things get tough but I get mad when I lose them at easy parts). I'm using firefox and I have no problem seeing the scores. I'm guessing the problem with the "continue" is that it erases your score if you hit the button after the game ends (which I almost did).

87,800 Got lucky. Kind of like playing a slot machine. Keeps you going because you think "Hey, if I did that then surely I could do better..." So not so. Tried to grab as many items as I could according to what was at the bottom, but when I couldn't get what I needed I grabbed whatever I could.

14,880 I'm done for this week. The red meteor keeps getting me when it comes off from the sides. I shoot and miss. Could do without this little wrinkle.

84,800 At 80k things get a lot more difficult. I will say it seemed I could work my way up the left side of the fireball level and then come back down the ladder in safety - the fireballs don't seem to cross until you have more than half the rivets taken out.

60,475

32,979 Trying to think of something witty to say since my score is so bad...

26,080 You guys got some good scores. I use to be able to manage just get past the rocket/shuttle thing that comes up from behind... for a game that seems so easy it sure is hard...

5.84 Seems it doesn't matter much when you shift so long as you're getting wheelspin. In fact, I got the same results when I shifted to fourth in less than 2 seconds. Really adds a challenge to have to not blow the engine at the end of the course... It would be neat if the countdown was random - this would test your reflexes instead of your timing (which always gets better with practice). Those TwinGalaxies scores are amazing...

36,100 That's (flicker) a hard (flicker) game, but it is a lot (flicker) of fun. I kept having the bad guys spawn directly on me. Finally I had a run of good luck but managed to loose three lives within less than a minute. Never played this one much before - kind of creeps me out (played Dig Dug afterward and it really hit me how creepy this one is).

999,999 One hour and ten minutes...

1000

525 That's a fun game! It's too bad that there's no way to get the word out ahead of time about homebrew titles. If I'd have known about this last week I might have purchased it to play this week. (of course then those less scrupulous would have the opportunity to practice up!)

827 Ok, I'm not accusing anyone of cheating... but... FYI... is everyone aware that (on stella) even though you set you left difficulty to "A" and right difficulty to "B" that when you close and re run this game both difficulty switches revert to "B"? I could barely get 500 points and came back after a few days and was amazed when I hit 4k with no problem. I got to wondering if the switches reset themselves so I reset the difficulty switches appropriately and (with 4 extra lives and 4 bones) couldn't even clear the screen. Then I checked under game properties and found the both switches default to "B".

63,500 I'd never played this one before. Didn't like it much at first but now I'm thinking about buying it...

56,100 And you get at least 3 baits for the MM man.

You might try some contact cleaner. I found some at Menard's of all places (they'd sent me a coupon or I wouldn't have known that they carried it). It states "CRC QD Contact Cleaner" on the can. I used it to clean a few of the switches on my light sixer that have been spotty for 10 years and now they work great. (Word of caution: it also changed the way the switches feel. I found on one switch that I could clean the top and bottom exposed contacts by spraying this stuff on a paper towel and then rubbing the contact vs spraying directly into the switch. Perhaps it messed with 30 years of gunk buildup (thus the different feel) or what I'm worried about is that I destroyed some part of the switch where maybe some rubber slides over plastic or something.) At any rate, (and you may want to try this on a duplicate game just in case) you may try spraying on a cloth and then wiping the cart contacts clean. I've not tried it since the very light sanding has restored all my games a year or so ago, but I have a feeling it would work. I've had the most trouble with the Parker Bros games and very little with Activision (and none with Atari).

And you will get more money, the faster you get there and the faster you catch the ghost you will get more money. I think the max is 700-800 dollars.
