Joust Obelix Mr. Do!'s Castle Mario Bros. also a 2nd for Karo's suggestion: Sky Skipper and a 2nd for Gorfy's suggestion: SpaceMaster X-7 (which I suggested last year and Gorfy 2nded!) wow, that year went by fast. top 5 list for arcade classics Frogger Kangaroo Millipede Mr Do! Ms. Pac-Man and I would also like to 2nd Oyama's vote for Vanguard my homebrew picks Boulder Dash (don't know if that one is available or just a proto or what) Chetiry (excellent !!) Juno First (!!) Pac-Man 4K p.s. -- and a 2nd for Lid's vote: Star Castle paddle picks KABOOM! Tac-Scan Bumper Bash rarely or never played Springer ! (it's better than it looks )

Super Breakout game 7 improvement (and new personal record!): 2501 new combined score: 5052

Looks like that last round is going to be super fun & exciting !! cheers to Vocelli, Jr. for that draw I hope the mouse is working for you Lid

Super Breakout: 4350 game 5: 2551 game 7: 1799 -beat my personal best for game 5

Super Breakout 2963 Game5: 1554 Game7: 1409 I have pics for these, will post them soon. Looking for an improvement! With an opponent like Lid I won't be letting up til Sunday...

Northcoast & Gorfy are hardcore. Berzerk is hardcore. no improvement yet!

is the contest still going? I definitely have some tips I didn't see that until now... switch players with B, & I also hold the direction toward the player I want, don't know if this makes a difference. get ahead of the opponent players by switching to a player in front of them. then it is fairly easy to steal the ball by pressing A when you get close & it gets easier with practice. Staying in front of them will cause them to dodge around & not shoot as much too. when I was like 12 or so & used to immediately steal back the ball almost every time I made a goal, & I had a way of nailing 3-pointers almost every time. I probably won by 100pts back then! hope I wasn't too late to give tips! and I hope they can help (oops I got A & B mixed up, hope that's right)

Actually, the miracle occurance I've mentioned is when Snowman kills me just after I got the snowflake! I was late catching the screenshot in my first miracle picture, but the spot I died at was right there at the end of my Freezer Burn pattern, and a step past the snowflake to the left. unfortunately I'm not at home right now or I would have given it a final run!

Good times y'all... & HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm honored to face our fearless captain! my 1st submission for the tournament: 15230 almost forgot how brutal this setting is I just got the Voice Enhanced Berzerk which is fun but it delays between the levels! don't think it is usable in a normal Berzerk contest

Lid I saw your video, yes! smooth mooves... it's fun to see someone else's play which is a lot different from mine, i keep wanting to go back for more improvement but alas we are finished! but I may keep playing & post any improvements at HighScore.com. It's true, but I do it every time and it almost always works! the only time I lose it at the end is if I get a "miracle" snowflake! because Snowman is harmless for a moment after the snowflakes I can throw caution to the wind at the end of Freezer Burn BTW, I did once get another miracle snowflake at that part...

I just saw my Krystal Keep video & can see what you mean Lid! that was actually the first time I got a perfect run on that, so I've improved my pattern now & get perfect every time! It's the easiest one for me now, grab everything but the last 4 snowflakes right around the middle, then I grab all four of them & then into the center for the last gift & the enemies are helpless. (like in the wedgie picture) You are relentless in your gaming & can really hold it down a long time in a game, congratulations for that Monster score... I wish we had more time, even though it was a month long ! P.S. Congratulations Fushek for the yellow score, I was very glad to see a 2nd player do that!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! & thanks for the challenge, look out next year and just for fun... my favorite part: Carol wedgies Ghost:

Thanks so much for your comments Lid! I wanted very much to make a huge improvement, I was just getting good at Toyland (your video was very helpful), but got really busy & was out of town for a few days, etc. I've had little time to play this week. I don't have an improvement so I'm sitting on my last score! Another part of my problem was that I got into the habit of always going for a perfect every level... couldn't seem to break the habit. Thank you DZ ! It's definitely been fun! here are a few more of my perfects:

here are the links to my videos of getting perfect practice runs in the master stages: Haunted Hollow: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS1-P_zpscad88f32.mp4.html Frosted Maze: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS2-P_zpse57e649a.mp4.html (of all the ones, I failed to have the vid for Candy Cove! I'll have to do that one again) Icicle Lane: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS4-P_zpsef5546d5.mp4.html Snowflake Garden: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS5-P_zps4a5883a4.mp4.html Freezer Burn: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS6-P_zps188bfb5e.mp4.html Krystal Keep: http://s783.photobucket.com/user/SBAZ1/media/CarolvsGhostMpS7-P_zps13744e16.mp4.html

finally !!!

I had a feeling Oyama would be killing it with this game, considering his monster score in Super Cobra for 2600. I called that game "Super Narrow Crevice" because the worst part is crashing on the walls when it's nearly impossible to dodge through. not surprised it's the same with this game 24260 I bet Scramble inspired "Gradius" more than any other...

377,700 didn't mean to quit! I was enjoying it but I started zoning out & found myself doing weird stuff like pushing "up" to jump, or pushing the button when I wanted to duck. I think Vocelli was right, beer & KK do not mix... if I had time to play today I would have had another go at it, but at least I'm very happy to have finally broke through in this fun game... And hey, look Jacob my score is also the same as my Gyruss score! 377K Congratulations to Liduario, Northcoast & Botbird (cool name), for keeping focused for such a long time!

still no 2nd time Christmas. today's score: 2 cats here are very interested in Christmas Carol. I was enjoying them them watching, but then one started pushing buttons and managed to disable Carol. luckily I survived and resituated the cats & had a good game going. then choked.

NO IMPROVEMENT. Having a rough time, but i just found out about unlocking Toyland practice! This is encouraging, thank you Dz... I do have perfects up through level 22 now I have some videos of my Perfect runs on the master stages in practice mode, i was hoping to post but don't have time to upload right now, I'll post them soon, hopefully thurs. ...welcome Shera! and Merry Christmas gamers!

36 played this one a lot in my teen's ... watch out, if I can figure out my old 3-pointer trick it's going to get serious ...

11,650 nothing much yet, little time to play. my first goal is my personal best which was 31K. nice Jacob, 396 just like your Gyruss Score! and WOW congratulations I am amazed, it looks like you will make it into the bracket challenge! very impressive Cheers for Scrabbler and Karo, it's a close race to the Gold bracket! I am also very happy to see CraftsmanMike and Miss26 in the tournament :thumbsup: and sad to see Shinobiedo & Centiqueen not in it ! NorthcoastGamer, your win is especially impressive since you missed a week or two! And with Liduario playing how did you do it! many surprise 1st place posts at the last day, that made it exciting to be at or near the top, knowing you hadn't posted yet... good times! Atarian7 it's good to see you here, another player I admired before joining (oyama & roadrunner were as well) Merry Christmas / happy holidays HSC gamers! It's been a pleasure playing with you all this season...

Lookin forward to the medal tournament !! It's on HSC gamers! rooting for Subterranea for next season... I also enjoyed Sub Scan very much. It is limited but I really got into it, especially when listening to that music from Metroid Prime 2. cheers

Oh boy. Love this game but never have gotten real good at it. Looking forward to tonight

Awesome north coast And congrats to lid as well for the extreme scores

P.s. congratulations fushek and Liduario! Inspiring because you prove it can be done
