  1. It's interesting that I had more strike points than you and Ed, despite my horrible job of saving bases and cities (impressive that you both saved them all). Sometimes my missiles cannot reach theirs (won't shoot far enough below me) and I'm out of luck if the satellite isn't in the area at the time. I'd guess my approach is very different from yours and Ed's and probably more full of panic, as I'm often switching to different parts of the grid quickly. Whether method or reaction - or a combination of the two - you and Ed have done brilliantly in protecting the bases and cities. This has always been a fun game for me to play (love the movie, too). In my opinion, this is one of those games where it's tough to find that fine line between patience and urgency. Edit: I see that Ed had almost 2 million strike points in his lower score, but fewer strike points in his higher score. I guess the strike points will be random as you never know how many missiles and how quickly they get into your airspace. More strike points probably means more missiles came in, which also means the higher risk of losing your bases and cities.
  2. War Games [skill 2]: 53,720,000 pts. Love this game, but it was easier to play on the original hardware back in the day than on an emulator. Feels weird using a gamepad controller in your hand and then having to go back to the keyboard to press the number pads to access different parts of your map and ready different weapons. Colecovision controller would've been really handy for this.
  3. Sometimes when I go nuts with playing a game and posting multiple scores, it causes anarchy.
  4. Tarzan [skill 2]: 226,250 pts. I was able to beat the idol stage about six or seven times this time. Feels like the more stages you beat, the more screens there are before you reach the idol/temple again. Little monkey's actually helpful because you hear him screeching whenever you are near trap holes; however, I was fortunate enough to spend most of my time in the air swinging from vine to vine this time. The yellow snakes stayed down low on the ground for the most part this time. I have no problems handling the beast men in the trees, but the yellow snakes can be annoying up there.
  5. Aaaw. Did we have to play this game? How about a nice game of Chess? Just kidding. Love this game!
  6. Tarzan [skill 2]: 56,500 pts. Well, finally got Tarzan to unleash his call on the idol stage. Was getting annoyed with pressing the buttons and having nothing happen until I realized I had to hit the number keys. The next stage was very unforgiving with yellow snakes in many of the trees and holes every time I land on the ground. A fun game once you get used to it.
  7. ColEm 4.0 is the one I use (Windows PC version, by the way). I forget the name of the old one I used so many years ago, but too many games would never start/work on the older ones (Canival, Smurf Rescue, etc.). Others have been listed as unsafe by my antiviru software (BlueMSX, for instance), so ColEm is what I always use because so many games work on it and I've never had issues with it. The homebrew games that require the Super Game Module sadly do not work on ColEm, however.
  8. Carnival [skill 2]: 133,200 pts No shots were fired at the bears during the bonus stages. 100k rollover happens moments after 19:05 in the video. There was only one duck remaining on the screen and I fired my final bullet at it, only to have a second duck appear just before my bullet hits the other one, thus causing a game over.
  9. Carnival [skill 2]: 117,240 pts Played poorly in this session as I often shot the B-O-N-U-S letters out of order (costing me thousands in missed points). Nevertheless, I decided I'd do this session without firing a shot at the bears in the bonus stages (due to how oddly the bonus stages acted in my other video). If NCG is fine with it, I'd like this score to replace my previous score. Despite not firing at the bears, I still managed to get a rollover. Note: 100k rollover happens moments after 19:42 in the video.
  10. Carnival [skill 2]: 209,870 pts. Made a video for this one because the score rolls over to zeroes at 100k. Sometimes the bonus stage acted weird and the bullet wouldn't go far enough to hit the bears at all. 100k happens after 18:40 200k happens after 32:35
  11. Large Marge sent me.

  12. The JAWS marathon would be much better if they just continued showing the first one and ignored the others.

  13. Mountain King [skill 1]: 32,720 pts. Haven't played this game in a long time. Tired of the bats snatching the crown off of my head before I can make it back to the top. Used to be better at avoiding them.
  14. Received my shirt today, as well. Love it! Thanks for the pins and shirts, guys!
  15. So that's what happened! I had a few runs where I saw one flag all by itself on the far left with no second flag to accompany it; I just assumed the game was glitched.
  16. If you exercised your right to vote, then good for you. I don't care for politics and what you choose to do or not to do; however, if you didn't vote for me, then *beep* you!

      I wish. I didn't inherit billions from my great grandfather to campaign at all. But I can shut anybody out for three innings!
