28,600 One of my favorite games, unfortunately I haven't had much time to play, hopefully I can do better before the deadline.

Are you guys playing on real 5200's using stock controllers? If so, do you have trouble stopping at the edges and getting onto the moving platforms?

All week I was using an emulator and a CX-40 with my all-time favorite accesory, Joe Grand's magnificent Stelladaptor!

 

BUT, my palm and fingers were getting sore. Yesterday afternoon I hooked up my 5200 and began playing with a real 5200 controller. I was more comfortable, had a much easier time getting *to* Stage 5, and had no controller troubles at all.

 

I can only blame my own lack of skill for my troubles.

 

If any of you are looking to hire a computer geek in the Northern NJ area that is very skilled with networking, Windows and AD, a little bit knowledgeable concerning Linux, and at a level that will make YOU look really good (in comparison) at videogames, contact me!

There's a thousand ways to die in Miner, and I've found 'em all.

 

About 100K or so (see my last posted score) has become my average, but I can't really beat it except by a few points here & there, so I'm done. I have gotten to zone 3 but my problem is I keep dying early in stupid ways - mostly falling. Well, the game was really fun and despite feeling I coulda done better, I'm satisfied.

I finally made it over 150,000 Barely. 150,870 Leve 3-9. I will try to catch Darthkur, but it will be tough.

That's it for this round. I hope everyone had fun in the mines.
