mchetzel Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I have it my all - played for 3 straight hours tonight and could not perfect the frog / bat / bird minefield in this glorious game. I made a perfect run to nearly the very end only to make a huge mistake and go right one more screen and slip down the waterfall to the right - ouch! The music from this game will haunt me for a while but not the defeat to a worthy opponent in Dr Moocowz. Good luck in the final! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks, @mchetzel for the good match! GL in the paper bracket! I've been defeated by @Lauren Tyler at least twice in the past, so perhaps if I do your stretching process before you do, that will be the edge I need!

Lauren Tyler Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Dragonfire, Mountain King, AND The End? Wow, when I'm done stretching I'll be able to do the splits! XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Even a small bit of improvement is improvement: 8,260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Dragonfire: 20760 - despite "knowing" what i should be doing, I still can't execute most of the time. I HATE accidentally running out of the door multiple times and watching my lives plummet Mountain King: 62310 - finally read the manual to figure out what the heck you're supposed to do. That's a must as I couldn't figure it out at all. I did manage to make it to the 2nd mountain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) OK, now it's on! EDIT: I wasn't kidding! 22,080 in Dragonfire, and I'm coming back for more! EDIT 2: And here's one with The End! 47,640 Edited August 29, 2021 by Lauren Tyler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'll probably get another chance Tuesday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) It's not easy for me because I have to spend time at my mom's place. She's been hospitalized for nearly a week so I have to feed the cat. Unfortunately, with my new work situation, I can't just commute between there, my mom's place, and my apartment. I have to spend time at my old place. Meaning playing isn't easy for me, but I'll do my best. Edited August 31, 2021 by Lauren Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The End: 55780 , baaaarely made it past wave 10 with one brick left to spare Mountain King: 99315, I hate bats Dragonfire: no improvement tonight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I may never get better at Mountain King, so I'll have to work at The End instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I have some bad news... My mother just called me. She told me she's going to die within a couple of days. So I'll try to keep playing when I can. But I can't guarantee anything. I want to take my mind off of the inevitable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm so sorry, Lauren. I will do my best to keep posting scores and hoping this can be a distraction for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Thank you. @Vocelli Do you think maybe we could dedicate Season 11 to my mother please? She was the one who introduced me to Atari. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 @Lauren Tyler We will dedicate Season 12 to her. This way more people will see the dedication. Hope that will be okay for you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I tried a bit more this morning, but no score improvements. I may have a little time on Saturday evening, but I kinda feel like I've peaked on The End and Mountain King. Dragonfire I couldn't get more than 7000 this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMooCowz Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 No score improvements for me and I won't have time to try again. So, if you beat either of my scores, congrats to you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'll see what I can do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) With only a few hours left, I'll give it one last effort. "Last" being the key word. I saw my mother and her doctor today, and she told me she's ending her treatments, meaning she will be passing in a few days. I tried a few times, but I just can't improve my score. Rather than concede, I wish to let the time run out since that is what is going on with my mother.
