2022 VGS NES Weekly Contest - Pipe Dream!

[0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277]

Apparently, the game will crash right before the 8,388,600 mark. At this point I'm not going to bother trying to figure out exactly how it works. Luckily, I was taking pictures as it was counting up to that mark every 50 points.

8,388,500

And for fun, here's what the crash looked like. The scroll registers got screwed up somehow. 

[Krunch | 303]

Put up a 700k+ score.  I might still try another one tomorrow.  Sweet game.

At 7-2, died once, score is at 440K.  Still boring as fuck.  Taking a mental break for a few minutes and then going back at it.  With luck I'll beat Krunch, but even if I don't, I'm not playing it again.  Bloody hell.

At 11-2 and cracked a million.  Still two lives to go too...some lucky shit, including this last level where I got a whopping 200K bonus   At this point I may have to kill off my run to make the deadline though...bloody hell.

EDIT: In fact, that's what I did.  I just don't wanna play this slog anymore.
