Damn. Some more time/experience with this one and I could have really competed for the win. 
 

played this game more this week than I ever had and it was cool to log some good gameplay hours on the actual cart I had played sparingly as a kid. 
 

thanks mom ❤️

I still have my cart that I got for Christmas back in 1987. It was the first NES game I owned (besides SMB/Duck Hunt), which is why I played it so much.

Poor barrels didn't even post a score. I hope he sticks around for Balloon Fight.

 

Despite my hatred of the game I really meant to post a score, but we're planning a big renovation and unfortunately time got away from me 😕 Even if I posted a score for Excite Bike, I'll be honest, I was really never in contention here, lol. I hate missing a week though.

Will definitely be posting something for Balloon Fight. I recall getting massive cramps from playing this in the past, but maybe I was just not doing it right. I do enjoy it though.

I understand. I had to force myself to post anything. It was a one and done for me.

Balloon Fight is way more fun.

I too have my cart from Xmas '87.  Along with Commando, Rad Racer, and RC Pro Am!

I got RC Pro Am and Rad Racer from my dad that same Christmas. I never had Commando though. Man, we're old! It's tough for me to use that as an excuse to stay retired when you're (slightly) older than I am! 😂

Honestly, you can't use that excuse anymore.  Next year we'll show these little whippersnappers what's up!

That's the plan. I'm kind of operating with a makeshift setup at the moment so I'm hoping to have something nailed down and ready to go by the time next season starts.

Hey skinny, have you gotten the chance to try Balloon Fight yet?

Not yet. I’m kinda discouraged after last weeks results plus wampsons early score for ballon fight. 
im gonna have to dig deep and get out of this defeated mood to try and salvage 3rd this year... maybe I can pull 2nd but ole chairy probably got me beat in balloon fight too.

Based on Bert's profile he just turned 40 and my birthday is in February so we can hold team meetings at the diner where we can order dinner at 4:00 pm from the senior menu.

I think gutsman is even older. If you displease him he will bang his walker on the floor causing boulders to fall from the sky.

WelI, I would like to say we have a pretty good team put together led by the icon, the showstopper and the main event @Bearcat-Doug. Then there's The Game @bertsampson and the New Age Outlaws of @gutsman004 and @Richardhead, so I guess the real question is are they ready? So if @skinnygrinny and the cauliflower crew aren't down with that, we got two words for ya!

Cauliflower crew join forces with white trash management?!

wwwooo!

That makes it 4 against 4. I tried to get you on the winning team, but you wanted to go lone wolf Baron Corbin. Now you have to hope those other three cauliflower eaters take you as their fourth member. I hope they do, because the trash talk next season will be epic!

You call that a “team”?! 
3 old farts who used to play video games with Barney rubble and a fluke one win champ who still rides a bike to school! 
 

Get outta here with that!

I'm looking forward to your reaction to Balloon Trip. There's a learning curve.

After @bertsampson brings home the title this year, my team will have more championships than you and the three remaining members of the cauliflower crew have members! 😂
