Reminds of the time I won one from bithead1000 but he gave it to someone else because I didn’t reply in time so I stopped supporting his channel……

I figured you would have replied as soon as you saw that you won. No wonder you forget to post scores for the contests!

I felt terrible for "Clint" on that day, whoever that dude is. Was that the same thing as this transparent one? I remember it being a badass nes console, but I thought it was painted in some form or fashion

I was wondering that too. It seems like the plastic was clear, but it had some kind of custom design to it.

Ole bitty boy was hand making his out of plexi glass. It was bad ass I was so excited when I watched that episode and heard my name. Looking back maybe I cut ties too quickly. Still I just can’t bring myself to watch it anymore. I still feel he should have gave me more time. I was a regular. If I didn’t respond for a month or two I would have understood.

I did reply as soon as I watched the episode. I just don’t watch them the day they come out. It was like a week and a half old. I mean I got kids and chores and shit man I can’t be waiting on the next episode like a fiend

You need to hit that notification bell and watch the videos the instant they're posted like the YouTubers tell you to do!

I remember when you used to be cool, passing out drunk in boats with random strangers. You got old man.

Is it really a trick if it doesn't work 100% of the time? It's still the closest possible spot to where the buzzard appears, so there is that.

it was 100% for me. I never got Shoryukened by Bluto when I stood there.

@PII nice score !

He walked all the way to the edge below and got me twice, but it was still way less often than when I tried to move away from him.

Well that knocked me down to second place. I have a feeling this is going to be like Ice Hockey week and it's going to take 90k+ just to finish in the top 3.

All my shits packed, so no more scores from me. Happy to participate, it's a pretty fun arcade game.

I think I'm done too. It would likely take a near perfect run to add on another 5k+ and I don't see myself getting that accomplished over the weekend.

Despite sucking at it, I appreciate the game enough I bought a very pretty CIB copy last year. Otherwise, I would be taking a hard look at this one. Between you and @mbd39 , somebody could grab a nice one for a hundy. No, it isn't my auction

@NESfiend good looking out. Isolated warrior is #1 on the want list at the moment. There is a nice cib of 1943 local for 60 part of the back of the box got peeled off like scotch tape was removed and some of the cardboard went with it. That’s the only flaw. The rest of the box is super clean.

I snagged this bad boy for a hundy plus shippin last year. I got 42 and 43 covered. Now if I could only play them at all proficiently

I played a game today and barely broke a million. This game is really tough. I've beaten it once with continues and that last stage has to be one of the toughest of any NES game.

I been playing every chance I get and I haven’t gotten passed stage 8 yet. I’ve made it to the last stage but have never been able to get through it all the way.

I finished it for the beat every NES game thread a year or two ago. That last level is like one crazy boss rush of battleships. I beat it that one time and haven't been able to do it since.

Due to real world events, I won't be able to play again, so congrats on the win unless @docile tapeworm comes in with a late score.

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,105]

I might be away for a bit, but the next two weeks are shooter and puzzle so I probably won't miss much. Hopefully I'll be back for Renegade.
