91 points on New Year's Day? That has to be a new one-day record. In fact, I think I wouldn't be surprised if @Gloves (with 65 points) wasn't close to or beyond that previous record as well.

That would be very interesting to take a look at. I'd have to do a bit of work figuring it out... But, I do have a list of how many games we've beaten all together on New Years each year (licensed only, includes first 15).

Normally I don't do pictures, but this was a lot harder than it really should be, and I figured @Dr. Morbis would have a hard time believing it 😆 California Games is done.

Edit: I thought I'd add in for anyone who wants to go for this, tying a record is not enough to override it.  I tied multiple times on Flying Disk, and once on Surfing.  The game only recognizes the first score of that level, and not the most recent.  Flying Disk also has to be pretty much perfectly executed if you use the overhead grab.  Diving left theoretically does more, but it's a lot harder to pull off...in an hour of trying, I never got it once.  So yeah, I'd suggest trying to get that one first if possible, as the rest are comparatively more forgiving.

I saw this and wondered why it's worth 10 points.

SPYHUNTER is done.

 I took the left route the whole way.  Mentioned it once before that I think it may be possible to drive indefinitely w/o hitting snow/ice depending on the left/right decisions one makes.  At any rate, going left only, results in snow/ice relatively quickly.

Harlem Globetrotters is in the bag.  Still kinda dig this one.  Got it as a cheap game back when I was a kid, and I always dug it, even if it could be frustrating.  Not the best basketball game, but far from a bad one either.

It's almost worth honoring them wacky Globetrotters with, oh I don't know, say maybe a Tattoo to mark the occasion?  😉

I popped this one in a month or so ago and thought it seemed pretty difficult to get comfy with, but then I'm pretty sure that "Wiz" is short for "Sports Wiz."

No idea why my post wants to keep quoting people from a previous post but,

SIMPSONS: BART VS THE WORLD is done.

I didn't collect all the Krusty Treasures this time around for the additional Itchy & Scratchy Level.  Wanted to see about how fast I could do it and it took me over a half hour with a few deaths.  A little rusty I guess...  Only thing really unique that happened was somehow I got one of the little Icebergs on level 2 to go backwards and then didn't know how to change direction but somehow or other I got it going to go to the right again.  Of all the times I've played this I'm surprised that's never happened before..
