I've been listening to a lot of Hendrix lately. Everybody talks about his guitar work and rightly so, but damn his singing is great on this one. So full of raw emotion.
Do you remember how many points you had going into ultimate?
I once had 67k going into the ultimate race thanks to some very lucky wands and then blew it right at the end. This was months before I got my first 180k so this really sucked.
Damn. Your Sky Kid score is insane. That game is brutal. I played that for a contest on AtariAge a few months ago and only got 67k.
I would say that the hardest NES games that I beat were Battletoads (no warps, no continues) and Bump n Jump (legit, no continue code). I also got 415k in Bump n Jump which is almost twice the TG world record but I have no video proof.
Mine would be getting 180,880 points in NES Marble Madness and being 19th out of 87 on the speedrun.com leaderboard with a time of 2:55. Marble Madness world record holder yelsraek is the only other person to have a score over 180k on the internet.
Yeah, as I get older, I'm much more interested in action and skill based games.
I also just want to be able to play the game without sitting through a bunch of loading, cut scenes, tutorials, etc.
