Yikes. I tried to make some runs for it at the last minute and barely got my current score up due to getting lost in playing! I missed the mark on beating my personal best from 2017 (450k'ish) and 500k... ah well, next time. Nice score, @Jeevan (and everyone)
5am for you, time traveler! For some reason, my picture isn't fully loading. I feel like it's 1994 and the XMODEM protocol failed a CRC check, leaving me with half a JPEG
Purchase from @mog of 8 loose N64 games (Forsaken 64, Mickey's Speedway USA, Milo's Astro Lanes, NBA showtime, NFL Blitz 2000, NHL 99, NFL quarterback club 2000, NHL Breakaway 99) for ca$h monies
It sounds like you and I were in a similar situation with our runs. During my last and best run, I managed to not make too many fatal errors while progressing. However, I did screw up enough to knock myself down. I missed 15,000 points of barrel jumps on level 5-1 due to bad positioning (things I shouldn't have and thus far had not been missing!). I didn't get to really play level 6-1 because I mistimed a barrel jump and it was game over! We'll get 'em next time Also @NESfiend lol at how close our scores were!
I gave it a final push and had my best round ever! Not that I've played a lot of Donkey Kong But it was a good one for me. SO CLOSE to my personal goal of 200k (197,000). I may give it another go, but for now, I'm out of time. I really enjoyed revisiting this game!
Score updated on page 1. I cracked 100k early in the week and haven't done much since. I may have a few runs left in me, if I can find time. Lots of great scores this week!
Haha, agreed! I feel dirty thinking about all of those carts not in box protectors! If you look closely, you'll see I kept the heavy hitters in standard game sleeves when on the shelf. Still, I feel much better about the way it's set up now.
I'm trying to decide if I should just move on to Puzznic or not. @Jeevan might be disappointed though Did @skinnygrinny get lost out in the glades somewhere's looking for Bayou Billeh!?
It's not grandiose compared to what I had originally planned! It's okay, things happen. I still have a place to play Donkey Kong and geek out It's kind of decorated now. I'm still working on that part. You can see my original set up here
I haven't looked (or don't recall) if we have a 'show off' thread here yet. I've been posting pics like this to Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ninjistar). I've not posted anything yet with the current additions in progress. This is not nearly as epic as what I had originally planned for this house, but plans change. Someday I'll have a grandiose game room! I hope you enjoy the pics.
I've been working on some other gaming-related things (completing my N64 set, curating my NES set, further establishing my "new" game room). I've put in some rounds. It didn't go well last night though. I kept making stupid mistakes, so I called it quits for the night. I'll be jumping some barrels shortly!
