This is why I love playing the weekly.  When you finally get that no death it's such an intense run.  Feels great!

Hard game for sure, but really cool.  I love the level 4 music.  It's very unforgiving of error.  The worst thing in my opinion is that it seems to have more "invisible bullets" than any other shooter I've ever played.  In other words, it has a lot of: "What the heck even got me?!" moments.  That and bullets that seem to appear right after shooting an enemy, which if the enemy was close is a likely quick death.  Love scrolling in 4 directions though and shooting  in eight..

I was literally JUST playing this game all week lmao!

I saw that over at "What Are You Currently Playing?"  Figured you might show up here.   

For me it was that time when the powers that be on this Earth all became horrendously ill as a consequence of willfully cultivating evil and died lickety-split leaving only good people to take over the reins of power in every country, making peace with each other for the benefit of all.

...Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet.

Good luck, everyone!

Use a yardstick to hit reset.

It's not so bad.   

Oh I can be even lazier I play on a Analogue NT mini so I just hit select + start

I probably would have done more runs on this but dying once and then having to enter the password again every time is a super drag  

Use a yardstick to hit reset.

It's not so bad.

I just wanna live in goo, getting fed/jerked off by a robot. Is that a crime?! 

Give me everything you own and I'll keep you in a bathtub full of perpetually warm nutrient rich olive oil.  I'll even refresh it every couple of years or so.  And once a day I'll put on an N64 themed puppet show for your amusement.  

Do we have a deal?

"Nightmare City" from 1980 is one of my favorite B's.  Great example of a film that does some things well but is also ridiculous bad.  It's on Youtube in Italian w/English Subs.  I'll just leave it here for consideration...

"Burial Ground: The Nights Of Terror" from 1981 is also fantastic for much the same reasons..  Also on Youtube, and in English...

I played the crap out of this on Game Gear.  Great platformer.

I just got into the groove and zoned out while playing it by smoking cigars and watching 1990s Playmate profiles on shuffle in the background.

I think you forgot to drink Chartreuse while eating fettuccine alfredo and dove bars while also being in the hot tub at the time...

I jumped into it today for the first time, and I’m enjoying it. It seems challenging but also fair with how it handles power-ups.

91,600 with one second place finish on race 8. Donezo. Cant believe I didnt finish it one time. Congrats, @PII - a well deserved victory. Tough to go 10 straight for sure with the orange car boost madness

 

Thanx, nice run yourself.  Took me all week but I was finally able to catch up with @Gaia Gensouki's impressive beginning of the week run.  I tried as much as possible to avoid shooting that dang yellow/orange car until the later levels...

Level 11 / 92,271

No way to walk through lower room....

I like to workout.  Where are all the video games about getting buff?

Just for you, it's: "Best Of The Best Championship Karate!"  You have to work out between matches... A LOT.  And boy-o- boy is it ever fun...

I don't know how you guys are so good at this. I can't even reach level 11 or get 20k.

The most important thing is to collect 8 letters that spell NINTENDO, which upgrades your car, but also adds something like 50k to your score.  Then take first place every time, hit all the upgrades and blow up your opponents as much as possible.

Why are they yellow?! 

Sometimes I like to wonder how things would have gone if all of the Simpson's "black" characters had been colored Red.

@BeaIank Is it me or did the original post say "pause your game at the start of level 12" ?

@Dr. Morbis It's about time you showed up.  I was starting to think you'd been kidnapped and replaced...  

I've heard a lot of people say s1-6 or s1-10 is the limit of this show being good but I remember still enjoying the heck out of it in the early 2000's.

Every few years, I notice that Simpsons is still making new episodes and think: "Hey, why not watch a new episode of the Simpsons?  Maybe it's gotten good again.."  I watch one episode.... and swear I'll never watch a new episode ever again, it's that bad.  This has happened like three times in the last decade, I'm not even joking.

I'm sure everyone's heard it at some point or other but Matt Groening has stated that as long as there is stuff to make fun of The Simpsons will be around.  The clown show is bigger than ever and it's still here, so basically this shit will not go away until society falls, so like maybe a few more months if it doesn't happen this Spring...

Wow, all the way across the state; that's cool.  I used to know this crazy "old" guy who was well into his fifties and had to live on a very small/tight budget.  He survived on a diet of rice, chicken, free bread and snickers.  The last one being what he took on bike rides.  The guy really didn't look like much but he would go on rides like 6 days a week and he frequently did these crazy bike rides that were well over 100 miles.  

Have a blast!

..and maybe report in around here after the fact and let us know how it went...
