Also why do the fireballs on that stage look different?? I prefer the ones on the first 2 stages Thats one of the huge differences between NES and the arcade. Its not something you want to do consistently on the arcade, but isn't too hard to execute in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bimmy even used the girl holding up the "Bimmy isn't even a real name" sign as his avatar for a while. I remember that! Wasn't it his girlfriend or something? hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Somehow, I managed to go from by best being 166k (and never having seen pass L5) to 363k L9. I'm also not sure where I'm missing all these points as compared to Doug 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWarwick07 | 122 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Best game I played all week, worst barrel luck ever, this should have been a 400K score easily.

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Just had another L9 run with the worst barrel luck ever. I was at 280k at the start. I did somehow manage to accidentally pull off the ladder point glitch on the way to my normal ladder. So that was something at least. Are you guys even bothering for the hammers on the barrels stage? I can't make up my mind if going straight to the ladder for the glitch would get more or less points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you can break the 400k mark today and make a run at 500k before the contest is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Finally got to level A with 2 extra lives to point press the L9 barrel stage and scored 440k. Am I really missing that many points due to bad barrels or is there something else I'm missing on the other two stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 That is a cooler setup, but I cringed really hard when I saw a power blade 2 with no box protector! Pre box protector days, I had all those higher end games in clam shells. I also have a cool place to play dk, but memorial day just didn't cooperate. Kept hoping for rain to force me back inside, but it wasn't in the cards. Was going to try to make a run toward 250,000 tonight, but im chasing a participation score at this point. Really impressive scores Edited May 24, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
