Richardhead | 2,813 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Gurus? Can you pick another game? Maybe one I’m good at. I am stuck at home for the next week and a half though, so maybe I can get good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he won the last Gyruss contest so he should be able to cruise to the finals. Edited November 29, 2020 by Bearcat-Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fun and I’m 1000 times better than I was. Can make it to Uranus without dying. Just need to get better at getting those bonus points.

I've played it before, but I don't think I was very good at it. I'd likely have a tough time making the top 5 to advance to the finals if I was playing.

SuperJimtendo | 1,121 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The gyruss goggles picture of rich is long gone.

I don't know how good @bertsampson is at Gyruss, but he probably could beat me at it. I'm no good at shooters. I do better at puzzle games and I don't even like them.

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I expected Galaga to be in this year's tournament but I guess not because we're already playing a shooter. Really curious what the finals will be. My guess is Rush n Attack for low score/progress. I hope not though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May take me a week to beat the default high score of 50k. Good to have goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
