  • No. It's your top score on Pole Position.

I think I'm answering my question by asking if the winner picks the next game for the competition, correct?

If thats the case I'll have to step it up.

 I had a good game going earlier was over 800K with 3 lives left and several boosts and then the cat jumped on the desk and somehow hit my escape button  :banghead: after that I just didn't feel much like trying again.



.... and thats the one reason there are no ESC buttons in Arcade Cabs  :tool:

Or no cats in arcades...

Looks like there were no last minute entries so the results posted earlier seem to be the final results :

Quote
With this being the final day we have :
Comtek  1,008,930   :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
JDFan       929,850
Zanna       875,390
jasonbar    835,680
Blashyrk    718,280
Rodman     654,320
Epetti        148,300

If I missed anyone let me know and I'll make the adjustments,

Congrats to Comtek on the win and good luck finding a good choice for the next competition ! Glad to see we had a few new competitors and hope everyone will give the next round a try - remember to post your scores even if they are not the top score at the time so we can keep the thread toward the top of the forum and hopefully draw in more competitors.

True -- probably should reset the settings so it is more than a single button press but with a face like this how can you get upset with them - (usually he just tries to catch the characters moving across the screen in games but this time managed to swipe the key) --

From a genre perspective, Driving, Maze, and Sports games have been pretty under-represented, especially recently.  Obviously for Driving it would have to be an overhead one or one that doesn't use a wheel...

I'd be against any kind of driving games, simply because I've found out not too long ago that the Driving & Racing Cabinets sub-forum have their own competition going on.

My personal pick would be... Bosconian.

Sweet!
It shouldn't be hard to get more than 109K! I got that only after 3 games and only because I wanted to dethrone "smack talking" Grey_area ;)

That's why my ESC button is under a spring-loaded cover! :]

Where'd you find the cover?
