Damn I missed this completely!!, I noticed no one picked Guy, this character is s beast. I used to be able to get to the Bay Area on 1 credit with him

Went to get a new high score and lost power on Saturday.  Awesome.  Looks like I'm slated for 3rd.  Oh well.  On to the next one.

Sweet, I had to take this one down. I've put waaaay too much money into this game in the arcade when I was younger!

Get your platforming skills ready, I'll be posting a new game shortly.

pbj: Here is my crummy iphone video. Also, youtube editing tools suck. Sorry for the bad cropping...

Looks like we're about on par until the subway car.  I clearly need to start utilizing the head butts.

(I cannot believe I just watched a 12 minute Final Fight video, but thanks for posting)

[opt2not]

No problem. I should really invest in an actual camera that can shoot better videos.

OK, so I picked a game about which I wasn't crazy, as the ones that I adore put me in the BYOAC doghouse. Final Fight seemed a good pick, as we'd been doing more shooty than punchy games, so I figured Final Fight was the first of this genre & wasn't a one-on-one fighter (gag), so I picked it. This game suits me fine as a quarter-eater buddy game, but I had frustrations trying to get max points playing alone.

Anyway, criticisms aside, I picked a popular game!

kixfan 161,160 (couldn't get 1 more point to make it 161,161, could ya? Usually a contender, but not this time!)

codemonkey 170,320
Generic Eric 204,720 (please write your score in your post!)
pbj 207,390 (playing lying face down on the floor)
harveybirdman 215,420 (blurry picture--killin' me)
JDFan 215,740 (oooh, landed 1 more punch than harvey!)
jasonbar 240,860
zanna5910 261,810
jdbailey1206 341,984

Hunched over his XArcade, kthx.  If I laid face down on the floor, I'd never be able to get up.

I did slightly upgrade the pedestal with a shelf and a chair, though.  Project pic attached.

Thanks man. I think it was a fine choice.  I think it's also admirable that you chose a game that you're not good at. I did the same for my picks as well. I mean, part of this competition is also getting exposed to games that we wouldn't normally choose or know of ourselves.
