High Score Competition #143: Armored Car (Stern)

[kixfan]

59,500

I'm still getting as many points in the first round as I can get.   Then it's pretty much luck and speed.   I finally realized what this game reminds me of.   It's like that annoying fly that you chase away and suddenly realize it is back in your face again.   Still a fun game.

It's pretty close at the top of the scoreboard!

Not sure I'm going to do any better than this, in the time left...

I think this is the best I'm going to do. 36,810. Somehow I got this score going back to being as greedy as possible on every level. I was down to 1 life on the first level but made it to the extra life.

Played 2x more. Can't really get into it. At least I'm up to middle-ish instead of bottom-ish now!

@Popsicle - I'm done.  Assuming nobody throws out a late score this might be the closest competition.   Only 560 points between us.

Yep, it's close between me and epetti now, too. I guess I'm gonna have to have one more crack at this. 

Great stuff!

Might as well post this as I don't think I'll have time to improve -- 28,100

[big10p]

That's me done. Phew!

[epetti]

Gah! I think you've got me beat. Not going to have time to try to top that tonight. Good match!

[big10p]

Indeed, a good match. Congrats to popsicle who just pipped kixfan to the top spot.

Patiently waiting (well... somewhat) for Popsicle to make his pick!     Maybe Super Armored Car?   Gosh, I hope that doesn't really exist.   Off the top of my head most Super games aren't that super.   There is Super Sprint which is awesome.   I have most of the parts for a driving cab.   That will be next as soon as I'm done with my virtual pin.   More random thoughts tomorrow if Popsicle hasn't made a pick yet.

As the perpetual bottom tier around here, if I may make a suggestion, I think Nintendo Arm Wrestling would be a good one.  It's weird as hell, I never encountered it in the arcades, and similar enough to Punch Out that I think most would enjoy it.  It doesn't look like it's ever been picked and I'm fairly awful at it so no baited field bias here.

[popsicle]

Sorry Jim, I can't stand that arm wrestling game.  I tried to like it, but meh.  New pick incoming 

[pbj]

If it's a vertical space shooter, you have earned a kick in the balls.

I know I could look it up but...

what's the controls like?   Sounds like a good old button mashing game.   You what hasn't been picked and was quite popular?   Track and Field!   Not that I'm suggesting it cause I'm not really that good at it but fun.

New competition here.

And not only do I not receive a kick in the balls, 'Pinball Jim' better not complain about this pick.  Or, maybe video pinball irks him since it's not the real thing.  Whatever, he probably still wants to kick something in the balls.
