I think that's it for me, I can't crack 50k. If tommorow is one more day I'll give it one final push.

yeah baby! Just one last time before bed time and what do you know!  ;D
Too bad combos didn't go nicely in the beginning or the score would be much higher.
I managed once to get over 10k in only 4 rounds! Wish it was this time.

Two more days.

Until someone picks a game that doesn't slaughter me, I hope....

Heh. Guess we'll soon see.

...and the winner is.................MIMIC!  With a blurry photo score of 65,410.  A not-so-close second place goes to Cornchip's 40,070.

I'm happy to have shared a semi-rare game that has some pretty good depth to it.  Grobda seems to be a love-hate game...mostly hate... :)

OK, mimic, copy & paste my OP in this thread, modify as needed, & pick the next game.  Oh, and PM me your snail mail address so I can send you some minor video game-related trinket of a prize.

Thanks,
-Jason

Don't take my posts as hate toward the game. It just kicked ---my bottom--- too much, that's all.

   A very distant second and a great game none the less. I'm glad the pressures off, I wasn't looking forward to picking the next game.  Way to go Mimic.  :cheers:

Thank you, i'm accepting the crown. unfortunately due to unpleasant situation with my wife ive got access only to ipod which is not the easiest tool to use and to setup page with next game. so maybe you could help me either setup the thread or wait untill ive got  access to a computer again. Sorry about that.
Till then I was thinking which classic should I pick?
Many come to mind. Should it be: time pilot? Or maybe centipede? Perhaps rygar, commando, missile command, scramble, tempest, bosconian, etc. But I think in due time someone will give these games a chance, so I opted for a lesser known game (and probably underappreciated) which I believe has only   one unique rom and no clones, a game that will test not only your reflexes, but your itchy fingers, by the name of... BANK PANIC. Hope you all enjoy!

YESSSS!!!!  I loves me my Bank Panic!    :cheers:   Used to have the board & played it a lot in grad school.

Congrats--I think we can just all start practicing our Bank Panic skillz & wait till you can set up a proper thread--that works for me!  :]
