Alright, I'll get the ball rolling. Puny score, I can already tell this ones gonna take more practice. I haven't played Frogger in long while and she is a fickle beast.

Heeeere we go!

EDIT- I suppose it would help to play with the right settings. I set my dip switches to 5 lives, but didn't realize you needed to reset the game for it to take effect, haha.

This game makes me very angry. :timebomb:
-
Why, this is such a nice, relaxing little game ;D
It could be worse. Imagine having to cough up money for every game...

That's true. The games just seems kinda finicky. I think I'll sit this one out. I cant seem to get close to you guys scores and I'm gonna wind up snapping my joystick...
Good luck everybody. Have fun.

Post up what you got, then. There are probably others who don't post because they're not in first or second, too. But it'd be good to see the full range of scores. There may end up being good competition for 3rd or 4th! (And if some of the stronger players on this board show up, we'll all be playing for those spots! Haha)

Yeah maybe I will, highest I got was like 13800 or something. I hate to give up I was just getting really frustrated, seemed like I was missing jumps I was supposed to make and waiting for logs that were supposed to show but never did. I might give it another shot if I have the time. Just not enjoying it as much as the last game.
-
13,800 points means that you have gotten to level 4. That's not far away from the top scores. It has taken me a long time to beat level 4, and most of the time I still don't make it. It takes just one good run to beat it, by that time you will have 15k+ points. And then you will get slaughtered in level 5 ;D

Great scores. I know i've tapped out, so i'm guessing you've got it. Although shaolin is getting up there.
-
Yeah its over, I couldn't come close to Yama. Great job.
-
Yay! I can finally relax!
The compo has still some hours left, but I think shaolindrunkard may start thinking about the next game.
-
Am I in third right now? Hmm. You guys said we were doing just the popular stuff this time around right?
-
I found my "dedicated" Frogger. 3,120 on 3 lives. :cheers:

Yes....(please) haha
Pick whatever you want, but the restart was to make the "hits" eligible again.

Well, if were going for the hits, hows about some Tapper? If you guys don't like that I have other suggestions...

It's entirely your choice, friend. Popular, unpopular, it's completely up to you.
But tapper is a great game, for sure.

Alright lets go with that then.

Well, I'm all for that, but we should probably wait until tomorrow, in case someone else is playing unbeknownst to us.?

Of course, I sometimes cant figure out the time difference thing. I'm in the USA eastern time. When I type in Midnight pacific time it says it was at 3 A.M. eastern time. Which already happened.

I'm still trying. About to give up though.

Looks like I've been knocked out of 3rd place, wp43 will likely have the next choice. :)

wp34, your hard work has paid off. You may choose the next game.

I think that may of cured me of the desire for a dedicated Frogger cabinet.
Let's go with Zoo Keeper.

That's something you learn when participating in the high score challenge: After having played a game intensely for two weeks, chances are good that you won't like it anymore after that.

You are correct although I have to say Robotron had the opposite effect. That was a fun one.
-
Same here. Robotron is a nice challenge. The overwhelming majority of games that I played in the compo I'm so fed up with that I won't play them again.
-
I owned a Frogger for awhile. Novelty wore off in 15 minutes.
After I owned that, I decided I'd never own a dedicated single game cabinet again.
