Definitely limits the number of eligible players. I had one, it broke, and they are too expensive for me to justify buying another at the moment. The old school guys are more likely to have them than the people who grew up on jamma games, unless they just love Cameltry (which IS awesome).

To stay back on topic, I'll post what I got. I worked hard just to crack 50k.
55900
Edit: Finally beat that ship boss and got a bit further.

This is my point, 5 days into the comp and there is only 2 posts for score and one to show a personal high, why is that? because two days into the comps omeone post 112k. That kinda ruins it for everyone else, IMO.

Why would it ruin it? Try to get higher...who says any game you pick there isn't someone waiting in the wings that will school everyone else? It has nothing to do with the year of the games as you seem to think. There is always someone who can get a higher score.
From the other high score thread:
--- Quote ---How about the next winner has the following stipulations:
- Has to pick two games from two different genres and two different decades
That way its varied enough. The winner of each of the two games has to likewise pick a different genre and decade for their pick?
We get some more variety without the need to put up another forum *or* drown ourselves in too many high score threads?

How can I know that my score is good without posting it? There's no way for the 1st poster to know if he's a "major league" or "little league" player & know if that first score is going to kill the thread before it gains momentum.
I love mh12's suggestion & will take it to heart & follow it: "so post it anyways. it's probably better than mine."
If everybody posts their scores, then people can always have somebody against whom they're competing. Maybe you're not competing for 1st, but you're at least neck-and-neck with another member & can spur on each other to do better. Or, if you post your score & explain what did you in, other posters can give you tips & nourish your skills. Look back to the Frogger competition, my first competition--CrazyKongFan had it in the bag early on, but I persevered & crept my score up & up, with help & encouragement, right up till the end. That was a lot of fun.
Here's to mh12--I think your suggestion will liven up these threads.
Thanks,
-Jason
