Alright...setting the bar a little bit higher. Happy to get it early and have options to watch MNF and MLB playoffs....or catch some sleep and watch Sportscenter tomorrow.
Either way, I'm hoping for no midnite dynamite from kixfan.

Played a few games, nothing special. Said to myself, one more game before I go to bed and scored this. 63k thru level 4 before I lost first guy. Made it to level 6 which is pretty messed up. Lots of places to get trapped. Just looked up the Twin Galaxies score, which is over 9 million except the settings they are using give a bonus car every 10k.

No worthy score yet, but I found a review of this game from my August 1982 issue of Electronic Games magazine worthy of a laugh.
According to it Pacific Novelty's Thief talks a good game and "uses the most advanced voice chip technology to do it. Thief boasts the revolutionary Texas instruments 5200 "phonetic" chip which delivers a steady patter that is occasionally so amusing gamers will literally drop their joysticks in astonishment. The sound, produced syllable by syllable rather than as entire words, is used to simulate the voice over a police radio...Thief is primarily an audio triumph, one of the few video contests that deserves an arcader's attention just because it sounds so good".
Not quite accurate, the voice effects were actually recorded on a tape loop.
Anyone drop their joysticks yet?
