Not unless they have the internet from the great beyond. She died in a car accident in Oct 2006.

It's funny because I've been draggin my feet on getting a U360, and I don't know as if I'll get the lead out of ---my bottom--- to make the comp, so I'll have to go with programmed diagonals - though, I don't think I ever got that high a score when I did have a dedicated stick. That brings something else to mind: winner term limits, and I have two ideas:

1. if someone wins two consecutive comps, the runner up gets to pick the next game

2. after three consecutive wins, the runner up gets to pick the next game


What do you all think?

Lemme guess, you always end up as runner up in the official comps? :)

I hadn't thought of such an angle. Thanks.

I ain't never got close to that high so I dunno.  Actually, I think I'm out this one unless I get my U360s and mount them before the comp's over. I hate playing games with the wrong controls, hence why I haven't been playing Q-bert or Congo Bongo for a while.

I didn't know it was a car accident.  I hate seeing old people die in car accidents...poor lady made it that many years and up and dies prematurely in a car accident...that's ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.

Reminds me of the old saying:

"I wanna die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa did... not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car!"

After half an hour... I am giving up... I cant even break 8000pts! I blame it on the joystick angle,  even though I found if I use my player 1 joystick with my left hand, it all makes sense while im playing haha... sigh, just not my game I guess. I may let it sit a bit then try again in a few days.

I gotta say kudos to the guys with the serious skills!!  :notworthy:

Let me just add that it wasn't the first time I played Q*Bert, just my first attempt for this competition. I used to play it back in the day, and had it for the Atari 2600 (my cat used to love watching me play on the TV...she'd try and chase Q*bert as he bounced around the maze ;) ) I don't know what my highest score is, but I doubt I've ever gotten over 200K. Once you get to level 5 or 6, where you have to hit the cubes twice, and if you hit it a 3rd time, it goes back to the original color, it gets pretty tough.
