Sorry for the late post, I was busy all day Friday, and thus, wasn't able to post the Scoreboard on time. Sorry! :embarrassed:

Hello, and welcome to another weekly feature here at DP! It's called "Friday Scoreboard", and here's how it goes: Every week I'll choose a different game at random from any console. I'll then post my choice in the Video Gaming forum along with my highest score that I was able to attain. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Get the highest score for the week. Simple, huh?

A few ground rules must be made, however, in the interest of fairness. They are:
- No continues are allowed. Once it's Game Over, it's Game Over. (No save states, either. :P)
- No cheats or codes, of course.
- Always use the default (or chosen) settings only. This gives everyone a level playing field.
- Emulators can be used, as well as playing the real thing.
- Have fun! :)

This week's game is Gradius. This tough-as-nails shump classic should challenge any good gamer!

My score for this week (so far): 50,050

So, grab your joysticks and let's go!

I don't know about you but when I get killed even once in Gradius i'd may as well just call it quits. There's just no way to recover after losing all your opitions in a heavy gunfight. LOL

That being said, I managed to get to around the middle part of level 4 without losing a life with a top-score of "0187200".

EDIT: New top-score is "0223700".

My current high today is 138,800. I definitely agree with the last poster though, you pretty much have one life.
