[robotriot]

I gave up on Mikie and submited a very bad score, I just hate the game :P Qbert on the other hand is more my type of game ^^

Words cannot express how angry Mikie is making me, so I quit at 11000. :P Not doing too good at Q*Bert either. I kept trying to use all the discs, but it was getting me killed too often. I'm just trying to get through the boards now, regardless of left discs.

BTW,I was busy cursing at the red ball thingy and missed taking the picture of the Game Over screen. Since Q*Bert has Top 20 fake scores when you start it up, is it okay to submit the high score screen as our screen shot? Please?

I'm going to have to get started early this week. My wife and I are going away for our anniversary (which was yesterday, but work was mandatory )this weekend. We're hitting flea markets and diners on Sat and Sun. yay!

I hope so, because that's what I did. I did have some lower scores on it, but they were from earlier playthroughs. I think I did pretty good on Mikie. I like it more than Q*Bert! If I'm wrong for liking Mikie over Q*Bert, I don't want to be right

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Well Dr.M if it makes you feel any better, I know for a fact you totally beat my ass in Q*Bert. Mikie, I dont know, I think I got a decent score with that...

[SoulBlazer]

I suck at both games this week.

Oh well. Here's hoping next week is better.

[Needle]

After everything was said and done, I think I actually had another good week! Of course I know my opponent this week is no pushover (still angry at myself for losing that Smash TV scoreboard a few weeks ago, hehe) but I think I managed to keep it competitive.

Good luck to everyone in the final hours of competition

[hydr0x]

i just gave up and submitted my score, <20k on Q*bert which is really bad i think, i just don't like the game, i could make 30-40k i guess, but i don't enjoy it so i just stopped

Mikie on the other hand got me a nice score, if Flack can keep up with me on that one he wins the round, if he doesn't get the game, he loses

[DragonMaster Sam]

Well, I pretty much stunk at Q*Bert, but it was fun while it lasted. As for Mikie, I did way better than I expected to. If Jibbajaba posts our scores, you'll all be amazed at how much I was able to amass.

[Cryomancer]

I really AM gonna get last place. I suck at videogames. I need to summon my NES-era self, maybe he'd do better, heh.

[Lady Jaye]

I don't think I'll fare any better than you...

[Queen Of The Felines]

I think I kicked ass on Q*Bert, don't know how well I did on Mikie though. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Well, after a couple more hours of gameplay, I was able to boost my scores for both games and finally said 'enough with it' and e-mailed my scores in.

Don't want to say quite yet what they are, but I think for both games they are only in the 'average' range.

Mikie I just suck at. I never could get past the locker room screen.

As for QBert, the 3rd Board got me. I HATE those puzzles that require you to carefully watch where you jump while also avoiding all of the enemies coming down at you......

Here's hoping for a good shooter or side scroller next week.

[scooterb23]

Got my scores in...

Mikie I was bad at, I made it into the 2nd room, but no further (my best score came on a game where I kept screwing up in the first room, and finally got to the second on my last life).

Q*Bert, honestly, I played one of my best games ever, actually making it to level 3 for the first time ever. So it may not win, but I'm very proud of my Q*Bert score

Did you top 200k? For Mikie, I spent most of my time in the first classroom: I would get the PERFECT bonus points and then headbutt the living daylights out of that stupid teacher till time ran out. At 800pts a pop, it's pretty lucrative at building a high score really fast.

[InsaneDavid]

I got a hair over 150k, but I expect at least a few scores over that point.

I'm going to lose! I sucked at Mikie, but was decent at Q*Bert (even though I hate that game).

I considered 'leeching' for points on the first screen, but that seemed too cheap. That and I've spent so much time over at Twin Galaxies I've kinda adopted their rules

yep, i used that method too, but i only made <100k with it

[Lord007]

Damn, I didn't even think of just continually headbutting the teacher! I couldn't get past the 2nd room so my score is REALLY low...like ~25k. I think I did ok in Q*Bert though...

[NE146]

*phew*.. glad that's over.

Let's just say farewell to Mikie! Let no one mistake that for a 'classic' game. But it was indeed the contest that made it fun and interesting as I would have never played that game for more than 2 minutes otherwise.

And yeah I milked the first screen on it... wasn't all that high though and certainly not 200k
