Improvement for game 1 = 1,948 I have the patch, so must of cleared 3,000 when I was younger. I actually got in a really good rhythm and blew it by missing 3 black cows in a row.

Although I had this game, I never really found it very fun. Game 1 = 1,303 Game 8 = 434

Managed to more than double my previous score with a little practice; 41,600.

Joust = 17,250 I think I can do better, but wanted to go ahead and put something on the board in case I get to busy.

I managed to beat my Ms Pac-Man score for the bonus 23,600 This is one of the best original arcade ports even though I'm not great at it.

Picnic for bonus points.

Amazing! Time to turn the Doom April Fool's joke into a reality.

13,150 I'm not too far off my pitiful Ms. Pac-Man score, so may take another shot next week.

Some minor improvement for both games. Pac-Man = 4,106 Ms Pac-Man = 18,530

I've got a pocket full of quarters and I'm heading to the arcade ... Pac-Man = 3,713 Ms Pac-Man = 18,450 I need to look up my old high scores to see if I'm anywhere near them. If not, I'll take another stab at these later this week.

Arcade games I enjoy: Asteroids Berzerk Paddle Games: Birthday Mania Demons to Diamonds Homebrews: Galagon Go Fish! Activision Games: Either Pitfall Dragster Enduro

I should be able to get closer to my earlier score, but need to put something on the board for now.

This was my first time participating and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It makes you play games you would normally ignore and I think that is a good thing. Congratulations to the top hard core players. Favorites: Fantastic Voyage - This is a well designed game. Pac Man 4k - I love to see a game that resembles the arcade version after what we got in the 80's Most Surprising: Thunderground - had the cart for years, but never really played it until now Seaweed Assault - after finally understanding how to play it, had a lot of fun Worst: Star Wars Death Star Battle - really wanted this as a kid, looks like I was lucky not to get it Halloween - the novelty is fun, but wears thin fast

I purchased it from the bargain bin out of curiosity for around $5 and still felt ripped off. It blows.

This game is solid and quite fun. Current score = 83,276

Hopefully I can improve on this as two of my deaths were just taking unnecessary risks. 21,700

Game 1 = 342 Game 7 = 720

Ice Hockey 10 - 8 , difference 2 It was tied up with 15 seconds left when I scored two points quickly and was close to a third goal as shown in the picture. Basketball 52 - 52 , difference 0 I was losing for most of the match by up to 8 points and had to fight back to just tie.

Improved a couple scores: Dragons Decent = 510 Seaweed Assault = 587

Not sure if you'll have room for this, but what about having 3 different surfaces for clay, grass, hard? The ball and player could react a little different for each surface. Hard - standard that we're used to Grass - faster ball with some random movements due to uneven surface Clay - slower ball and player has momentum to take into account

Activision Tennis is still one of my favorites, looking forward to what you come up with.

I bought a couple for Christmas and finally had a chance to try it this morning with a stelladaptor. It worked great. The left/right switch is really nice to have because for some reason I have difficulty playing 2600 games with left hand direction controls. The paddle seemed backwards at first, but switching to left controls made it control more how I was expecting. I did have to exit and restart whenever I flipped one of the switches on the controller.

I don't think copyright covers phrases, it's possible it could have been trademarked. Here is an interesting snippet from a legal website: A trademark protects your chosen phrase, but only from another business in your class. Your phrase has to be original.

Had fun with all 3 games. Definitely need some more practice on Seaweed Assault and Dragons Descent.

10,510 I was hoping to beat my old high score of 19,??? before posting, but decided to put something on the board in case I run out of time.
