My New High Score: +6
 
Upped my game last night with a better performance. I'm really enjoying Neo Turf Masters. Although I was the one who nominated this game specifically, I should credit @RickR with nominating the general idea of us playing a Golfing game in HIgh Score Squad to celebrate the Masters Tournament. This has been great.

Also here's a quick look at Neo Mr. Do! for any Atari or Coleco classic gamers out there who might be wondering what Neo Geo has to offer outside of arcade fighters

My High Score: +16
As @Gianna said, this was my first time to actually sit down and enjoy my new Neo Geo! Neo Turf Masters was one of the top reasons I wanted to get back into Neo Geo, it's a fantastic game. I used to have a Neo Geo years ago but just couldn't get it into it as I'm not that big into fighting games. But I LOVE arcade games in general, and once I got a broader sense of what the Neo Geo can be, I saw there was a ton there for Atari classic gamers to enjoy! I'll take a deeper dive into this in upcoming topics I'm sure. Neo Turf Masters was just awesome, and it played great on the original Neo Geo arcade stick with new Seimitsu LS-56 joystick, Sanwa micro switches for the stock buttons, and AES button PCB from Taitoc labs.
Hoping to get a few more rounds of golf in before we close this Squad Challenge out. More to come!

Here are some animal photographers having some "close encounters."

This is Nancy’s report.

My score:  +7
I'm playing on my atGames legends mini console, which arrived yesterday (it's on clearance sale at Gamestop.com).  My goal is to load all my arcade favorites on this thing.  NEO Turf Masters was the first one I tried adding and it works great. 
 
 

I'm going live with my attempt using the PS2 SNK Arcade Classics 1 disc.  FINAL SCORE: +6!
 

Nope!  I have "Top Player Golf" on mine, but I think that's a different game.  I think I'll try MAME instead.
 

There we go. Works fine. I'm using MAMEUI .252
 
 

First Try.

Congratulations Datafry!
 
Congratulations to the incredible @datafry on becoming our new Crackpots Squad Champion! This is Datafry's first time winning a Squad Challenge, so let's all give him a hand on his absolutely killer score and decisive win! And a big congratulations to everybody on all those incredible scores across the board! I hope Crackpots was fun to revisit.
Datafry takes 1st Place in our Final Standings with a score of 80,920, making him the only Squad Member to achieve a patch-worthy score. @Kid A was on fire in Crackpots, securing the 2nd Place in our Final Standings with his burning hot score of 61,020 points. @RickR takes 3rd with an impressive 41,670 points, and @Doug.dryerlint17 was hot on his tail, taking 4th with 37,700. I take 5th Place with my score of 32,010 points, and @Sabertooth was hot on my tail taking 6th Place with 31,660. @nosweargamer @TrekMD @Atari 5200 Guy and @Gianna all joined us in our Crackpots Activision Squad Challenge and shared terrific high scores. I hope everybody who joined us for this one had a blast!
Our new Achievement Badges have been a real hit in the forums. For this Squad Challenge we introduced the "Crackpots" Activision Badge, which is being awarded to all players who achieved a "patch-worthy" score of 75,000+ Points or higher in our Crackpots Squad Challenge. @datafry was the only Squad Member this time to earn the Activision Crackpots Badge! For all Activision games played in High Score Squad moving forward, we will be recreating the classic Activision Patches as Badges and awarding them to all players who achieve a "patch-worthy" score as originally set forth by Activision. We think that will be a fun way to play Activision games in High Score Squad, and revive the spirit of the original Activision Patches.
As always I'd like to encourage @datafry to post his high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! Congratulations to Datafry, and a big congratulations to our wonderful little community for being such a great group to spend time with, I hope everybody had fun playing Crackpots!
NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge is an arcade game for MAME! Be there!

If you are a collector of individually numbered games, @Video 61 has the very last numbered copy of Carrot Kingdom™!
Factory sealed, numbered, etc. very good. 😉
If you are interested, hit him up. 🙂 Huge thanks to him for distributing these copies for me after my health took a nose dive.

You should be very proud of what you've created @Jinroh not many people can do what you've done
