132,000, on phase 14.

I was able to get past that one by first going to the top and knocking out the walls (along with Spike, who is such a jerk), then detonating one of the upper bombs at just the right time to send all but one of the Gotchawrenches into the trap at the bottom. After that, it was a matter of taking out the lower ladders one at a time while avoiding the one remaining relevant enemy.

I just discovered this show (Star Fleet) via YouTube.

I remember the LCD Paperboy 2 being pretty fun. For a Tiger handheld, I mean. I think I still have Tiger's Megaman 3 somewhere.... it wasn't that great.

54370, using a third-party 2600 joystick.

36,400. This is the first time I've gotten to Venom.

Question: How do you see your score when the game ends? And does using a continue reset your score?

I own three SNES games. This is one of them! If I can find the time I'll definitely join in on this one. I don't have an original SNES, but it works with my RetroDuo.

It's actually from the inside front cover of Marvel Team-Up #142, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. I would not be the least bit surprised if this ad was in DC Comics too!

Great competition, everyone! This was a really close one! I was reminded of an ad in one of my brother's comic books. Here's a picture:

51,580. Managed to get through the first course without losing any lives! Then quickly lost them when I got to a couple tricky spots I wasn't very experienced with. I used to play the Apple II version of this game pretty often many, many years ago. The one signicant feature of that version that is absent here were the moon plant obstacles. This version is smoother, though. I'm surprised by just how much activity can occur on the screen at once!

The way that sometimes works for me is I move to the right side and jump the very moment I see the car start to move. It takes really precise timing. At my best, I've been able to jump it about half the time.

35,200. Got all the way to the beginning of the second course.

Difficulty A appears to actually provide you with 3 speeds, with B providing 2. From what I can tell with only 2 speeds on B, you travel at the same fastest speed on the right and middle, and slow down to the left. Difficulty A retains these 2 speeds, but adds a third "in-between" speed for when you are in the middle. Having 3 speeds might make the game easier in some circumstances, but probably also makes it harder to get bonus points since you are travelling a bit slower on average. Score-wise, I figure it evens out.
