Congratulations atarilbc!
 
Congratulations @atarilbc on a most excellent high score! Did you guys enjoy Robotron on the 7800? I'd like to offer @RetroGameBoyz a very special welcome to the forums! The new dual-pad Atari 2600/7800 controller is a great new addition to the platform! You guys posted some seriously impressive scores on a very challenging game. All of you give yourself a pat on the back, I hope you all had fun with this one! Congrats to everyone who played! I'd like to encourage atarilbc to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and maybe this Challenge can continue on! 
Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be for the TurboGrafx-16!

I'm playing on a 2600jr with a Harmony cart, and the joystick has been modified to use microswitches. 
 

This is my strategy for the whole game.  Shoot em mid air only.  The score racks up pretty quickly.  But it gets really hard when that stupid dash starts flying around at full speed.

That's what I said when you posted your score....NOOOOOOO!  Two old farts battling it out.  I love it. 

Wanted to mention that I recently did a BennVenn LCD upgrade in a clients Lynx II. It is a much simpler installation as only one easy to remove component has to come out and with the new brackets for the LCD they essentially drop in easily now to replace. Still requires nearly the same amount of soldering, but it is all along one side and area of the Lynx II making the installations look cleaner overall.
The picture from this newer LCD is softer but I think I like that more. It does show horizontal pattering across the image but not enough to really detract from the game at all. You can adjust the brightness levels of the BennVenn LCD but on the one I did the changes were very subtle and I'm not sure it needs it. 
But yeah, for roughly the half the cost you can get excellent output from a Lynx II with the new BennVenn kit.

Dang it, I meant to take that N64 wrestling game!  Oh well, maybe next time. 
Thanks everyone.

Please post pics or a video of what you put into the box.
 

I tried, great job Rick!

What I've noticed by using the automated ordering kiosks is that you can buy a toy all by itself for $2.  Seems like a great deal if you don't want the food.

Yea since me going on a diet I have sworn off most fast food places. I havent eaten McDonald's in probably about a year or so. Buut if they come out with some Mario toys this year. You bet I'll have to go to them but only to get the toys. That food messes me up now
