Starbuck66 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Double check that score SB...you are in the lead! Holy crap, thought yours was 479,000! The month is still young though, and I have a feeling you'll top my score! Justin and greenween 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck66 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I highly recommend playing the game on a real NES though; it seems to have the tightest control. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I highly recommend playing the game on a real NES though; it seems to have the tightest control. I agree. The NES Mini that most seem to hate because they couldn't get one is close but a bit mushy for my tastes. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm giving myself a bit of extra "nerd cred" for my new score since I pulled this off while live streaming on Instagram for our first livestream show "Atari Beachhouse" Friday Nights at 12 Midnight EST / 9pm EST on our Instagram @atarigames Still not much to brag about. I haven't developed a genius strategy for this game but I love playing it just for fun, never the less. High Score: 121,700 nosweargamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck66 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Well hats off to NSG, I can't seem to get that score in three attempts tonight, so you win the monthly contest (barring someone else coming in 11th hour). I will be coming for your score on the high score forum though, trust me... I beat it once and I can beat it again! nosweargamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck66 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 So not the high score but a new personal best, 483,450. This was with no super bonus on 3 bonus rounds. If I had gotten those I still don't think I would have hit 600000, but definitely would have been closer. Man that's some wicked glare on my CRT though... greenween 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Congratulations nosweargamer! INCREDIBLE SCORES, GUYS!!! Congrats on your win NSG! Balloon Fight is a personal favorite of mine as far as the NES goes. I've been waiting a long time to post the Balloon Fight High Score Challenge, hoping it would be included on the Mini NES (it was!) and hoping there would be enough of them on store shelves for everybody (there wasn't!) After waiting long enough it was time to make this Squad Challenge happen, especially in remembrance of the game's creator, Satoru Iwata. It was great to have so many of you participate! Nosweargamer won with an impressive 606,750 points! Starbuck66 placed 2nd with a score of 465,550! I hope this has been fun for everybody and was as much fun for you as it was for me. I'd like to encourage NSG to post his winning Balloon Fight high score on the Scoreboard! Way to go everyone! We invite Squad Challenge winners to share their winning scores on the Scoreboard and keep the game going!
