Sabertooth Posted December 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 382,113. I had my best ever run on my third game today.

Sabertooth Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Congratulations Sabertooth! Congratulations to yours truly - @Sabertooth - the winner of our Jetboard Joust Recharged Squad Challenge! I took the top of the podium with my first Recharged Squad Challenge win and a crushing score of 382,113! @D.joe took second place with an excellent score of 140,337. @Yorkies TV turned in a solid score of 46,748 to take third place! @stirrell had his personal best and took fourth with a score of 37,575! As the winner of this round @Sabertooth will receive 3 entries in the controller giveaway! Everyone else will receive one entry! I will be posting this high score on the Scoreboard so let's make sure this Challenge continues on! Thanks also to @Marco1019 for getting the word out about this challenge! If you haven't already, check him out on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/retrowithmarco! I'm going to give myself a big ole pat on the back for an unusually strong showing. 😉 A big congratulations to the rest of the Squad! Jetboard Joust is a true hidden gem on the VCS. It takes a familiar formula and successfully layers on modern gaming elements, combined with a distinctive art style and frenetic action to create a superb arcade experience. Importantly, it's SUPER FUN! If I had a place to insert quarters in my VCS, I would have spent well over the $9.99 cost of entry. I hope that those who participated enjoyed exploring the game! NOTE: Our next Recharged Squad Challenge is VCTR-SCTR! Be there! RickR, Marco1019 and stirrell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
