Any of you world class champions out there willing to provide some tips? It's a little easier with the Slik Stik, I notice, but still -- sheesh! Can't get past that 5114 score.

TIP:
If you can get past the 5k-6k range then you have it made. When starting those levels I position myself about in the center of the screen. Seems to give you the best chance of catching the luggage. Try to collect groups of luggage together (ie. on the same side) before moving to other regions of the screen.

The tip that worked best for me was to stay focused on the center of the screen and let the peripheral vision do the work.

Also, it's almost like the game "gives you a break" so to speak when the difficulty maxes out, because you don't get very many impossible combinations (far right, far left, far right) at max speed. And even if you do, you're scoring so many points per bag that you get that life back anyway. The main goal at max speed is to go for the black cases.

I've been tearing it up in the NES high score club this week. The game they're playing is one that I sat and played for four hours or so every night between my 16th and 17th birthdays. It was a detriment to my GPA in high school. :)
Needless to say, it is still very much second nature.

I suggest we call this one "rolled" at 100k?

I 2nd the "100,000 pt rolled" suggestion.

I 3rd it only because it just becomes pointless to see who has more endurance (or luck) when the difficulty maxes out.

Seems fair enough to me. Anyone opposed?

Nope, I'm all for that.

You can gain 3 (!) lives, per round, very near to 100k. Black case killed me.

For those using the original hardware, what controllers are you guys using/recommend?
