Very nice Asteroid score Sonic... there's still 7 players by Mario Bros,
it's not sealed that you will be eliminated next.

I actually wanted to play Asteroids on the easy setting to set a new record, but it was waaaaay too EASY.
There was also no UFO's... what a snooze!

Thank you!

it's possible... anything can happen in the big dance! I'll be entering Mario Bros week as a huge underdog, but maybe I can be a Cinderella player and pull an upset :P

I been playing Asteroids all night and all morning... and I got into 'the zone' and had an amazing run! I've reached a personal best…

114,880

Posted Image

let it be known that I am playing with a Sega Master System controller... it does help me better control the ship as well as for comfortably pressing the fire button at a rapid rate… using a stock SMS pad only works with one button, and hyperspace is activated by pressing 'down' on the dpad… I would have never been able to play at this level with a stock 7800 pro-line joystick…

1/2 WAY THROUGH ASTEROIDS (HAPPY NEW YEAR!) 2012...!

Sonic R got 1st place (King status) in Food Fight, Deja Vu with Asteroids, now in 1st again!
Darrin9999 does a flying leap into 2nd place, way up from last!
roadrunner staying steady here, in 3rd.
bigbee99 a quick score stands him 4th.
Gorfy although not far behind is last of the scores up so far, 5th

3 players with no score recorded yet...
patbb
Jifremok
atomickneedrop

Gorfy is on the bubble, BUT... 3 players haven't recorded a score yet,

DOUBLE BUT! everyone has about "2 1/4 days" left to play!
