Didn't improve, but had another 66K game.

There was a streak in that game where I was finally in a groove where the score didn't matter, the number of extra ships didn't matter; it was just me and the river.

I'm feeling safe with my score, but I can't let this game go, yet. I'm thinking I have one more day and maybe there is one more big game left in me.

47,890... minor bump, frustrating as heck. I KNOW I can do better, by my hand is cramping a bit on the stick.

ARRRGHHHH! I wanted that top spot back and I was so close I could taste it. Not sure if I'll be able to get another game in before the deadline. Have to go deliver pizzas to some hungry Super Bowl folks tonight.

Good luck everyone and don't forget to tip your drivers well. They're missing the Super Bowl for you. :)

Well, I was hoping to break 100k this week, but now it doesn't look likely. Just haven't been able to maintain that sense of Flow that Scrabbler so aptly described. Anyways, slight improvement..........87,310

Finding out about the scarcity of fuel made my appreciation of this game increase over tenfold.

And partially thanks to that, I've been able to play and even get 151,330!

I was barely able to reach for that 100k mark on the brink of death, only to get a better hold of survival afterward.

I just thought of something very sneaky. Since the difficulty level is A/B, why not play as player 2. I think of this with 37 minutes to go

Atari 2600 Knockout Round 4: has claimed its victim... Stan. No show, (Score of 0)

However, he can still show up (everyone here too!) and post scores and be ranked for the upcoming games ...
