Just returned from Comic-con '05...and I'm ready to make you work for the B. Brothers! (Actually I say we trot that one out as well, if I should win more than one.) But to nameth another choice, I summon SUPERMAN (I'm in a DC Comics mood).

Hey, who are you calling "program," program...?!
Well if no one else is going to post his/her Steven Lisberger score, I'll do the honors...although it is rather pathetic. I just can't accomplish much sans a spinner.
My next gaming choice is DARIUS. So if you hate that game, rez up your light cycles and hit the grid. End of line.

Just to make sure it's clear, this thread keeps going as long as there is no score posted for Dragon Breed. Once we've got an entry for every game, it keeps going until we've had 3 days with no new high scores posted.

Anyways, I'm working on my own Journey RPG which we could maybe play next week. You start out as one of the five guys in high school and by going to gigs, selling T-shirts and 8-Tracks you get cash which you can spend on new guitars, fancy guitar-keyboards and spandex pants. Learn to rock out, get a perm and buy a fancy car and eventually you may even be able to steal Sherry from Steve. Just watch out for the evil Randy Jackson who will try and coerce you into appearing as a Guest judge on American Idol thus proving your career is over.

It was hard enough for me to get to this thing, I don't think I can beat it unless I get lucky with the right power up.
If D300 doesn't pick a game and this is over tomorrow, we'll just go with Darius. Slow thread, but we've bounced back from worse, so I'll keep it going for now. My Dragon Breed score shouldn't be that tough to beat. That's only level 2.

Keep moving to the left and right, then let 'er have it once the middle section drops down. It really helps to have extra shields and power. Having said that, it's the next wave that's the real bugger. I've made it there with all my men and still been wiped clean out.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the ROM for DRAGON BREED....oh da well.

And I didn't even bother at all..
Upgraded my mac but I had to do a clean install so all my roms I had are gone. And I've been super busy since moving. I'll jump back in when I can.

Just barely beat IRII...
I too, dies right at the next stage after the boss with homing missles. I have beaten it before, but only if you get lucky and get a buster laser or a flame bomb...
