Jeez, maybe you were right about the holiday hangover.
You don't have to worry about a sweep from me this week no matter how slow it gets. I doubt I'd ever catch that Pengo score by the end of the week. I suck at that game. I probably suck at these two also, but I won't know til I see some other scores. I don't really get the scoring system on Ladybug.

This is vacation week for me thus I plan to use my time to try and finish my cocktail cabinet. I'll get to the games later this week but I too know I can't beat that Pengo score. I've always sucked at that game.

Well, thanks for trying to help, but I knew that and it still doesn't prevent me from sucking. Pengo was one of the first five games in mame, so I played it plenty back around that time. Those stupid penguins never walk in front of the block you want them too.
Yeah, you better watch your back! I'm getting better!

Usually, you make your decision about which you're going to do right at the get go. I used to play this in the arcade all the time, don't ask me why because it's a frustrating game.

At least I know I don't have to play Lady Bug anymore. It's not quite as frustrating as Pengo, but every now and then when you hit the wrong door, or don't look in front of you... #@*!
Finally got past level 2! What a pain in the ass that was!

OK, I have no chance in hell of beating any of those scores so I've got to make a request...please, please, please, whoever wins, pick something a little less repetitive These games are killing me. I don't mind if the game repeats after a while, but every level looks almost the same (just with bad guys sped up a bit).

I think it's actually easier with the keyboard. I keep getting very close to beating that 7th level. Harder to type now that my right hand is a permanent claw from this game
