The round isn't over til Sunday night. We need people to beat devilshalo so we don't have to play Star Castle next week! You can make suggestions, but that's more what Desmond's thread was about, favorite old arcade games.
Zookeeper is a cool game though
I'm sure it will get picked by someone eventually.

Wow.. Zookeeper? I remember that game..
I wanted to stay on track with classic arcade games. Didn't know you could choose old console games too. Or else I would have had to pick Adventure
I just chose ones that were fun and I didn't need a joystick to control. Us mac users aren't gamers.

Does Adventure even keep score? You can change your picks if you want. I just want to make sure whoever wins actually gets their pick in, since that's the "prize". If Adventure doesn't keep score, it'd be kinda tough to use that.

Oh I'm pissed! 

For some reason I got flipped back to the desktop and heard myself die 3 times before I could get it back in time to at least take the snapshot. I was in the $#!ing zone!

Why did they have to put the WINDOWS key between the KICK and the PUNCH keys?!?! Another MS blunder that has caused the death of thousands of Kung Fu Masters...

OK, assuming at least one of my scores holds up for another6 and a half hours, here's my first choice!

You can sing along while you play!
Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lohhnely weh-urld
She took the midnight train goin’ anyyyyywhere
Edit: Popeye seemed pretty popular on the other thread, so that's my second choice. Only 3 hours and 18 minutes to go! It's too quiet in here

OK, the deadline is up, we have moved on to week 3 and we don't have to play Star Castle or Kung-Fu Master

It only took me about $1 to get to level 4. It was pretty easy except for getting past the asteroid belt or whatever the heck that was on level 3
Look at how I died. There's nothing there, I just ran into the wall

Popeye is a hard game! I don't think I've ever even seen that level before.

I was really close to beating level 3 when I got this high score. For some reason though I apparently didn't hit F12 hard enough so it was just doing the intro demo when I took this. Good thing I decided to check and make sure I'd grabbed it.
