Posts: 263 Group: Members Member #273 Joined: March 5, 2011	I'm imagining a scene, from sometime back in the 80s Player finds this game in arcade. "Ooh, what's this, looks interesting" Player puts 10p in slot and has a go Player doesn't quite complete the first level Player thinks "game over already? what a rip-off! I've only been playing 40 seconds" Player thinks "bugger this, I'm not putting another 10p in this stupid game" Game is not a big success. ...which is kind-of a shame, because it's an alright game when you get the hang of it. 68,000 Attached to this post: 0006.png (2.79 KB)

Posts: 811 Group: Members Member #68 Joined: January 1, 2007	97,750 Infuriatingly close sooooooo many times to the end of L6 - the length of a skateboard on one attempt! - though did manage to pick up 2 skateboard bonuses this round. I'll make L7 yet! Consistently making 40+ seconds bonus time for L4. Now just need to concentrate more, and remember to slow down a little.

Posts: 811 Group: Members Member #68 Joined: January 1, 2007	135,300 Managing to crack 100k whilst running L4, but can't quite make it beforehand. Should have been 150k this run, bit silly mistake lost me time in the final run when I lost my 'board - lost time and bonus. Boo! Don't like the ramp-only levels as I cannot seem to jump them all correctly. Double boo! And only just managed L5 - 0.1 seconds left! Pheeeeeeee-u!

Bronze medal goes to starcom for consistency Silver for a.j.green, with two weekly wins and strong performances all round But the gold and title of champion goes to... clarance, with three wins and some outstanding scores Thanks to everyone for taking part, and to necronom and Zaphod for helping me keep the League going Champ's Challenge will be running for the next two weeks, and then straight into our next season...
