Gaming Goals for DiggingInNY aka Joshua aka The Iron Sheik (thanks Hank)

Thanks. You gotta drop by there sometime to show them who is boss in Galaga, Frogger, and everything else.

I was at Barcade last night and my friend Mark aka ZAP and I decided to play some Joust doubles and out of nowhere we scored a combined 7,603,250 points in marathon settings. We pretty much have it locked down to a science, though we had our fair share of greediness, but we feel that we can blow this score out of the water. Joust doubles was not on my list of goals, but it is now.

The layout of the new location is great. It has the feel of a traditional arcade. Here is a list of the games they have.

Awesome! Nice score! Roll 'er over next time! Lovit!

Thanks man. Eventually the plan is 10,000,000 a piece. I figure it will take about 10 hours to do.

I reached one of my gaming milestones tonight. I broke 350,000 on Lady Bug at Barcade's 10th Anniversary party. I also took down George Leutz's (Duncan P. Idontknow) long standing Barcade score (over 3 and a half years) as well.

Here are some updated scores for my classic arcade gaming goals for this year. I had a breakout game of Joust last weekend. My previous best was 1.3 million. I also added a new goal. I am trying to see how far I can get in Dig Dug without dropping any boulders. All enemy kills will be with the pump.

Game                                   Personal High                             Goal                 
Dig Dug (No Boulders)           Round 74                                  Round 100
Joust (Marathon)                   2,166,900                                 3,000,000+

Below is a screen shot of my Joust game and here is a link to my Dig Dug game. I post these about once a week on YouTube. ! No longer available

sweet score sir!   
The no boulder variation is a great idea and it's fun to see how you have to change your strats to survive.   Next you'll be playing it with your feet.     DDG could also mean Dig Dug Game
 

[DiggingInNY]

Thanks man. It is tricky for some stages, because you either have to be super fast with the pump button or know how to dig paths to divert thet enemies away. It's fun and challenging. I can imagine how fast I can pump using my toes :-P

Last night, I made a last second decision to go to Barcade and I ran into my good buddy ZAP and we decided to give some Joust doubles a go. We were rocking all night. We had crowds watching us and we scored a combined 10,000,000+ points. We stopped the game after we each got 5,000,000 a piece. It was getting really late. We started at 9:30 and finished at 2:30 in the morning. Though not a personal best, I managed to sneak in a 326,000 point Lady Bug game on a faulty joystick.
