Ya you have about 1.2 seconds and then the screen is gone forever. I know exactly what you mean. I've been at 130k with 9 lives to go and didn't make 150k. Lousy 3rd rounds.
I had a long session, more than 2 hours, but in the last games i played, i often raise the bar till 130k, i learned a lot of patterns to be certain i didn't miss points, but in my new pb, i concentrate on the speed, which finally was very good for me :-)
I choosed this game and the other i wasn't in first place at the end, not because i was very good at, but just because there were a joke about the flags in them ^^
I'm almost sure that if i continue, i can raise the bar like i did a few years ago when i reached the 120k bar.
I need to have a pause ;-)
Yeah, I personally don't see why anyone would want a retro gaming magazine. What's there to write about? And a 1Tb USB would be so useful for me. lol
That flag is completely based on luck, sadly. it could take no time to get it back or I might not.
