OK, fellas (namely Lagavulin and gameboy9), since when do we switch scoring factors in our games? Very clever, I guess, but absolutely out of line! For crissakes, the Lazer Command game was won and lost based on getting the 15 tanks of your opponent. Perhaps you two are too young to remember this game, but that's the way it was played. If you want to try a new scoring angle, this is not the way to do it! Yes, this is yet another lame game that we can take advantage of, but you don't just go around and make up new ways to score a game...especially when the timer that you chose to use here was intended as just that...a timer!

What's next? Is someone going to suggest that in order to break up the logjam at the top of bowling games that we use our verified handicaps from bowling leagues that we are in? This is ridiculous to say the least!

If the game intended time left at the end to count it would have awarded bonus points for time left when calculating a final score !!!

I'm with you JG, so I guess it's time I tried for perfect scores on this and the Bowling Games to help out my leaderboard cause.... assuming BIL doesn't wipe out more of my galaxian scores between now and home-time which would naturally need an attempt at answering.... but it's getting more and more difficult now the scores are getting up there.... ;-)
