A pox upon the starter of this thread.

Here's an example of where a (previously) nice tunnel gets nasty... still possible, but that next barrier was the one that messed me up, hesitated about whether to shoot for top or bottom.

Thank you. Likewise, you have done very well. It all depends on how it generates it. Just got lucky I suppose

I bet it was that third barrier that threw you? When I notice things like that it ruins my concentration on the problem at hand. Either that or you blink.

Yeah. I was in a state of pure panic because I didn't know what my score was or how far I had gone..I was only concentrating on the barriers (or political scandals as I call them...i pretend the little purple line is the stock market and your objective it to take it as far as you can without the economy crashing....please dont ask) and seeing the next two threw me off completly.

Oh well.

It's funny, you know, how some gaming company can sink millions and millions to a game, and what's really addictive is this kind of an exceedingly simple game.

It's a game of nerves, man. A game of nerves.

I dont have screenshots as this was some time ago
but me and a friend would play and send our high score to each other
we wouldnt stop playing till we beat the other's high scores
of course the first few days it was 2000, then 2200
we did this for maybe 10 days, we reached the 2800s
ITs funny that by ourselves we wouldnt have got passed the 2100, at that point I already though it was impossible to go much further.
Its funny how a bit of competivness can push you....

Never played it. Prefer to waste my time with Civ and SMAC.

Trajanus, 2800 is doable
I wont bother putting a screenshot because as you say it can be edited...
But try playing the game 2 hours a day maybe for 10 days thats a lot but not crazy if you compare to other such games (Tetris etc)
I bet you can do at least 2600 maybe even 2900 if youre good
