If everyone's happy to go with that then it's cool by me.

Don't think you've got much to worry about though, Sickboy 8) :) I see from the MAME sesh's you're a bit of a legend :mrgreen:

Shame the G++ score-table is so meagre. It'd be great if we could play G++ SE Endurance mode... Now that would be a pure high-score competition. ;)

Nice one, Elizian. It was getting lonely around here. :)

Still say it would be seriously lovely if Jeff could see his way to making G++ SE - Endurance Mode available to us Lleaguers. It's the game in its purest form - one life, no Resume Bests, see how far you can get...

Room for a Tiny one?

The Green arrow is my Non-resume best, and the Blue one is my RB. No, I haven't got them the wrong way round. Weird, eh?

I have a game abandonment quandary:

recently I've developed the nasty habit of quitting a game if I think I've lost too many lives to advance the position of my Resume Best, and in extreme cases, abandoning a game if I think I should be able to complete a particular level without losing any lives... obviously I still have to complete each level legitimately, but this tactic is quite effective in increasing my Resume Best position (and score)

so are scores achieved in this way acceptable, or should I kill this player profile and start again? :?

I say "who gives a monkeys?!" post your score up, honest, we won't laugh! :lol:

I'm glad this thread's been bumped up, cos I'd forgotten about it. :)

Anyway, after many months, and playing GR++SE, here's my normal GR++ score table:
