    Truth be told, I suck at these games... I find Simon mesmerizing but I won't try it any time soon since I was so focused last time that I almost fried my brains trying to remember all the sounds and colours. :D

    Oooo... Atmer is within 22 seconds of toppling my Moon Lander score. Maybe time for old Buzz to climb back in the cockpit tonight :)

    I wonder why I have the strange feeling that, pretty soon, I’m gonna have to land in the moon a few more times… :mommy:

    I'm still trying to break your snake record, but I think my snake got dyslexic or something. Go figure it. :shake:

    simon is actually harder on the computer screen. i can memorize the diff sounds as 1,2,3,4 & punch them back in on a simon machine much better than having to move the mouse thumbball around

    I seriously doubt anyone can remember a sequence of 38 without writing them down. :shake:

    by doing sounds its like playing chords on a guitar, if you start to think of it like that it gets to be easier. used to know a guy in school who could bet any of us playing simon & kept his eyes closed the whole time.



    edit. HEY! i think i just figured out why that 5th fret button on guitar hero always gives me so much trouble!!

    Not that I'd be writing 'em down or anything...

    Well, I had a hard time with my touchpad on my laptop (didn't have my mouse with me) when I started sweating (somewhere around 15) and my fingers didn't move so adequately and I started losing my renowned touch! :D

    I think I reached my limits at that game, I got such a headache, I'm not sure I'll try to beat the new record (and I don't believe I couls anyway).

    I support Decados, if anybody can do it, I believe he can! ;)

    Buzz is back on top! With that high gravity and high engine impulse at those higher levels, I've found it's harder to take off and not smash into the rock above than it is to just land on the pad...

    Damn you Buzz, :p I knew I’d not wake up being the champ. :nolike:
    I’m gonna give it another try later on, not enough time right now. :tie:

    You’re right about the take off; I’ve lost all my lives in my last run by smashing my ship on the above rock. :aww:

    Either would work :D But Aldrin is obviously most appropriate for moon landings :)

    That's the truth, BA. To reclaim his title, 'Buzz' spent almost 50 minutes on that Lander game! His patience with these repetitive games impresses me more than his (admittedly high) skillz.

    Heh. True; I possess very high patience. Not only that, but that 50 minutes was just the winning attempt - it takes many more than one try to succeed. :)

    Finally managed to find the time to make an serious attempt to take my rightful top place at Asteroids back. It's annoying that dying once might lead to a nasty chain reaction, especially if one of those little bastard ufo's are anywhere near the center of the screen. :)

    Yeah, it's almost the same as Space Invaders: Just a grind. Only the additional challenge is the mouse leaves the window sometimes and you lose control of the paddle.

    After I originally surpassed Faye's score I stopped being careful and tried to keep as many balls on the screen as possible. Eventually I lost them all instead :)
