    What, no classic Tetris music?

    Great, I'm gonna get fired from my job for sure now.

    And not only that, I picked up the Orange Box for $20 on the way home!

    Congrats on your King of the Arcade status, BTA. :D

    Barmy, I'll be adding more games as soon as I have some free time on my hands.

    How disappointing! I fully expected to be toppled from the top already. C'mon people let's keep it interesting! ;)

    This really is interesting. Haven't managed to claw my way into the top positions yet, but I'm certainly working on it.

    And I'm convinced BTA is cheating on that awful spaceship game (yes I'm bitter; I crash immediately just about every time)!

    You may refer to me as Buzz rather than BTA when discussing the Moon Lander game :lol:

    If time is a problem, it seems your administrator has plenty of free time on his hands, seeing that he is current leader in four games. ;)

    /me bows low to BTA!

    Just noticed on the leaderboard that Caradhras has an Average Score of 0.8.

    BTA may be good, but even he is not averaging better than first place!

    Man, that Space Invaders is just a grind. I could play that for eternity if I chose to; I just gave up after 200K...

    I can't believe my Simon score was beat already; I don't think I could duplicate that effort again... Good job martaug!

    I agree on the Space Invaders. Once I got past Keneth's score, I just let it go -- too boring.

    Thanks. Too bad it doesn't have the classic tetris music though, that'd be super. But I'm pretty sure someone will top that score soon, lol.
