@obsidianspider 19k - congrats on the score! :)

@pjft Thanks, this game is friggin hard.

I've seen in past MAME ROWs that when people post score updates that seems to spur on activity and competition, so I figured I'll do what I can to keep things going before I lapse into a turkey coma later today.

If it weren't for that all-too-busy time of year, you'd likely see a lot more activity. I haven't really been able to sit down with it yet myself. I hope to steal an hour or two later this evening though.

I'll be out for the next week, so I won't update this anymore and won't join next week's session.

Have fun, a happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the US and/or who celebrate it, and have fun!

Got myself a new 4-way joystick which I have been messing about with over the past few days, and finally got round to trying for a decent score at Puyo Puyo 2.

Conclusion - I suck at Puyo Puyo 2, even armed with my new joystick I can't get past level 2!

Oh yeah! 20k! @obsidianspider is right, the difficulty increases very fast!

@meleu wow, I have no idea how you got that score, well played! Everytime I think I'm doing okay, the other guy suddenly drops a tonne of rocks on me and it's GAME OVER!

Here's my pitiful 'high score' this week.

8674!

I still can't beat Stage 3, but here's a score for @meleu to top. ;)

A few things came up that put all my leisure activities on hold. However, I was able to find time to play this a bit on Thanksgiving evening. While the score is nothing to crow about, I figured I would post it for completion's sake.

As I'm going through the ROWs of the past and putting my input and screenshots into them, I've come across one of my nemeses, Kung Fu Master. I have a rep for mastering games quickly, but this game is a critical hit in my Achilles Heel. No matter what I do, I can never get very far in that game. Being a hard game in general is no excuse, I usually learn to destroy hard games even more so than others. I just never got this one.
