Today (but too late and I didn't use it in my recordings) I found that gorilla works as shield on every stage 1. Without gorilla is impossible to finish laters stages 1.
On stage 1 are 3 levels. It is possible use gorilla on every level and finish stages 1 without risk that monkeys will throw apples and kill kangaroo.

As far as I know, nobody else qualified for the random prize after the Thursday bonus deadline.

Also, as far as I know Marco's 159,700 would be third place.

Anyone have differing information before I post (semi)official results? I really don't want to have to wait until after tonight's lottery drawing to settle the random prize.

Results:

1st: destructor (379,900)
2nd: Sampras@AIVA (309,700)
3rd: MarcoMarocco@AIVA (159,700)

Marco takes third and 2 bonus points for 7 total.

Sampras takes second and 4 bonus for 11 total.

destructor gets the highest score and farthest level reached on MAME default settings (in addition to claiming the further bounty on marathon settings)

Eligible for the random prize:

destructor@HotTeam.pl (1-7)
Don Hayes (8-14)
Gerhard Schindler (15-21)
Greg Erway (22-28)
MarcoMarocco@AIVA (29-35)
MJSTY (36-42)
Potante (43-49)
Sampras@AIVA (50-56)

If somebody got missed because of the MARP outage I'll make it up to them another week somehow.

Watch at 0300 hours GMT for the numbers drawn here:

http://www.txlottery.org/online/winmegamillion.cfm

which will determine the winner. The first ball drawn will be the winning number.

Holy crap...the winning number is 5.

I hereby proclaim the third week of August from this year forward as "Rafal Politanski Week". To be celebrated in Poland with festivals, feasts, and a day-long parade. The rest of the world is forbidden to play video games for 7 days. So it is written, so it shall be done.

But seriously, des is going to look the shizzle in his "It's on like Donkey Kong" t-shirt.

Destructor,
Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

I've made 176500 yesterday ...

Hahahahahaha

NotMan, do you see? This is not hat-trick, it's something more

Thanks

EDIT
I recorded example inp with gorilla as shield. Otherwise it's not perfectly what I show, but somebody can work on it for perfect method. Wolf106. Difficulty is hard. I don't see difference between hard and easy.

And what I want to say. Playing on keyboard is more easy (minimum 5 times) than on joystick.

Yes, it's true. Later I will write why.

You try playing a mahjong game with a joystick... wait a minute, that just sounds wrong.

I notice that further bounty isn't marked as claimed.
