The best NES games for high score are probably the more traditional arcade type games like Kung Fu, Donkey Kong Jr., Pac-Man, Bubble Bobble, 1943, etc. as well as puzzle games like Tetris and Yoshi's Cookie. Kung Fu in particular is a very well made game in terms of its scoring and is always fun to play for points.
Glad we've got a solid set of rules, now. I can consistently get to stage 6 without continuing, so now it's just a matter of submitting a score I feel comfortable with(I'm critical of sloppy mistakes in this game).

Tough game that kind of plays like Battletoads on skates. I've only made it to stage 4 which might already be good enough for top 8 placement. You'll probably get top 3.
What's the deal with the lives farming? It's a low score/progress so Why would I want to farm lives if it increases my score?
You can do okay in a low score/progress contest if it's a tough game just by making sufficient progress and extra lives help with that. I got fifth place in the Battletoads low score contest with a maxed out score.

I'm going to have to make up a lot of ground to get a score like that with me barely playing like I have been most of the time. I would have 119 with participation scores the rest of the way. I'd be happy with Top 5 overall!
Got to the last part of the jungle last night and kept slipping off due to carelessness. Gonna post a pic here from work at breaktime on an emulator, to at least get my participation this week, in case I can't get back to it at home.
Sucked it up this morning after spending 20 minutes trying to get my NES to play the game. I'm on vacation after work today, so no more updates from me 'till Wednesday.

This pink chick is a damn babe.........just got to stage 2 with her I think we are going to get married.
The Rockers dude looks like Ziggy Stardust. If you use him you can pretend it's a David Bowie game.
I will likely spend Friday night, Saturday and most of Sunday in debauchery, celebrating that.
No time for video games this weekend.
OK. I am definitely not posting a score for this one. Didn't have time today, and Saturday makes 3 years that I was deemed free of cancer.

This is great news Bea.
I'm overjoyed for your good health.
2 days and I still cannot get passed those stupid fire/laser things on stage 2.
Stage 2 - 13,800

Just spam the A button as fast as you can and you'll usually jump over them.
edit: updated
Come and get it skinny. I want you to torture yourself all weekend with this game for my beat em up award because I AM going to perfect this
This game is maddening. Battletoads, except your always on ice
Battletoads' own ice stage is less frustrating than this, haha.
EDIT: Here's my contribution; 47,300 6-4. Had to fight the Maniacs in 6-2 twice, but pretty solid overall. Managed to get through 6-3 in one shot!
I had never played this game, and I think it's decent. I don't think I'll get anymore time with it this weekend though, so this is all I've got.
