That dude in the background is quite awesome! If you could snap a 'squarely' framed picture of that I might use it as my avatar for a while.
Art is never squarely framed
Feast your eyes on this, fellas I did this under Tier 3 rules and this is the best I have gotten so far tonight, all perfects through Level 12 and then had to use combos to keep from losing on the next 2 rounds. Got greedy on Level 15 and lost at the very end. I'm sure a few of you will beat this score by the end of the week.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I've played the Game Boy version of Palamedes a few times in the past, but never really liked the game.
But it's time to give it another chance on the NES.
Love this game. This should be a fun week.
I don't usually care for puzzle games, but I always enjoyed this one.

He don't normally play puzzle games, but when he do, he prefer Palamedes?
Been fun watching the tournament scores roll in so far. Good luck everyone!
This week will be fairly crazy, with red days hitting hard and my competitive mood disappearing due to that, among other work insanity.
Don't expect much from me this time around.
I see this is going to be a matter of min/maxing the hell out of runs. Ugh.
