I got 208 here at work with a \ crappy computer, but the best I could get a t home with a smoking rig was 112. On the slow rig, I had more time to get out of the way, and I got a great “invincible” streak. Funny, I can usually get much better scores at home on the better computer. ---

After 10 runs my best was 159. I’ll come back to it later and see if I can break 200. ---

I got 105, I doubt I’ll get much higher than this. I don’t tend to improve in these games all that much. ---
