mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14493 Loc: Canada	The BreakOut Game competition at the Cambridge Meet did seem to get everyone's attention, despite being held rather late in the afternoon. Things actually got pretty intense watching the competitors on the video monitor, waiting to see who would beat Rory's early high score (nobody did!). So, to help everyone get ready for next year's competition, Hijack v463 is now available, with the BreakOut game score reporting feature now included in the stock Hijack kernel. So, warm up those fingers, and wear out those rotary encoders! Cheers Mark

If we practice and have a few board clearing contestants, it'll be a tough competition. Well, if you count the number of moves like you said, lowest wins. It will become more of an art form than a game. _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set

And who said the game will be "breakout" at next year's meet.. ?

Or how about a collection of all the empeg games! _________________________ Rory MkIIa, blue lit buttons, memory upgrade, 1Tb in Subaru Forester STi MkII, 240Gb in Mark Lord dock MkII, 80Gb SSD in dock
