I'm going to second what JoustGod said. I know... dittoing another person ain't original... but he nailed it... ask me when I went through the very small number of Q's I did... two of them were 2 million point Qbert games where I was pacing saying "get this game over with!" So that's now 2 - 0 in favor of using 5 lives and no extras in Qbert. Yes - it's a little more responsibility of the judges to count the number of lives used... but it's worthwhile and makes it more competitive.(posted 9251 days ago)GB9
