Hardware/Settings in beginning, attempt at 8:45.
Amusingly long time to get the start I wanted, held it together when the game finally came to me!
Tiny improvement on my AA HSC top score, wound up playing it continuously even after it's scoring week was over.
This can't really be perceived as an "endless" game-it's "set to stop you", when you get to 9 package deliveries in the HVAC Factory(read the manual, lol).
Now, I (don't really)want to gloat, "Man, mashed my best buddies score"(and everyone else's, lol, even the Author, Andrew, a GREAT Friend now-pretty sure I have the only 60K+ games, and twice!!!)(Sorry...), but I really did put extra time in "understanding" this game. If you watch close, I make few mistakes using the power-ups, it's all "on purpose".
I KNOW, when the Big Dogs really put their minds to it, they'll catch me, Doggone It!, haha, but I really have enjoyed the run on this game, being quoted on the back of the box is more than I ever dreamed of!
Thanks Everyone!!!

Video doesn't want to play for some reason.
I'll give it a bit, then try to upload "additional evidence", I guess.
:(

Naw, I can't get others vids to play either.
Anyone know, is this a Vzaar problem, or a PC problem on my end?
Ugh.

Cleared some browser history, and it works for me now.
Weird.

OK, lol-now that I have my own personal "video problem" sorted out...
Not one to "shill"-I have a boxful of patches for 2600 achievements that I KNOW several here would love to have, have the OK from Jace to casually sell them here, but really "to embarrassed" to(I'm not the businessman...).
This game was planned/conceived(I've told this story before, just reiterating)as a tribute, to the people who had helped the Author through a serious Cancer issue. Was planned as a "small release", and basically we were "playtesting" it in the Atariage HSC.
Andrew(the author)planned it on being a small release, for the people it was "made" for(they are IN the game! WOW!), and some extra copies for the "faithful" playing it in the HSC.
He doesn't really care for attention/notoriety/, and especially money, it seems.
So after some thought, he decided to let them sell the game on AtariAge, will be available soon, and-
All the profits go to charity!
:D
No shilling for personal gain, haha, but I'd really like to see people check this game out-it's available "free" for download(easy to find, but you gotta do that yurself), but truly-the packaging/production of this game...
Is just worth getting, I promise, on so many levels. "Good Game", "Good Cause", "My name is on the back of the box"(OK, that's a stretch, as far as "worth getting", haha).
So yeah-if this looks interesting, find it, play it on Stella.
If it captivates you like it did me, pick up a hard copy, you'll be glad you did-I have a LOT of stuff, but is one of my most "Prized Possessions"!
My "time" with this game, and passion doing so, is only possibly matched/exceeded by the Burgertime, this game is so, so, so important to me, good game, good "reason", and a tiny smidge of vesting myself in it's "history", just so, so proud, 100% tops.
Thanks Andrew, Man, so much!
(Anthony, lol!!!)
:D

Got the infamous error with Firefox, then I tried with Chrome and it worked. Voted yes.
