I beat the game!



In case you're not familiar with the potential addiction that is "Bop It Extreme", it's the game in the picture there. The idea is to do what the game tells you to do. There are five possibilities... you either "Bop It", "Spin It", "Twist It", "Pull It", or "Flick It", each with it's own piece of the game you have to actuate to successfully keep going. It plays a little beat and you have to bop it or flick it, etc., to the beat (or faster).

Anyway, I've gotten scores as high as the mid- to upper-100's (180ish or so) in the past, when we first got the game about 5 years ago. As the batteries died the game got forgotten, and only recently did we replace the batteries. I picked it up this evening and started playing, and after about 10 minutes, the beat pattern changed abruptly, and it no longer was telling me what to do. I looked at it strangely until it said "Hi Score" and gave my score of 250. That's it. Game over. I guess you can't go any higher.

I guess that's one fewer time waster to spend my time on, now that I know I can do it. :)
