How the hell you get 588? That's nearly double most people's best.

Got put on that game yesterday from another forum where the poster's best was 613. Like I said, the key is line drives to get the peng to skid. I haven't hit a pop-up longer than about 480. To time it right, I get struck out a lot, but when ya connect right, the peng will go like a straight shot in the air past the last sign, then bounce and skid for up to another 200-250. I spent 2 or 3 minutes at it 2nite, but didn't get any further than 503, and most a lot less, on average.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just don't. I mean, all you do it click your mouse so the penguin jumps, then click it again to swing the bat. I've probably hit that sucker a few hundred times so far and have never gotten past the 322.90 mark that I mentioned, and most are in the 200-300 range. If you hit it too high, it just plugs in the ground. Hit it to straight and it skids to a quick stop. Is there something I'm missing here? I can't imagine 400 much less 500 or 600.

Hehehe- I actually found out the discrepancy, and do hereby apologize to all the heavy hitting yetis here at RR. This link http://meph.eu.org/ is the one I've been playing, not the link you posted. Now, I mistakenly assumed that the thing was scattered all over the web, which it is (I've found at least 3 other url's running it) and that it would be the same thing- I was wrong. The one I was playing has obviously been juiced up. On yr link, I got a 320 best.

I'll go put on my hair shirt and do some heavy penance.

Dude, thanks for that bit of information. I was making myself nutz trying to figure out how anyone could possibly do so much better. I went to your link and was able to get 553 after a few swings.
