MM 6 year old's high score

I've had MM working for 3 days. My personal high score on it is about
70M. On location I've only hit 87M (or so) because I've never played
one that is totally functional.

.... While I'm giving some TLC to our other machine, my 6 year old son is
playing "his" new MM and it sounds like he's having a decent game when
he says... Dad, I'm fighting the King of Payne. I look over and he's at
about 65M. In the excitement of talking to me about the game, he drains
and ends up with the 72M GC score. And my 8 year old who is much better
at learning rules (if you know what I mean) isn't even home this weekend.

Ouch.

Damn kids! ;-)

Great story! Your pride in your kids really shines through.

It's actually one of the things that keeps me in this hobby...

My (then) 5 year old beat me in a fair 2 player game of Jurassic Park.
The look on his face when he did it was priceless! I'm still better
than my (now) 6 year old, but he's coming on fast!

....Guess I'll just have to sell that JP

Just wait till one of them is playing a Bram Stoker Dracula, and its
starts chanting thirrrrttty millliiiooon. Its like saying to so often
Im like gotta be a messed up switch. I go over and look and sure enough
he is bagging all the jackpots, and then nails the castle jackpot. Did
this like 3 or 4 times. His final score around 2 billion! That is a
great score on BSD, my best is 4.5B.

Kids can learn so fast when they want to!

Nice story! Made me smile.

I know how you feel. For weeks, I had the high score on my Space
Shuttle at 1.1M. No more, my 12-year old daughter is now King (ahem
Queen) of the hill at 1.3M.

LOL, well done to him!

My highest score on MM was 172 million, but that was one amazing game!
