on gameboy, i can get 280 lines. on calculator, i think i got like...actually i dont know

I have no problem with kids using calculators. It's just new technology. Christ, a pencil was new technology at one point in time. It releases the kids from the drudgery of cranking out the numbers, and frees their minds to the higher aspects of mathematics By punching numbers into a computer, and not doing the paperwork, a lot of time is saved. Calculations that would have taken years by hand, take minutes or seconds now. New boundaries are open, it's a brave new world..

and there's games :thumbs-up:

280? :crackhead: i think on gameboy my high was 190, if even that high
on the calculator im usually around 170-180

look who you're talking to. quickstop is a human gaming machine. he's like a young magus...without the getting angry and fighting with people over codes. :thumbs-up:

that 280 was on tetris DX, the gameboy color version. I dont know if they lowered the difficulty or anything. I rememer getting about 150 on the original, but that's probably because i was half as old as i am now

i wish. I'm not really bad at any games, but i only majorly kick ass on a few. no one has ever beaten me at street fighter alpha 3, and only two have beaten me at THPS, and they were both online. i kick all but one of my friends asses at multiplayer console FPS's.

I don't have a problems with using a calculator, AS LONG AS they know how to do it by hand first.

drugwar was boring. the best calculator game was nibbles.

nibbles 2 > nibbles 1

<span style='font-family:tahoma'>They first starting letting the kids use calculators in school around maybe the 6th grade, but we had already learned how to do the basic shit before that. Well most of us anyway. Some of the kids got screwed cuz when we were in 7th grade, the regular math teacher retired and the new one only taught them division, the whole year. So the next year, they didnt know anything they were supposed to, and it made it harder for them to do well. I always use a calculator now though, the math is way too tough to in my head.</span>
