With a whole week off beforehand, I sincerely hope we're going to be playing the whole game come Sunday... All the best stuff happens after Mars... Also, anyone who sits this one out will be missing out on one of the True Greats of the NES Library. This one is Wicked-Space-Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the whole games takes too much time. Unless there is a password to start after Mars so people can play 4 races and end in less than 30 minutes, we doing the 4 first races.

IIRC that would be extremely awkward to no good at all because It'll start you with the first ship and no one is getting past Jupiter without the 3rd ship.

BeaIank | 1,603 Events Team · Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 That is sad. Alas, I understand why one would love to play the whole game, but time is an issue for people who been playing and participation levels have been really low lately. I gotta make it easy and fast for people to get their scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,508 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Man, Im kind of with @PII, especially since its the only racer. Reality is Pii and I will probably be the only ones who get into this regardless of rules. I say we reserve until the regulars all weigh in. I bet morbus and wiz will be up for trying to get thru it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll accept whatever the rules are since I like participating every week, but I do believe that having contests with hour+ runs does inhibit a lot of people from wanting to participate. I personally like short takes where you can try something over and over in like fifteen minutes or less per run. The Batman contest last year is a great example: it can be speedrun in like sixteen minutes with some practice, and you're still experiencing the whole game. Or one-life contests where you do as well as you can on a difficult game until you die; that's my jam.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play it for a day or two and see if you dont change your mind. Im usually for short contests as well, but we got 2 weeks and this is a masterpiece. It also has a pause button. Not being sarcastic, some racers dont. I was planning on doing runs in more than one session. Two or 3 short sessions gets it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,845 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 @NESfiend I just finished Mars at about 650,000 + 215,000 so the first round goes to you. But I had a few bad races since I was trying to pull off some more difficult maneuvers with sometimes yay and sometimes nay results, so I'd say we have a competition so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
