No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have a bad feeling that I would have gotten a zero this week, especially with limited playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This may be redundant this week since I'm not sure I'll get anywhere near the minimums, especially Life Force, I'll post a score reserve just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I haven't played Q*Bert yet, but that's pretty lame if they put a continue feature into an arcade port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I didn't realize this sooner, but it's definitely NOT a puzzle game, it's an arcade game... Bea is definitely stretching the definition of what a puzzle game is here, hahaha! But, to her defense, there's some puzzle elements in Q bert, especially when the blocks start to change every time you step on them, and then when a third color is introduce to the whole. Still more an arcade game, but we can accept it as puzzle oriented for sure. Also, the arcade genre is the most historically based, and a lot of the game mechanics and criteria we easily recognize in the other genres can actually be found in a lot of arcade games. They're almost always arcade + 'insert another genre' games , theoretically speaking. And it could have been even more weird as she initially picked up Popeye as a puzzle game for the first round, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure he will wait to Sunday night before realizing that he forgot to play all week again and end up not even posting a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Qbert was classified as puzzle back when we played it in 2016. https://archive.nes.science/nintendoage-forums/nintendoage.com/forum/messageviewe30b.html?catid=31&threadid=163346 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
