BeaIank 1,418 Events Team · Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Welcome abord, fellow aviators. You have quite the mission for this week! You will have to prove your skills and your mettle at 1943! The rules are as follow: Play until Game Over Take your picture on the Game Over screen If you have to re-start a level or boss because you did not destroy enough enemies, that counts as a Game Over. At this point, you must stop playing and take your picture. Anyone suspected of playing more of the game in the event you have to re-start a level or boss will have their score disqualified. Highest score wins GENRE: Shooter/Shoot ‘Em Up The contest ends Sunday, 05/28/23 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. 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. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed 1.3 million which is probably all that I'm going to have time for. That's pretty close to my personal best, so I'm satisfied with it even though it may not even be good enough for a top 5 score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll depend on how many shooter pros come of the woodwork and whether Gloves plays. I have a PB of near 1,400,000 that I got last year, but for now I'll be happy to break a million. It's a tough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2013, two people cleared the game and Tom made it all the way to the final battleship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug 4,469 Member · Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I finally broke 1.5 million, but I still don't know if that will be enough to make the top 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the top 5 from 2016, one of the most competitive years in the history of the contests. Fourth place is around that. https://archive.nes.science/nintendoage-forums/nintendoage.com/forum/messageviewd7f2.html?catid=31&threadid=159557 Your score will likely podium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 1,769 Member · Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I haven't even been able to get past level 9 yet. I don't want to post any score until I break a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
