GENERAL CONTEST RULES:

-Contest is open to all members of Video Game Sage.

Your Video Game Sage user name MUST be in the picture or the score will be invalid.

- Previously obtained scores are not acceptable as submissions.  You must play the game during the week it has been selected.

- If you are posting an updated score, please create a new post with your new score and delete the picture from your previous post with the old score.  You may also edit your initial post with the new photo and score.

- It is highly encouraged to play with original software on original hardware, if possible.  NTSC only.  No PAL.

- This is a contest of skill, so using any sort of device or feature that would give you an advantage over another player is prohibited.   Examples include, but not limited to, cheat devices, save states, altered ROMs, and remapped controllers.  If turbo functions are permitted, t will be specified in the contest thread.  The use of glitches to alter your score is also not allowed.  Any other glitches will be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not they will be permitted.  Any glitches discovered by participants must be reported and approved for use before submitting a score using them.

- Although not required, I would encourage participants not to practice a game in advance.

- Have fun!
