Dr. Morbis | 2,125 Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 (edited) If you're willing to take some constructive criticism, I feel like you started this contest way too early, as many people are/were still in the midst of their holiday shenanigans in the first week of January; it would have been better if you had started in maybe the third week of January when everyone's day to day lives have gotten back to normal. Anyway, I said I would participate if you did TG games, so here I am . You didn't specify in the rules if this was a one life contest or if we were supposed to burn our lives to maximize our score, so I erred on the side of caution and this is what I ended up with after killing every enemy on 1-1 on a single life (including a trip back to the start to see if any of them respawn; answer: they don't)... 1,300 Edited January 8, 2024 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14181-turbografx-16-weekly-contest-round-1-bonks-adventure/#findComment-391693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized that the New Year's Eve start date may not have been ideal, but I didn't want to start so late that it would be still running when the NES contest starts up again. As far as I could tell, having a one life rule wouldn't make much of a difference. Enemies don't respawn when you lose a life and I'd assume anyone participating in this contest is an experienced enough player that having to stay alive in the first area wouldn't add a significant challenge.
