BeaIank | 1,674 Events Team · Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Welcome to THE VERY LAST weekly contest game for this season! And what a fitting finale right before our most expected tournament! This week, our players have it easy, having to compete for high score on the easiest NES game ever conceived, GHOSTS 'N GOBLINS! Without further ado, here's the SPOOKY rules for this not at all spooky game: Play until Game Over You must power up your NES before each of your run to reset the drop pattern correctly. You may collect each 1-up only once. In the second loop of the game, you will be allowed to collect each 1-up one time as well. Looping from stage 6 to stage 5 by not having the shield is forbidden Highest score wins Participation: 5,000 GENRE: Action The tournament details will be made public during the course of the next two weeks. Players, be prepared! The contest ends Sunday, 10/25/20 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need the points. I'm ready for the tournament and to be done already. Not to be a downer, but I'm not in the greatest place right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that it doesn't cut into tournament time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,085 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'm still recovering from a nasty eye ulcer/infection that I got over a week ago. I should've been wearing goggles when pruning that bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,116 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'll have to run through this in the morning. I guess we take our score picture on the title screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardhead | 2,925 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 So we play the game and take a picture to prove our score? Just making sure I’m reading the rules correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the score shaming threshold this week? 700k? Anyone that can't hit that should be embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
