BeaIank | 1,707 Events Team · Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Welcome to the last round of the Action genre in the 2021 VGS NES Weekly Contest, which will define who will claim the title and bring it home! For the Action genre run, we have @Dr. Morbis leading with 28 points, with @PII and @bertsampson tied in 2nd with 23 points. Finally @NESfiend and @mbd39are tied in 4th with 21 points. All of them have the chance to claim the title, despite the big lead Dr. Morbis sports. The rules for this week are as follow: 1 life only Once you die, take your picture death screen, which stays on for a very short time, or wait till you respawn, pause the game and take your picture If you beat the final boss without dying, be quick to take a picture of him dying then pause the game when you respawn at 1-1 It is not allowed to point press at the boss door if you have flying. Once you reach the boss door, you have to go in. Highest score wins Participation: 5,000 points Genre: Arcade Best of luck, gentlemen and gentlewomen. The contest ends Sunday, 10/17/21 at midnight Brasilia 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardhead | 2,925 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) 230,630 I’ve never played this before. Is it a hard game ? Edited October 10, 2021 by Richardhead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a glorified shooter disguised as a caveman action game. It does get very hard in places, but it's more to do with the jumping aspect than anything else...

Dr. Morbis | 2,121 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) It's far from the worst game; it's actually decent if you like memorization. But yeah, modern gamers expecting a game to hold their hand are not going to be happy with this one...

Im just glad that I hit the participation score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad I have to actually try this week to win the genre. If I could just throw up a participation score, I'd have done it already during halftime of the Packers game...

mbd39 | 2,123 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I've always been horrible at this game whenever I've tried to play it on emulator. I'll be happy to get participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,121 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's funny: the beat'em up guys are terrible at shooters and the shooter guys are terrible at beat'em ups. I'll keep this in mind when the tournament rolls around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled with getting participation in RC Pro-Am. And struggled mightily with Bomberman before Bea lowered the participation requirement. I actually loathe the original Bomberman on NES.
