If you die after SYD x 1 you get a game over. It is your fucking last life.

Because we are doing Famicom games to spice things up this year!

I am sparing all the kindness I have now to make you all feel cozy and joyful. Battletoads is coming.

I could also have allowed for 3 loops on a 1LC rule set. But I decided to be kind.

Glad someone noticed! I was feeling like I was among a bunch of Gen Zers here!

You can't get to SYD X 1 more than once because once you reach your last life, your run is DONE! The runes are really clear about this: Once you reach SYD x 1 lives, pause the game at the start of the stage and take your picture You are not allowed to play your last life. You must pause the game, take your picture and end your run. So, if you get extra lives before you reach your last life, you can burn them at your leisure, earn more of them and keep burning... as long as you don't reach your last life. Once you get to SYD x 1, YOU ARE DONE!

Current standings posted. Right now we have a 9 person tie for 1st place, so they are each only getting 7 points because people whined about me changing the rules to count remaining lives. I will remember that and will have NO MERCY with the rules from now on. Y'all got what you sowed.

You know they weren't.

Will do.

They really need to step up. Those scores so far are cry worthy!

It is meant to be.

The official loop comes after Area 12. Beat area 12, your run is over.

The thread for the game you will be playing next week, which will be conveniently posted... next week!

POW is a quite fun, relaxed game. Perfect to be played on the last round of the contest when people are already in cruise mode. I promise you will love Battletoads even more after you read the rules I have waiting for you all.

Schedule update. Since Battletoads rules will be so brutal this year, I swapped around P.O.W. and Battletoads in order to force people to put effort on it. Battletoads will now take place at the end of May. The rule set for it will posted in Quarth's contest thread to give time to our players to practice and get used to the rule set.

Added this rule to the first post.

That counts as playing the same stage more than once. Still, added a rule that picking the R power up ends your run.

Amended the rules to specify that you can only play each stage ONCE!

Something akin to that is on the planned rules. Not as extreme, though.

10,000. 100,000 would require people to play halfway through the 1st loop.

Welcome brave warriors and brace yourselves for this week we reach the unreachable final frontier! Our skilled players will have to prove their worth by conquering SPACE! So ready your ships, players, load your weapons and set off at light speed! This week, you will all have to master ALPHA MISSION! Here's the rules you will abide to: Play till your last life or till you loop the game once. Once you reach SYD x 1 lives, pause the game at the start of the stage and take your picture You are not allowed to play your last life. You must pause the game, take your picture and end your run. Refer to the following line should you loop the game before you reach SYD x 1 lives ONE shall be the number thou shalt loop, and the number of the looping shall be one. Two shalt thou not loop, neither loop thou zero, excepting that thou then proceed to one. Thirteen is right out. Once the number one, being the first number, be reached, pause thy game and take thy picture. Thou run ends there. So, your run ends after you beat area 12. Should thou play a stage more than once, thou score shall be snuff out by the holy hand grenade and thus deemed invalid. If you pick the R power up, your run ends there. You must use missiles to kill the final boss. No point pressing on him allowed. JUST USE MISSILES AT HIM! You can reset a boss fight by going into the special ships selection screen. Don't use this glitch to fight a boss more than once. If you accidentally reset a boss fight after beating him once, your run is over. Thou must kill a boss only once Thou art forbidden to point press on the 6th boss. If thou point press there, I shall release The Beast of Caerbannog upon thee.
