That's it for week 7! The week 8 thread can be found here: This was a game I was originally going to allow turbo when I was planning the contest. I wound up just banning turbo for every game though. I wanted to prevent runs from taking too long in these contests so one could make multiple attempts in a short period of time. That's why along with no turbo, all of the rules limit the number of lives that could be used or number of stages that could be played.

I'm probably done with contributing to this thread. I only have a few of the remaining games, but they're not ones that I care to play through anytime soon. If we're going by the win conditions that were added to the OP, you should remove my completions for Bloody Wolf and Pac Land. I only cleared one loop of each.

Yeah, I like it quite a bit. It gets overshadowed by the Crush games, but I think it's one of the better Pinball games of that generation.

That's it for week 3! The week 4 thread can be found here:

I wanted to start this earlier to coincide with the end of the NES contest, but didn't have it ready in time. 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.

About a day left. Anyone give this a try?

You got it!

There's definitely a pinball kinda thing happening here.

Nope. No. It was released in the US, Japan, and Europe.
