Stray Sheep is correct. It's an adventure game with a bunch of mini games throughout. Decent game, but not great. The mini games weren't very good, but I liked the atmosphere.

At this point, I'll just post the whole screenshot and see if anyone gets it from that. I'll reveal the answer tomorrow if no one gets it.

No correct guesses yet. It is a PlayStation 1 game. It's not a Christmas themed game. You just visit Santa at one point. It's also exclusive to Japan.

This might be a tough one:

I probably would have gotten it with that. I've never played the game, but I'm familiar with it and it has a very distinct style.

I wound up starting work on a TurboGrafx-16 contest, which will most likely start this weekend. Part of me wants to throw it all out though and try doing the genre specific contest instead. I guess we'll find out in a few days. When I was looking for a PC game to use last year, I found several good, free options. I'm not ready to put something like that together now, but I'd like to it in the future. If I ever do a Nintendo 64 contest again, I would like to bring Ucchannanchan no Hono no Challenger: Denryu Iraira Bo back. If I ever do a PS1 contest, it would be very unlikely that Irritating Stick would not be included. I thought about doing Jaguar, but wasn't ready to delve into its library. Neo Geo Pocket could be fun. I'll have to look into that one. ...It's starting to feel like I'm trying to plan these years in advance now.

Looks like Little Big Adventure.

I beat this in August. Not sure if @RetroMichel just missed it or because I wasn't sure if one loop would count. Dd you try the second loop? I made a few attempts, but it seemed like the fourth stage was either impossible or required a lot of luck. I didn't want to keep playing over and over to find out.

Any thoughts on this? Gonna tag everyone who participated last year. @Splain@BlackVega@Dr. Morbis@nesmaster14@NESfiend@Krunch@T-Pac

I may not be a frequent poster, but I've been around. I think I may have maxed out the score because I think I saved everyone it's possible to save. A bunch of them on the last three stages are almost immediately hit by monsters and I don't see a way to steer the monsters away from them. Funny, I didn't really think about saving everyone when playing the full game (which I only got around to beating last October). Since the number of extra lives maxes out, I didn't bother when I had a full set of lives. I was more focused on getting to the end than getting a high score.

29,000 I think I'm done. I don't see a way to get any more points than this. @SoleGoose, what's the highest possible score for the demo?

It's the time of the year when I start thinking about running another one of these contests. I've been running 10 week off-season contests for the past six years and I'm looking to do a seventh. Most years revolved around a single console (Sega Master System, Game Boy, Virtual Boy, Nintendo 64), but last year I did a multi console contest where each week a game from a different console and different genre would be played. I was considering doing that again this year. Another idea would be having a genre specific contest. Maybe shooing, racing, or pinball? If I were do do a console specific one again, I think I'd lean towards doing TurboGrafx-16. Also considering a PC only contest where all the games would be free downloads. Thoughts?

I'm intrigued by the mystery prize. I'll be sure to post a score before this ends.

I'll claim the one I requested, the flutist from Dragon Warrior IV. Thanks. These threads are always fun to follow.

Starting to add prices.

Lots of games now available.

It's a tough choice for me. My top four choices for N64 probably beats anything on PS1, but there's maybe 20+ PS1 games that would beat out anything else on N64. Top 5 would go to N64, no contest. Top 10 I think I'd have to go with PS1 since I can't come up with 10 N64 games that I think are exceptional. For N64, there's a four way tie for first. I couldn't choose one. Everything else is in no particular order. 1. Super Mario 64 1. Wave Race 64 1. Mario Kart 64 1. Star Fox 64 Sin and Punishment Super Smash Bros Pokemon Snap Hybrid Heaven Uchan Nanchan no Hono no Challenge Denryu Ira Ira Bo Pilotwings 64 PS1 is in no particular order. Final Fantasy Tactics Silhouette Mirage Brigandine Grand Edition Dance Dance Revolution Final Fantasy VII Parasite Eve Lunar Silver Star Story Complete Xenogears Persona 2 Eternal Punishment Chrono Cross

Here are a few ideas: Luca, a minor character from Final Fantasy IV: A flutist from Dragon Warrior IV: This guy from Monster Party: This thing from Metroid II:

Lot still available. Lowered the price and added an extra game.

That's it!

Not that.

A bit more: It doesn't appear to have been, but it was suggested at one point.
