Red | 434 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I've suggested this one before, but I think Ghostbusters II would work as long as a rule is made to prevent a one-up loop in the first driving stage. If you want to do The Guardian Legend again, there is a way to make it work as a high score competition. When you use the TGL code, it shows a score between stages, but this score isn't the same as the one shown while you're playing. It disregards any points you receive during the boss battles. There are a few problems with this though. You can only see this score between stages, so you'll have to keep taking new pictures as you play. It doesn't stay up very long either. The last time it shows up is at the end of Area 10, so the last two areas would have to be excluded. Xexyz might be a good choice. Like The Guardian Legend, there's a password that lets you just play the shooting stages. Although, it has been a while since I've played, so I don't remember if you could point press at the bosses. Tiny Toon Adventures might work as well. Have you ever considered adding Famicom games? I'm guessing you'd want to keep things accessible to people who play with real software/hardware, but adapters aren't very expensive and you could choose cheap games like Atlantis No Nazo or Pooyan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famicom Mappy would be great for the contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two different games : Mappy Land : Mappy : They both have some similarities in Gameplay, but Mappy is more old school arcade in overall.

docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 @Red you gonna play again champ! You are one of the best around. @guillavoie I didn’t care for TGL but once I played it I was a fan by the end of the week. Would love to play for high score. Although the last couple stages are really fun so it would be a bummer to miss out on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaden | 151 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'd be up for Famicom stuff. A lot of the early Namco ports like Galaxian, Dig Dug, and Mappy could make for good contests. And they're all great games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,116 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If we're throwing Famicom into the ring I want Cocoron and since I just got a copy of mystery of comvoy I want that one too. Fuck the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say that I took good note of what Red said about the possibility of a high-score contest with it! I'm still amazed to learn those funky ways developer tried to make high-score possible in games. That is definitely on par to me with the reverse low-score system of Star Tropics.

arnpoly | 198 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 A Famicom contest would get me to play again. Just sayin'. We were going through some old games the other day and my daughter has become kind of obsessed with Mappy. Just a strange coincidence it has been mentioned here. Anyway I'm getting pretty decent at it now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
