Gotta at least have a possibility of Bert doug final Since I'm up to 108 leaderboard points, I should have a spot locked up. The finals are usually 4-5, so I'm guessing it will happen unless @bertsampson gets eliminated before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Geral and genre scoreboards updated as we close another round of our beloved contest. We are close to the final stint and then it will be TOURNAMENT TIME! Who will raise to the final challenge? How many will be brought in to the slaughterhouse? How mean will Bea be with the games and the tournament cut? What sort of mad system will be picked to run the tournament this year? All questions yet to be answered. But may the gods have mercy upon you! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it for 5 or 10 min when I was looking for fun games to beat for completions thread. It was pretty terrible. I thought it looked fun. Karate kid style duels on the nes looked pretty badass actually. I remember it being something with the controls being strange or unintuitive.

BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Well, joke is on all of you because I love that game on the arcade AND on the NES. SO you will have to suffer through it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,514 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) With Mappy on deck, I'd better get my "I finally cracked the top 10" celebration in. No podiums, but plenty of 4ths to creep my way in including the last 2 weeks. 2 points from the elusive @Jeevanwho has a big advantage this week having played enough mappy to know its apparently an enraging endeavor. Ive only played one screen and am still ignorant enough to think it seems kind of fun. @Richardhead looming one spot behind me is a problem also. He's very well positioned holed up in a cabin in Brackenridge with 2 dogs, a copy of mappy, and plenty of greenery Im sure. I am working all week and am quite jealous thinking about an empty house with an NES and no work to do. I may fall to these bastards this week, but I will get back to the top 10 in September when we get one of my favorite games. @Bearcat-Doug drops second place? Will he return to reclaim the 2 spot? Spoiler alert, he will say he is done until the playoffs, but won't be able to go another week without posting a score now that he is #3....

I love me some Mappy though! Caveman actually really worked as a competition because the events are so short. And you can only try so much if your thumbs are human. It was really easy to pick up for 5 or 10 minutes. One of few weeks I played hard in the competition but played a lot of other games. Even beat tyson for the first time in a couple years. I say more sports compilations starting with California games and ski or die Edited August 17, 2020 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
