BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hello and WELCOME to another puzzling week of our beloved weekly contest! This week, our competitors will exercise their brains trying to unfold the mysterious puzzles of Puzznic!!! Here's the rules they will follow to secure their scores and try to get the Puzznic laurels: Play Puzznic Mode Play until Game Over You must start the game at level 1-1 Highest score wins GENRE: Puzzle The contest ends Sunday, 05/31/20 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun. “Nothing whets the intelligence more than a passionate suspicion, nothing develops all the faculties of an immature mind more than a trail running away into the dark.”, Zweig, Stefan - 1940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care for puzzles, but this is a fun game. I actually do okay at the arcade style puzzle games like this, Klax, Palamedes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going back to part time status for the rest of the season since most of the games I'm good at were in the first half, but actually I'm not too bad at Tetris.

If you're already pretty good then you should do okay. The thing about Tetris is that it takes A LOT of practice to get decent. It's not the kind of game that can be learned in a week. So there's a definite advantage for experienced players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play with a friend of mine from work that loved Tetris so I got pretty good. Not as good as the Tetris champions, but probably top 8 good.

I'm hoping I get time for the Mario Bros. contest in two weeks. I've won all three of the black box game contests this season, so I might as well try to go 4 for 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
