Played great up to backwood 6. Lost a lot of dumb lives and died in a dumb place. Like I said, one and done for me this week then I’m out the rest of the season. I didn’t try too hard, kinda gets old putting in lots of effort just to be rekt by the same people over and over. Time to let the big dogs duke it out. I’ve got lots going on the rest of the year anyhow. Congrats on your score though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that I can make it back by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha you're too nice - but you hold onto that. I wouldn't get it in time for the contest anyway. Next season I'll be sure to stock up on the games that look worth playing. -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id recommend a flash cart. You can load every game on preseason and not have to worry about it. And still throw up participation scores the weeks you dont like the games enough to buy them edit: but you should take rich up on the offer. It's a great game with or without a contest Edited September 13, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great game with or without a contest I appreciate the advice, but I don't download ROMs. The only ROM files I play are dumped from my own carts. It's an ethical thing that I know a lot of people don't care about, but I like to stick to it. Plus, it makes me appreciate the games I have even more, and adds incentive to building a high-quality collection. -CasualCart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,514 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Is a game over screen an acceptable submission? I thought I had another life and missed the photo with zero lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) 284772 Finally a mistake free run. I think I made it to backwoods 6 without losing any points. I did lose a couple trick points there but this score is probably only a few hundred points from being optimal (unless there is something I don't know about which is totally possible). 207048 Had a couple accidental deaths, but a decent first run. I also forgot that there is no life 0 so I game overed instead of finishing the loop. Edited September 20, 2020 by 0xDEAFC0DE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also forgot that there is no life 0 so I game overed instead of finishing the loop. There is a life 0, but it depends on how you die when you have 1. For example, falling through a big hole on backwood 6 with 1 life gives a game over. Falling on the mogle part, however, takes you from 1 to 0 and you continue the level. Score updated page 1 to 253k. Lost one dumb life. Burned pretty perfectly down to 1. Should have played to zero, but I wanted the trophy so I stayed safe. Don't have much more game time this week (this was actually my only run of the night!), so hopefully this one stays up there a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicies | 6 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Here’s what I got. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is wondering where this ringer came from out of the blue, I have the answer. In what may be the dumbest move in the history of the weekly contests, I pulled an @Jeevan and brought in a ringer the one week I have a chance at winning. Nicies is my partners little brother and he works at my firm. He's a hard-core modern gamer in the top 1% of all players on games like league of legends, fortnight, or whatever else is all over twitch. I am always talking shit and saying he couldn't hang in NES contests. Gave him some basic strategy stuff to cut down his practice time. Yeah, he cracked it in a week or two's time. I spent weeks getting this good. Heavy shreddin is no longer allowed at work since he beat me. He won't give up his precious league of legends time at home, so he's probably in for the week. Hoping he will come back to the weeklys here and there, but Id call it doubtful Edited September 15, 2020 by NESfiend 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
