Well, here's what I'm thinking.
THE RULES- No emulators. This is to keep the integrity of the competition.
- High score photo must be posted.
- Buy in at $2. Winner takes all.
- Once buy-in period closes, that's it. One cannot join in late. This is to prevent those who only buy in after finding out that they have a chance to win.
- Once buy-in period closes, everyone will have 2 weeks to submit their top score.
- Scores posted after closing period will be void. Time stamp on the message used to post the high score shall be used to verify that the score was submitted before closing time.
- Person may submit scores any time before deadline, and multiple times if they bettered their score from a previous try, before the closing of the competition.
And let's just do Gunhed Special on
Super Hucard. For those that don't know this game, it's a 3 or 5 minute time trial, competition-specific version of Gunhed/Blazing Lazers. Some good reasons for choosing this game:
* We won't have to waste time figuring out who has what, and vast majority of players with real PCE/Turbo hardware can compete. Just download the small ISO
here, and you're ready to go!
* Gunhed/Blazing Lazers is a bad-ass shooter in its own right.
* Low learning curve -- only 1 stage, 5 minute option -- relatively evens out the playing field. For your info, I actually don't own Gunhed/Blazing Lazers (though I really should!), and haven't played all that much of the game, so I'm not giving myself an advantage either.
* those without too much time (myself included) are more likely to spend 5 minutes here and there to try to get a good score for the competition.
Last Note:
Buy in via by sending US$2 via paypal to me at wspark.usc(at)gmail.com. Or if folks here want some more established member who's in the pool to manage the money, I'm fine with that as well. The one who manages the money can begin the competition whenever they think that not too many more people are going to join the pool.
I think I covered mostly everything. LET'S GET THIS ROLLING!
