Message: [QUOTE="raskulous, post: 357201, member: 901967"] [B]Quick note for RGT forum members: [/B]I have been running these small high score competitions on another forum for years now, and we've just fired them up again. In interest of getting some more competitors involved for some more fun, I am also posting them here for the RGT folks. That's why this is listed as "Battle #50", but it's the first one this forum has seen. We typically get 3-7 competitors per battle, and I would really like to have double that or more. These are simple competitions for fun, to try and get people playing games and chatting about their high score strategies. That's it.. nothing too serious! Really excited to see what you guys can do! [HR][/HR] [B]RGT HIGH SCORE BATTLE #50![/B] [URL='https://highscor.es'][B]Site is updated![/B][/URL][B] Here’s our current battle details:[/B] [ATTACH type="full" size="700x400"]123047[/ATTACH] [B]BATTLE #50 Game:[/B] Abadox [B]Platform(s):[/B] Nintendo Entertainment System [B]Challenge Type:[/B] High Score [B]Game Details:[/B] Full Game [B]When:[/B] Oct 27th - Nov 9th, 2025 [B]Chosen By:[/B] raskulous I’ve updated the website with the new game, we must destroy Parasitis! Let's play an old-school horror-themed shooter for Halloween! Good luck everyone, please submit your scores via screenshot or video by replying directly to this post! --- [B] RULES[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Competitions last two weeks, and close @ midnight on the final day. [*]Post screenshots in this thread as proof. [*]The winner from the previous competition chooses the next game to play. [*]You cannot choose twice in a row. 2nd place will choose if someone wins twice in a row. [*]If there’s a tie, the person that submitted the high score first gets to choose. [*]Games must be high score compatible (think “arcade style scores” like Pac-Man, or Spy Hunter, not Super Mario). [*]Emulation is okay (MAME is often the best for high scores). [*]No save state manipulation (pausing to take a break is fine though). [*]Submit scores as soon as you get them! To keep the competition rolling and fair, do not hold on until the last moment to submit. [/LIST] Points will be awarded for the entrants, based on the position finished. This is to encourage wider participation, and the points will be posted on the website after each battle is complete. [TABLE width="40%"] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]POSITION[/td][td width="50.2976%"]POINTS AWARDED[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]1st Place[/td][td width="50.2976%"]10 Points[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]2nd Place[/td][td width="50.2976%"]7 Points[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]3rd Place[/td][td width="50.2976%"]5 Points[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]4th Place[/td][td width="50.2976%"]3 Points[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]5th Place[/td][td width="50.2976%"]2 Points[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="49.7024%"]Any honest attempt:[/td][td width="50.2976%"]1 Point[/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] Overall, we should keep it simple. This is just a good time, not a crazy official high score competition! [B]Game plays should ideally be short and fun so people that can’t invest hours into this can still compete.[/B] Obviously we are working on a trust based system here, so don’t ruin it for the others! [URL='https://highscor.es']Here’s a simple website[/URL] I made to keep track of the competition. [automerge]1761683874[/automerge] One quick note about this game: It doesn't seem to have a high score table that shows, and after your game is complete, it disappears. You'll have to take care to catch your high score! I suggest recording with your phone, or screen recording software (if emulating) so you can pull a screenshot of the score. I have a little phone tripod thing that I have used in the past to record CRT gameplay, so I'll set that up and record my attempts. [automerge]1761685426[/automerge] Here’s my first score.. there’s a nasty choke point in stage 2. If you die, trying to get past the 4 shooting things on the wall with no speed is really difficult. 29,200 [ATTACH type="full" size="1920x862"]123069[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
