I can guarantee we're not going to change the format of the rules. If someone has a score way higher than it should for the phase he's in, we'll act upon it.

I would prefer Tier 2 and 3 to take their pictures right after losing their final life to see in which phase they got their Game Over.

RULES UPDATED FOR TIER 2 & 3

For tier 1, if you take a pic immediately after dying (while on the platform) you can see phase and lives remaining

My cartridge only shows what phase during puase. No matter when I puase it never shows lives remaining.

He means you can take a pic when you're standing on the small platform right after losing a life.

I just tried this and almost succeeded in losing my score because I forgot to include my name. Thank goodness I had left the game on so I could get another pic.

It's not required by the rules, at least not yet, but It's nice if you want to show lives remaining. I recommend pausing while on the platform while getting ready to take a picture because you have a limited time on there, and then unpause and snap.

I think this is a challenging game. I've been grinding for days and the best I've done is a little over 90k.

Okay...... Since I've made it to phase 12, I should be able to make it to phase 13 and get over 100k. We'll see. But man, one little screw up and start over from the beginning.

I'm such a moron. I didn't take a pic because I thought my score was 6k below my best. Turns out it 34k above it. Oh well.

You're probably kicking ass at this. You got first place at QBert and this is nothing compared to QBert.

I'll be happy to get over 100k. I'm just terrible at arcade. I think Pinball was the only arcade game where I managed to place in the weekly contests , lol.

Getting 500k under tier 1 conditions would be impressive. The game starts getting challenging for me by phase 5, and then harder once the icebergs start appearing. So many ways to screw up and die.

1. Ow... I need lots of coffee and find out what hit my yesterday night. My poor head. x.x
2. How the heck did I score that many points?
3. Time to scout around, find the damage drunk me did and try to repair it. Bloody drunk me always hurting my reputation of a good girl.

Serious question, have you made it through house of leaves...? It's one I really want to finish, but I've never made it through it despite 3 serious attempts.


No. I got bored with it after a while.

So you rose from the depths of tier 2 just to have me bury you again? Should have declined the spot and gone home and visited your nuts while your wife was away!

So just for fun, I fired up the emulator and gave Mario Bros a shot!

Under Tier 1 rules, I got 214,050 (Phase 25) on my 3rd attempt. The first two were not very good, haha.

I think that's a pretty good bar for the actual Tier 1 competitors to shoot for!

Good luck everyone!

The 2016 contest icons are on the awards list already, so I guess that they're done.
 

All 2016 genre and tournament icons are done and have been submitted to a site moderator for inclusion into the database.

Very doable! Every run that I get over 100k I always die on some stupid mistake that is all on me😁
