There will be 3 challenges to compete in.  Enter as many as you'd like.

Challenge 1:  Fastest Tyson Knockdown
This will involve the first time you knock Tyson to the mat.  Tyson should be shown either on his way down, or on the ground, or getting back up.

Challenge 2:  Highest Tyson Score
What is the highest points you can accumulate against Tyson?  It takes 5000 points to win by decision, so the record holders should be quite a bit higher than that.

Challenge 3:  King Hippo Knockout
How fast can you defeat King Hippo?



Contest Rules:
Capture the entire television with your name in the picture (similar to NWC challenge)
Play on a real NES
No game genie allowed
This challenge is planned to be open until Sunday, August 12.
I don't know of any prizes yet, but if there is, it will likely be 1 prize which is decided by point accumulation from all 3 challenges.  (i.e. 1st place  gives +5, 2nd place gives +4, etc)

Ok, I'll start by setting the bar low for everyone.  I think I used to be better at this.  The hardest part of this contest is scrambling to take the pictures at just the right moment.  My camera kept autoshutting off between pictures

Down at 2:54 Rd 1

Decision score 5980...almost had another knockout

These shouldn't be too hard to beat.  On another note, I was happy to see that I actually remembered the Tyson code without looking it up...only code I can recall aside from Contra 30.

Pictures are fixed - you can now post them in this thread.  Dain found that the default setting is to Not allow attachments in new threads.


Braveheart, can you post your King Hippo picture now?

Actually, that's why I added the Hippo challenge..in case there were people out there with little Tyson experience.

You should really get this one, it's such a blast, and probably found in every Top 10 NES list out there.

I may be able to do better on total score, but not real sure on the other 2.

Not sure why more people aren't joining in the challenge, so I'm looking for feedback.

Personally, I've been using my NES time for trying to improve on my NWC scores.  Are there other people out there with the same dilemma?

Are there any changes I could make to get more people into it?  There are plenty of boxers to add Time challenges.

Would a guaranteed prize be enough to get more people involved?
