Hello and welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
Are you ready for a week of HEAVY labour?
Our contestants will have to test their strength and resistance along with their wits pushing and pulling stuff at Boulder Dash.
Here's the rules for this fun week of entertainment:
  • 1 player only
  • Start on Stage 1-1
  • You must play the stages in order. No skipping around
  • Play until Game Over
  • When you get a Game Over, select End to get your score. You may not select Continue
  • Take your picture on the Title Screen
  • Highest score wins
  • GENRE: Puzzle
The contest ends Sunday, 8/25/19 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.

"No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
Tinha uma pedra
No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra

Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento
Na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas
Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho
Tinha uma pedra
Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra.
"
Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

Ah man I love Boulder Dash! I could probably put up a strong score this week if I were able. Baby is coming this week so there's no time.

You might find this funny. I just went to see if you had reviewed this game and my company's net scanners threw up a red flag. It worked just fine the last time I was reading one of your writeups here at work:

What's up Richard. Looks like some serious fun and great weather. Welcome back. 🖕... Please tell me the middle finger emoji shows up, statement would read incredibly insincere without it.
