Welcome, welcome everyone to yet another exciting round of the beloved NintendoAge Weekly Contests!
This week our competitors will face an ill famed game, considered by many as a very difficult, unfair one, whereas it is really not.
But I am sure our skilled players will prove my words by putting in incredible scores for Silver Surfer!

Here's the rules they will abide to in order to prevent us having several maxed up scores:
  • 5 Lives Only [No Codes Allowed, No Passwords]
  • Special Rules: Your scoring attempt ends when you either beat the game or lose your Fifth life.
  • Highest score wins
  • Participation: 10,000
  • GENRE: Shooter/Shoot 'Em Up
The contest ends Sunday, 07/28/19 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed 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, slow motion functions, 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.

Remember, others may battle with victory in sight — but the Surfer still strives when all hope is gone!

5 lives seems reasonable. Gotta be careful at the end of each stage because you can sit there and kill enemies as long as you want.

Surfer Kid? How much have you been practicing?

I was curious how the point pressing opportunities would be ruled. 

I been playing a bit here and there im probably 50% familiar with it.

I'll try to get gameplay this week. More interest for me to do it to show minimal point pressing.

If people effing keep farming points at the end of stages, I will effing ban it or make it low score, 1 life only contest so be damn careful and mindful about point farming.

Wooooooooooooowhooooooooo!!!

This should be a showdown folks! We have a prestigious title this week. We have a slew of competitors ready to throw down!

Richard "the ringer" head has teased earlier this year that he may have some surfer prowess.

Californication has been nipping at the heels of the top shooter rankings all season and is the first to post a score.

8-bits the current leader of the regular season who has shown he can play as good as any.

Ti-83 will find time for one run where he will beat the game in one life.

Bert motha f's whaaampson could drop a bomb.

Chairy always has to be considered as a threat to win.

And of course everyone's favorite character the tapeworm will attempt to stay in control of the genre.

What will happen?! Will a surprise contestant or more show up with an unbeatable run?!

Let's do this! Show me your muscles!
