Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests.  This week's game is going to be Ninja Gaiden.  Here are the rules:

  • Play until you reach your last life (life 0).  Once you get to "life 0," you must stop playing and take a picture of your score.
  • Farming for extra lives is not allowed.
  • You can only get each hidden extra life in the game once.  If you die in an area with a hidden extra life, you can't collect t twice.
  • If you beat the game and have extra lives remaining, add 1,000 points for each extra life you have left.
  • Highest score wins.
  • GENRE: Action/Platformer


The contest ends Sunday, 4/7/13 at 10 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST 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.  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.  Good luck everyone and have fun

Is there any kind of a bonus if you beat the game and still have lives left?

I literally had to scrub the dust off my cart and give it a good cleaning just to get it to work. Hopefully it's good to go!

I will add in a bonus for this and make an addition to the rules.  Add 1,000 points to your score for each extra life you have left if you beat the game.  If you're on life "1," add 1,000 points to your score.  If you're on life "2," add 2,000 points to your score. etc etc etc.

How about beating the game blindfolded with extra lives? Or just using one arm?  Or standing on your head blindfolded playing with one arm while getting a tattoo?

LOL, good one!

I haven't played this in two decades, so I'll probably be getting a big 'ol participation point.

If I didn't already have full sleeve tattoos on both arms I'd almost be tempted to try that.

Only if you do that crazy thing gutsman004 mentioned above about standing on your head blind-folded and beating Ninja Gaiden in one life with only one hand while getting a tattoo

Yes.  And you have to pull your shirt over your head like the Great Cornholio

scoring is going to be weird on this one. enemies respawn so fast and you can harvest points like crazy. if i make a video, can it be direct capture or would have to physically see me playing? i don't use emulators. i record off a console and split the signal into a tv and a computer.

If you make a video, you don't have to record yourself physically playing the game.  Getting a picture should be easy because as soon as you reach life "0," all you have to do is take your picture.
