I know that this is the last round, but can I still participate? I have the Japanese cartridge lying around here and was wondering whether the Japanese version would be eligible as well?

yes you can participate.. I'm pretty sure they use ntsc in Japan so you might be ok with that cart, but will need further confirmation.

You might be allowed to play the Famicom version if it's the exact same game. Sometimes there are differences.

Surprisingly, no!   
  • At least once a mod accidentally banned himself.
  • One also ended up banned when he tried to ban Dain on April Fools
  • and then one ended up banned for realz (well after he was done being a mod) for horribly slow shipping.

Lol. Cap'n always schooling me my NA history. Thanks man.




Anyone else smell chapstick?

Pretty sure there's no difference with this game. This guy backs me up (asterisks are by games that have differences.)

If the game is exactly the same as the NTSC version, with only the text changed, then it is okay to use it to play in the contest.

I have looked around a bit and it seems like the main differences are just the story and the title screen, see here https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Hec... and here https://retro-video-gaming.com/20...
So if it acceptable, I would like to post my score.
(btw. how do I insert a picture into my post instead of just attaching it?)

Current score: 892.500
Too bad that I missed the magic 900.000 mark.

That is acceptable, yes.
Your score will be counted for this week.

You need an image host like imgur, and then just use img tags.

I'll make fifth place on the main leaderboard no matter how I do this week so I'll be happy with whatever I get.

I'm amazed by people who can get high scores in this game. There's too much going on and it kills my hands.

In an update on how rich is doing :

Today at work he left the credit card reader beeping after a transaction was processed. Beep Beep Beep. When I stopped the machine. He flew into a tizzy. Said he was listening to that. Preceded to turn the radio off. Even though I enjoy the silence. Then began making a point about talking loudly and Excessively. While he was in the cooler stocking booze the radio was turned back on. He turned it back off when he reappeared later. Next the tv was turned on. He turned that off too. Then when the radio was turned back on he left it alone until I began to whistle along to the song. He turned it off again and left shortly after. So he's doing just fine. Normal.

We love you superjimtendo. You should leave the card machine beeping after every transaction next time rich is there  

You know I'm on the cusp of Virgo/libra. I'm a real softie.
