Well, as many know this is my favorite game.  What got me hooked on NA, and also TwinGalaxies. 

So that said, last time we had a comp on this game, it was a huge turnout and alot of fun.

Since I'm so nuts about the game, got a bunch of extra's laying around, thought I'd generate more interest by offering some prizes of stuff I have to get rid of, plus a few bounties..    So here goes the rundown.

1. To First place Finisher, official Arcade Flyer, and a your choice of either a famicom cart of 1943, or an oval seal NA Cart, which is a bit harder to find than the round seal.  Est. Value = $40

2. Capcom Classics Collection for PS2.  Has Arcade version of 1942, and 1943, as well as several other classics like Street Fighter and Black Tiger.  Est. Value $10

Also, two bounties for all place finishers.

1. Anyone who no-deaths the game, $25 gift card to a local game shop in your area. ( Limited to first 5.)

2.  First person to 100% level 11 gets $50 gift cash.  (must provide video evidence).

Have fun, good luck!

Is anybody's fingers bleeding yet?

Ok I got a much better score after finding out you can charge your gun just now. 131,700

Perhaps you are pressing the buttons too hard Andy?

Hell ya! I got nintendo thumbs withing 4 games. It is all that sliding back and forth that is doing it for me...
Definetly worth it.

Nice video I have just spent the last few hours trying to top my Marble Madness high score.  So far only have got to 123,000 I keep messing up on the last level going for the goal.

Andy.... We playin 1943 this Week.

Attempt 2 same as the first stinkin one.

Attempt 3 first shot out of Totaku! Ugg!!!! Was no where near my high anyway, lol. That's the worst spot to die though :\

I know we playing 1943 but I just can't stop playing madness ither.  It's like a adiction.  I need that 174,000 score

I had no idea there was an oval seal varient. The cart I have has it too!
Learn more than just to play a game at these contest.
Thanks for making more collection worth another $. 

The flyer and famicom cart is worth around 40 combined.

The Oval seal American cart Maybe a dollar more than your average cart.

Sorry I can def see the confusion from my post, probably could be worded better.

Hey, a dollar is a dollar, right?

You got a point there


Fun fact is there is no oval seal box though. They would have been packed in a normal box.

Then again I don't think I have seen a mixed CIB. I do have an oval manual though.

1,402,400



I'm coming for that #1 spot! Ohoh... just kidding. This was my fourth and most likely last try. Good game!

Just a quick note to everyone to check the first post in the thread for some 1943 related prizes that JD is going to be giving away this week for the contest. Thanks JD for your generosity

Thanks JD

Maybe that will motivate you to put those darn Marbles aside until next monday at least

Actually MM is one of my faves too, but I haven't played it since my teens.  One of the very few I beat, as a rental.  Use to rent the poop out of it. 

Edit:  Mission numero uno Accomplished on attempt 5,  first No death run.   Still not fully up to speed, have alot of point pressing things I need to remember how to do.

236600

FREDOCHE 899,800

2 833 200 !!!

1 credit clear, video turned out much worse then expected but score is still visible if you pause it. had insane nerves obviously.



EDIT:

Also had 96% on stage 11, I dont believe i missed a single ship that stage is there a time goal on it?

Very Nice score Alex!

First no death so far!


Edit, ha, almost gave me motion sickness there!


Yeah, no final score is displayed! ....that's why I warned everyone ahead of time, would stink to beat it, then have nothing to show for it

I remember reading some of your comments on 1943 at nesforums, so I thought you'd do a good job!   Very impressive score for only Wednesday! 

Something tells me you gonna hate level 23 then

Nice score Fred!

Awesome, way to go dude

I've never played this game before, but it is AWESOME and I am having a blast so far.

Very generous of you to contribute the prizes JD!

EDIT: Better score below.
