Damn it, I missed this one despite playing all week already! I won't be home before time is up.

Did you beat the game?

I'd been playing this since I was a kid, but only this contest did I finally learn how to beat it.
 
Not yet, but I'm getting very close. I don't recall beating it when I was younger, either. I have a newfound appreciation for the first DD.

It's so buggy it's almost like a hastily released beta version, but it's so much fun. It's one of the best poorly programmed games ever.

Participation prize give-away this week!


I've been given the blessing by Bimmy himself to raffle of this sweet ass Double Dragon poster as a participation prize this week. After the contest ends tonight, I'll assign everyone that participated this week a number and pick a winner using a random number generator. This poster was made by fellow NA member Milligangames and measures 13"x19".

Lol, I'm not THAT desperate to win.

What worries me is that Bearcat uses a specialy modded version with a 8" joystick.

Well, good job probably taking second place, man. I'm not even going to try to lower my score further because my heart can't take any more close calls against the final boss.

Does the poster come with a rectally used NES Advantage too?

There's a good chance that the top five or even top six will all be under 30k by tonight. This blows my mind.

Thats completely up to Bearcat. I think its gonna be tough to pry that one away from him though. At this point, it might be worn down to a nub anyway.

Makes sense. This has been the most interesting contest so far, with a neat little puzzle about how the low scores are possible that we had to figure out. The low score thing transforms a fighting game into a fighting/puzzle game.

I shaved 10000 points from my score, but still can't beat this game, so I'm done for this week.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Alright Score Updated again...


 


Thank you. I was waiting for you to bump me down to sixth. Hopefully no more nasty surprises tonight.

But if you were doing that well without the elbow, you're going to be a beast with the elbow.

I'm still amazed by everyone's performance this week. By next week will we have all 1cc'd "Ghosts n Goblins"? (I doubt it.)

No that was with the elbow (partially) I honestly can't be bothered to keep trying again......I should still be fairly comfy with this score....

If I was starting the first week I would be pretty confident I would be top 3.
