4. Actual, physical, valuable prizes for the three gamers who complete the most games.
As far as the most games, that is an unfair comparison because you can't say my beating Fisher Price: I Can Remember (which took me 20 minutes today) is equivalent to someone beating L'Empereur.
To do it fairly, the games would have to be assigned difficulty.
But even then, there would be arguments about which games are more difficult because what's difficult for you might not be for me.

What would be cool is if we just had a competition, who can beat the most games in a year, like where I could beat a game, and you could beat the same game too if you wanted.  That would be a fair contest.

 


I say keep the contests to the Weekly Contest thread.


Agreed. This was more of a community challenge than a competition and I hope it stays that way......... even though I'm gonna pound nightowljrm into the ground again this year!!!!!!

Well yeah, I was just being hypothetical... it would be cool to see such a contest between maybe two dedicated individuals.
I can't help but notice that crabmaster is currently way behind me, but hey it's not a competition!
 


Give him another day or two to get going
I'm a late bloomer..... plus you jerks knocked off half the library in one day!!

Now, for 2013, let's add some rules:

1. Cannot play the game on an emulator; must be on real hardware.
2. No repros or flash carts; only real games!
3. Victor must post picture of winning screen for proof (Ninja Gaiden, I'm looking at you)
4. Actual, physical, valuable prizes for the three gamers who complete the most games.


Those rules kind of suck man.

1. That disallows anyone who doesn't own some of the more expensive games from playing them.  The point is to try new games, not force people to spend more money to get the games to play for the list.
2. See #1.
3. Some of us don't own cameras, or simply don't want to spend the time taking pictures of the ending to, say, Fisher Price: Perfect Fit.  It falls into the same category as #1...we want to encourage people to play games they wouldn't think to play, not make them go out and spend money on a camera to contribute.
4. This was something I actually considered when I was running the thread, but ultimately it's not a contest.  There's no reward for finishing because it's a community effort.  The reward is the journey.  Whether you finish one new game or one hundred, beating new games is it's own reward. The points are just to show who has contributed, and how many titles they chipped away at to help out. 

In the 2013 thread, you'll see that there's been enough incentive provided to knock off an absolute shitton of games right from day one.  This whole thing is just for fun, let's keep it that way by a) keeping it open for as many people as possible to contribute to, and b) keep it about the games and not about what you can get for helping out.  ]]> Can NA Beat Every NES Game In A Year - 2012 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=61651 2013-01-02T01:15:14 -05.00 scaryice 1934 Originally posted by: DoctorDan
