I am just a bit sad that there is no way I will be getting an action/platformer icon this year.
I'd rather kiss a man than play Mario 3, I hate Star Tropics and I am completely terrible at Contra, even though I find it fun to play. Alas.
I've never played Star Tropics. I thought it was an RPG so it's weird to see it appear as a contest game.
I'm okay at Contra. I beat it without the 30 man code for the first time not too long ago. It's still incredibly fun. I don't own it, but I should get the cart. It's Super C that I'm terrible at.
By the time I reach the second world in SMB3 I've had enough. I like the original Super Mario Bros the best. But the weekly contest might give me the incentive to get good at it.

I could play as Peach on SMB2 and was a really, REALLY happy lass, and there were no cute goombas I had to step on.
Then comes SMB3 and removes my ability to play as Peach and bring back cute goombas and force me to stomp them. :'(
And finally comes SMW that did everything so much better than SMB3 and replaced cute goombas with some monstruosity I don't care stomping.
So, no, I ain't touching SMB3 no matter what.
As for Contra, I could beat it with the original alotment of lives, but I could never no-death it since I am a pretty terrible player, and definitely never tried to play it for points. Don't think I can.
So no chance for a shiny platformer badge for me this year. Alas.

At least there's another billiards game this year. I guess Lunar Pool was so popular that they had to give us another one, haha.

Side pocket has a lot more factors in it's engine and in it's physic's calculations, so it won't be as easy to break as Lunar Pool.
Not that will stop me, of course. I have beaten the SNES version last year and might just as well get pen, paper and my handy calculator to break it open on the NES.

I got my Lunar Pool score from hours of trial and error, but it was exhausting. I don't know if I'll try as hard with Side Pocket.

Since there are absolutely no games I care to play during August, I will just use the month to break Side Pocket open, bend it to my will then post a max possible score on day one for it and possible the formulas if people care to work their physics and math skills.
Or this will be a good time for them to reconsider having Side Pocket there and replace it with another game.
I am aiming to have more top 8 finishes than last year.
I'm not going to miss a single week even when I take my vacation in July. I might have to find someone else's house to break into but most of all I'll be looking to break in my avs!
I've been practicing Target Renegade. I'd never played it before. It's a hoot in a cheesy sort of way. It is a very basic beat em up. Fight the same enemies over and over with a limited set of punches and kicks. Picking up items and health is needlessly difficult. You have to press down plus punch at just the right spot, ugh. Why not just press punch? Why is there a separate move for reaching down and picking up stuff??
I made it to the third boss but I couldn't even damage him. I looked it up and turns out you have to use punches as if that makes sense. Damn.
I am not keen on Battletoads/Double Dragon. It is not a good Battletoads nor a good Double Dragon game.
I've never played it so I don't know how bad it is. From what I've seen it looks more like the Battletoads game that most people would have wanted, with more focus on the beat em up aspect. But I'm glad that we got the original Battletoads that we got.
Thank again for running this guys. This will give me an excuse to play games I've never gotten around to trying before (Guardian Legend, Life Force, Kickle Cubicle, etc), stuff I've criminally only played a time or two (Double Dragon II, Contra), and a reason to pick up stuff I never got around to buying
Our pleasure my good Brock!
Some of the games you mention here are absolute NES classics. You should feel embarrassed about it, I'm glad the contest will fix that for you!
guardian legend is NOT a shoot em up. its like a fucked up wanabe crystalis. i dont even know how to get out of the first "action?" stage.
You're talking out of your ass here skinny, you gotta do your homework
its ironic, i just gave this game another try begining of the week (sold a copy here on na).
the first time i played this game i beat the first shoot em stage. when it got to the next part of the game, a bunch of text something sbout activating self desrtuct keys, reactor wtf idk. zelda type over head exploring wtf am i playing? i just could do it.
so, like i said, i give it another shot. this time good attitude , this gane is gonna be good, yada yada. nope. same thing, i get as far as buying some upgrade weapons in the (activate self destruct stage) and couldnt take it.
ill definatley be playing the crap put of it in order to defend my title but it aint no twin cobra

I'm gonna watch The Wizard tonight tongwt pumped about SMB 3!
im winning that this year.
guardian legend is NOT a shoot em up. its like a fucked up wanabe crystalis. i dont even know how to get out of the first "action?" stage.
star force plays pretty nice.
no idea what def 2 is.
life force....
im still taking the belt again this year. true back to back shoot em up champ. your favorite player.
No way am I paying the big bucks for Felix the Cat and Battletoads/Double Dragon though... no matter how much I love the original Battletoads.
Stupid Richard probably will though.
Waaah, Palamedes isn't a shooter. Guardian Legend isn't a shooter. I don't even know what a Dofonder 2 is
hey sandafloor try to get a win in a real title this year
I made it to the third boss but I couldn't even damage him. I looked it up and turns out you have to use punches as if that makes sense. Damn.

This game will be just a wee bit more difficult to break than Lunar Pool.
But fret not! I will post some of the vector mathematics so you lads can figure the rest out!
