Thank you bimmy_lee and guillavoie
I think both guys need a shout out for running the contest, this time for an entire year. I don't think I'm just speaking for myself when I say that was some of the most fun I've ever had playing video games*. They've said this was the best contest ever, and I believe them. Here's to 2017 being even better.
And shout outs to bert and skinny for being tough as shit competition, who forced me to kill myself into the wee hours of the night every week
And lastly, Santa, for being awesome, and everyone's favorite cheerleader for everyone.
I'll collect my thoughts later and rank the 33 competitions too. Because I'm a numbers and lists guy.
*Ironsword aside. That game can die

You guys did a great job this year!
I had a blast with the few games I participated in.
Bimmy, guillavoie THANK YOU!
2017 I'm taking gold. Wanabees
Six of us beat the "world record" that week.
Once again I apologize for my fuck up during the first week of the tournament and not being able to compete....I felt like shit about it but I had a lot going on in life that week and couldn't do it.
I can't wait until 2017, now that I can play the whole year through I might as well go for 1st
You guys did really great, I didn't participate in to many but the one week I did was one of my favorite times playing an NES game.

I dare you!
For those who won prizes in the tournament, I will get a picture posted soon so you can see what you won. I hope everyone will enjoy their prizes. I will hold the elimination prize drawing a little bit later just in case some people concede prizes and what not.

Double dare you!
Thank you all for taking part on this and Bimmy and Guil for hosting the contest.
I really hope we do 1943 again in 2017, because I'm fairly certain I can score a lot higher than I did previously. I think that was one of the very first contests this year and I wasn't in "competition mode" yet(I was a noob).

Indeed, big thank you to Bimmy and Guillavoie! The contests really helped me focus on specific games and gave me a renewed sense of determination, instead of "oh, I guess I'll just play ___ today..." The contests exposed me to a lot of games I would not have discovered on my own.

I agree with you on this. This competition, which I know is at the heart of the reason for doing it, has prompted me to utilize a greater part of my NES library. I was very thankful to have made it into the final tournament this year (by the skin of my teeth and because of some other drops) and am VERY thankful that I made it to the last round. I started out strong on the boards then kind of fizzled out early on. I hope that 2017 fares better for me in that sense.
Oh and I hope that we do 1943 again as well. Not because I want to have pre-mature CTS or RSI but rather so I can take the last second posts of Bert and Skinny and climb to the top this time. I'll be the mongoose and neutralize the Cobra!
Looking forward to competing in 2017. After playing in 2015, I took a long break this year. Hope to have some fun competitions with you guys soon.
^this guy is a shoot em up wizard.... I'd need my best and still need an off day from acromite to even have a chance.

Also to the other competitors. You guys are fuming good. Can't believe I got as far as I did this year with the stiff competition. You're all a fun bunch of characters.
Last shout out to Michael (mbd). While skinny and Brocks rivalry was well-known I always felt you and me had a friendly rivalry too. Definitely my favourite fellow competitor to play against. Our scores were usually quite close especially near the end of the year. It was fun sharing tips in PM too (you won't see skinny doing that). Congrats on making it to the finals with some expert bluffing in round 2!
Thank you guys so much for hosting the contests this year. I miss playing alongside you guys but you're the best at organizing these things (remember the nes ruler days? Lol) and thanks to guill for always reading and responding to my late night random PM's about the current game haha. Seriously these are my favourite threads on NA bar none and this was my favourite year of competing.

Thanks. I wish I could have been better competition in Adventure Island, but that is one hard game. At least my score would have gotten me first place in the 2011 contest. http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=49227

Eh, we only got 1 season.
Legendary Wings is really easy, I agree (as long as you don't end up getting stuck in a wall at some point). What disappointed you about it, if I may ask? It is still a good shooter with awesome music, albeit a bit repetitive with the dragons and palaces.

Pirated, and it took forever to find.
Pinball machine too.
