NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Alpha Mission
Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests! We are entering the final block of games for 2015, which means we only have six games remaining (one for each genre) before the 2015 Winter Tournament begins! This week’s game is going to be Alpha Mission. Here are the rules:
The contest ends Sunday, 11/15/15 at 11 PM NA time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun
Play until Game Over
When you lose your last life, you will have a very brief opportunity to pause the game to get your score. It is recommended you pause the game as soon as you die to get your score. It is also recommended you play it safe during your last life and continuously capture your score in case you miss the opportunity when you lose your last life.
One loop only. Once you reach the final boss (Area 6), pause the game and take a picture of your score. You can't fight the final boss to boost your score. Anyone suspected of playing the game after the loop or fighting the final boss would have his score disqualified..
Collecting the “R” icon is absolutely forbidden. This warps you backward in the game, and therefore, creates the option to point rack. If you accidentally collect an “R” icon, your attempt will end. Anyone suspected of playing the game after collecting an “R” icon will have their score disqualified.
You can reset a boss fight by going into the special ships selection screen. Don't use this glitch to fight a boss more than once. If you accedentally reset a boss fight after beating him once, your run is over.
Highest score wins
GENRE: Shooter/Shoot ‘Em Up

(Shooter/Shoot 'em Up)
I think it's going to be really close for the shooter icon. This game with this rule set is going to make it a really close competition.
You have a 3 point lead over BriGuy82, so you're definitely in a good position. I'll probably just try to loop it and call it a week.
Darnit, I forgot to order this game. November came too quick lol. I used to have this game but traded it to a buddy.
You might be able to get a copy by the end of the week. You still have a shot at the shooter icon.
I'm not in contention for the shooter genre icon, but hopefully I can still put up a decent score by the end of the week.
Mathematically you still have a shot at the shooter icon
i have a 3 point cushion but I know briguy is going to bring it. Bert is going to try and get a ghost icon. Nesmaster score in sqoon was impressive (I think he will get a cart by the end of the week) and I have a feeling red is going to show up this week. So I'm still nervous about my chances of pulling off the win.

This is a lot funnier when you're not gunning for me for a change!

It looks like you've been practicing!

Maybe I should have slow played that hand lol.

I think you're safe since you're 10 points up on me in the shooter genre standings. Even if I finish ahead of you this week, I'm pretty sure I'm not making up that much ground.

I know it's not a great score but my goal here is to participate more often.

No kidding! He pushed me to the limit during the Punch Out and Ice Hockey contests. Even though I beat him both times (barely), I swear the experience took years off my life.

I got my loop in so I'm done for the week. I need to practice ahead for the next few weeks when I have a shot at an icon!

It's going to be real close this week. We're all going to be within a few thousand points of each other.
