    Yeah, I've played some Ninja Turtles in my day. This one is my favorite by far. I usually play for points, but going for progress proved to be a different kind of challenge, so it was quite fun.  





    Hope you stay for the long haul competition. Sucks when people dominate one game out of nowhere  and bail.



    I've played in the NES competitions a time or two. I don't usually start playing in them unless I know I'm going to be able to stick around. I always get hung up on the time involved, but I think monthly contests will be much more manageable.

    you gonna beat me in a shoot em up this year sanda? (here comes the puzzle game) 



    hell, if you can beat my current turtles score, ill stick around. shouldnt be that hard for a beat um up champ, like yourself   unless you dont have the time or you never played this game before   





     
  • Well damn. I completed the game last night with one death, but it looks like woRm did it without dying(and a better score), so my place won't change. I'll give it a few more tries, but it looks like I'm locked into 3rd place.

  • Completed no deaths. Looking forward to the contest this year! Played one month last year and I really enjoyed it. I hope more members compete this year as well.











    Super Mario Kart



    Total Time: 5'29"65



















  • You last minute claim-jumpers are killin' me! Now I gotta go back and play again, lol



    I know I can do it. The only time I lose a life is to the yellow disc soldiers right before Bebop and Rocksteady. If I can get the drop on them, I can no death the whole thing. I never wind up with a very high score, though. Not even close to 1000, so I'll likely still be third place even if I no death it. 
  • ya, i might try again. cant let ghost beat me without another shot  
  • I guess if I do Turtles In Time again I'll have to do hard difficulty. Nice job guys, you've both secured a bonus point.
  • Gloves I haven't overlooked you, I just need an opportunity to be able to see your scores from my home PC. Or Stryphos will make the update.

    Ah, yeah I posted the photos to Facebook, so that makes sense. I can re-host on imgur if you wanna do it, or I don't mind waiting, no problem at all.  

    I only see your Bowser Castle photo?  Did you upload the other 3 stages?  If so, I also can not see them.  Perhaps push all 4 up to imgur and re link them, then I can update your scores for you.

    Well the good news if you change it to hard mode is I'll be secure in my position on the leaderboard

    Ah no, I didn't find the time to do all 4 sadly. I could probably play later today if the deadline hasn't hit. For now, please consider me as having not submitted a score for Mario Kart, only for Turtles.
  • I allowed partial SMK submissions last time. You'll get last place, but its still an entry

    I changed my mind, I think I'll do an attempt or two for fun.  The problem?  Figuring out where the Konami games are.  These are actually kind of a pain to open







     
  • I'd not feel right submitting an incomplete score just to be on the board. Since the deadline is tomorrow, I'll play tonight and get the other levels done. I'll probably still be last place lol, but I'll have some fun on the way.  
  • I added pictures to my post on page 2 but the pictures turned out like shit once I uploaded them to NA. Brock if you want to higher res ones I could email them to you. I also have videos which I might upload if anyone wants to see them.
  • I can make them out, that's good enough for me

    I for one would love to see the videos.  It doesn't matter to me whether it's now or after the contest is over for this month.  Regardless, you are out of my league with this game  

     
  • Sigh. I really wanted to buckle down, dust off my SNES, and master those Mario Kart tracks. I reserved a spot on the first page like the cool kids. I had a vision of slowly improving on each course, slowly chipping seconds off my total time. But January has been an extremely busy month. I got some Game Boy games polished off during breaks at work, but free time at home is all gobbled up by my new adorable baby. No complaints and no regrets obviously. Maybe what I need is a portable SNES!



    Anyway, I pulled Mario Kart up on an emulator the other day and slammed out some times just so I could say I participated. Did a few runs of Bowser Castle 1 to get the hang of the drifting. Didn't really matter   Hopefully future months will be better. Total time by my count is 6:15:07. Didn't even attempt Turtles.

  • Gah! I beat it without dying and didn't get a pic in time. I got distracted and forgot to pause. >.< Gotta do it again. Ending screen doesn't show lives remaining.



    Edit: Updated. No death, 1036 pts. Unless I get bumped out of the top 3, I think thats it for me. My left thumb hurts, lol.

    I posted the videos from the contest last year a while back and am planning on posting this year's as well.  I'm actually going for my best times on all 20 tracks with the goal at first to break all the Twin Galaxies records.  I think I've got about half of them right now.



     
  • Where are last years videos pegboy? I don't remember seeing the link(s)?

    it all makes sence now. your a super nintendo loving dank lil cases for my games guy. no wonder! 



    you know i was thinking, "pompous  tapewoRm" might be a better fit actualy   

     






















  • I'd say my best tracks were Rainbow Road and Vanilla Lake 2, the other 3 I know I can do better although I absolutely hate the Bowser Castle courses, especially the bullshit in BC3 which has a 100% element of luck with the wall of thwomps.
  • Dang dude, I think I could pull off a lap, maybe 2 of your technique for Rainbow Road ... but 5 in a row? My nerves would be shot lol Most impressive.
  • Holy freakin moly. Dude, those SMK videos are nuts. Total nuts.
  • The bonus point for Super Mario Kart will be for times under 5 minutes.  I apologize for the delay on getting that finalized;  going forward all games will have one published early in the month
