Until We Win - High Score Challenge 11/27/09

[LordKaT]

I'm a day late, sue me. The challenge is up here: http://www.lordkat.com/until-we-win-hig ... lenge.html

The rules are simple:

1) No cheats of any king, including in-game cheats, pro action replay, game genie, emulator save states, memory hacking, or frame advance
2) You can't use continues, if a game offers it. Once you use up all of your lives it's back to the beginning with you!
3) Submit a screenshot - IN THIS THREAD - showing your high score.

There are two challenges: the ultimate high score in each game, and the "one and done" challenge. The ultimate high score is pretty simple: get a higher score in the game than everyone else. The "one and done" challenge limits you to one playthrough of the game - no practice runs, no replays, no do-overs - and that's it.

You can submit scores for both challenges, but you must specify which challenge each score is for.

Let's see those scores, people!

I'm sure many will beat this for Popeye One and Done, but what the hell. 47290 is my best. When I was 12 I was a lot better, faster...now I'm older...slower...cynical....life sucks. Bluto is an asshole by the way.

[Jingus]

sue me.

Oh, I am. I AM.







...fortunately for you, the only lawyer I could afford was this guy:

Alright That's my highscore for Balloon Fight One and Done and i think i did a pretty good job. Fortunately i played the hell out of that game when I was a kid

EDIT: Here's my highscore for Popeye One and Done. Well that was the first time I ever played this game so I think it wasn't that bad. I had to take the screenshot at the Demo screen right after I died because the Game Over screen went away too fast. I hope that's not a problem



EDIT 2: Loopz One and Done. Man I suck at that game.



EDIT 3: Magmax One and Done.



EDIT 4: Donkey Kong One and Done

[tonyutter]

"One and done." I have no doubt this will get beaten.

Entry for ultimate highscore of mag max!

RThis wasnt my highest score because i didnt screenshot that :p and (oddly) my first score was higher but i didnt screenshot that either. I am REALLY addicted to this game and i will beat anyone No matter how long i have to spend on it!

EDIT: That came out a bit big with some of it cut off. It still has the score so will that be a problem?

[LordKaT]

That image is fine, if a bit big.

As long as its still legal

[Elanarae]

Here's my MagMax "one and done" Highscore ^^
Perhaps I'll do the other games during the week or are we limited to just one reply?

[LordKaT]

you can submit for every game.

Hi LordKat, not going to participate in the challenge, I just wanted to say that I think your high score challenge was a great way to mix up the series. Though I'd also mention that it might have been better to go with the arcade release via MAME rather than the NES cart. Why you ask? While they look identical, it seems to me, and I could be wrong, that the arcade version of Donkey Kong is harder than the NES port of it. Not sure why that is, maybe it's because there aren't any quarters to gobble. Maybe it's my impression, but sometime, play the NES version then switch to the arcade, I think you'll notice a difference in difficulty.

one and done popeye

loopz one and done, it was all smooth until the z shaped pieces came to the party

mag max one and done

[demon2warrior]

All of these are "one and dones" so don't expect intense scores...


Possibly the easiest game on the list...

Loopz flat out sucked and I didnt even know you could rotate those tubes until soon before I died.


Popeye isn't that difficult, it really just takes one try to get used to the layout... BEWARE PLUTO THAT BASTARD!

I did it on my nes but it wont let me import the picture

I'm sure the majority of you guys know this, but punching the bottles nets you 100 points, punching skulls nets you 100 points, always use the barrel on Bluto in round one, and then fetch the spinach to get 4000 easy points, the higher the platform your on when you grab hearts, notes, and letters, fetches you a higher score, use the see saw to hit Sweet Pea in Stage 2 for 500 points, and last but most certainly not least, punching the vultures nets you 1000 points. You get an extra live at 20000 points, I'm sure the majority of you guys know this, but I thought I'd pass the word along just in case.

This is my ultimate high score in MagMax. But if I keep practicing and get a better score, can I post that as well? Or is it only one entry per game?

[IamFJ]

So I just did "One and Done" on Ballon Fight and Loopz

[demon2warrior]

This is my ultimate high score in MagMax. But if I keep practicing and get a better score, can I post that as well? Or is it only one entry per game?

You can repost as long as its before the end of the challenge.

[LordKaT]

You only get one crack at one and done, but you can repost the high score as many times as you want.
