Skipping stage 4 counts against progress. I will amend the rules to state that if you skipped stage 4 and spawned the flying ship, you must take the picture and post it to show that you did such thing.

I surely hope that doing a score run in those rules take a lot less time than usual. It is what I was aiming for with them.

That is correct. You must have over 15K points at the end of stage 1 for your score to count.

Switch NES classics port is totally allowed.

You never really get to fight your shadow. You reunite with it through a mirror during the game.

This man speaks nothing but truth in this post. The SNES version is THE BEST Prince of Persia experience you can have. The game is EXQUISITE and improves so damn much over the original game. The new stages, challenges and boss fights are so fresh and don't break the game feel. It is THE definite and perfect Prince of Persia version.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!! It is TIME! The time you all have been waiting for. The time for the grandest event of the year to start. A fresh new start for all our competitors. A new chance to be crowned VGS CHAMPION! New genre badges to be earned to prove they are the VERY BEST in a certain game genre! It is TIME for our players to show the results of their training during the down time. @guillavoieand I are proud and honoured to present and start the VGS NES WEEKLY CONTEST 2021! And... we start off with a CLASSIC! Super Mario Bros 3! I bet all the evil turtle hoppers are ready to hop till Bowser's fortress, aren't you all? Well, THINK AGAIN! Here's the evil, wicked, twisted rules that SMB3 will run under: One life only If you die, take your picture at the world map so we can assess progress Play till you beat world 1 If you skip stage 4, take a picture of the world map when Bowser's warship spawn to show that you skipped it. If you beat world 1, take your picture at the start of world 2 Progress + Highest score wins Participation: Beat stage 1 with a score of at least 15,000 Genre: Platformer I hope you all are READY FOR THIS CHALLENGE!!! And be happy I am not making you play as green Mario! The contest ends Sunday, 03/21/20 at 11 PM VGS 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.

I won't be playing since I am the tournament organizer, will be helping stream it and will be one of the casters commenting the matches. Let them have their spot in the sun to shine. I will be kicking dudes butts in future tournaments, though.

So, I am organizing and running a women's only online tournament here in Brazil to celebrate Women's month and promote the female SFV scene. It will be streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/sofatechfg on the 27th, 18 PM, Brasilia time!

It is a Kunio game, so of course it is crazy and wild and fun! You guys will LOVE it during the contest.

I have been really busy with work lately and in the last month busted my left wrist pretty bad, but I have been slowly chipping Lemmings away a few levels every night for a while now, all set up to finish it on my birthday. I don't have one of those adapters, but I will look into it though.

Lemmings is finally done.

Thanks! Being 41 feels weird.

Well, @Crabmaster2000 now possesses all my Championship Pool knowledge (it is all in the simulation the game shows, pay attention to it and realize that the current simulation is your current shot). And to beat it faster, you should play 9 ball, use not only the simulation, but use it and your feelings to make the lowest ball to hit ball 9 by rebound and knock it down the role to win that round. Ain't no one got time to play Championship Pool on 8 ball mode. Anyway, even though I have been busy as hell with work and now dealing with some serious left wrist problems, I have been slowly chipping away Lemmings and will finish the last stage of Mayhem difficulty tonight to celebrate getting fucking old. Next I need to figure out how to get the vauz to work with emulators to slowly kill Arkanoid as well, if my orthopeadist actually allows me to do such madness.

Thank you. I turned fucking old today!

There will be plenty of shooting to be done this year in the weekly contest. Some fancy abroad shooting even, so be happy.

Here we go! This year will be a lot of fun and we have several Famicom games allotted among the NES ones for extra fun! I hope you all enjoy playing this new season of the VGS NES Weekly Contest! We will do our best to ensure that it runs smoothly!

We do have a finished game list and we are only finishing touching up the schedule for the weekly contest. Expect to see it all this weekend!

Oh boy... Mutant Virus is a major chore. The last level requires the proper use of the super gun and of the counter measures and it takes effing forever. Moving your character around the screen feels pretty unnatural too. You will need some serious patience with that one. That one is truly the last major hurdle for you to achieve your mission.

We will likely start mid March. Games and schedule are still being decided.

I may have a few days off coming so I will fuck this thing up, along with posting info about Championship Pool stuff.

I am amidst a very hard and time consuming project here, so game stuff is mostly on hold for now.

That would either be boring and take too long to play or would have people abusing warps. It would require some very distinct set of rules like "Highest score in the first 5 stages" or something like that.
