2013 Retro Uprising Gaming Champ

[GimmeClassics]

When you play using scoremode can you at any time press F5 or the "ArcadeOX Score Mode" link to start over. Many times I start a game, get annoyed when I lose a live to soon and start over. Is this allowed (no max) ?

[Wolf]

you can do f5 as many times as you want f5 restart the game and starts a new recording

[Kong]

Yes as long as you have not submitted your score yet - F12.

Once you submit you have to click the link to fully start over but until then F5 all you want.

Ill try and shake things up soon (try being the keyword)

[Kong]

5.5 weeks left.

Predictions? Where do you hope to finish? Do you think anyone will topple TodayIsForgotten?

Reviews? How do you think this contest has gone? Should anything change next year? Did you like/dislike any of the game choices?

Anyone planning to stir the pot in December? I still haven't given up on placing in top 3.

I'd like to play a bit,t a lot of time, but at least put up a score in each game.

As far as next year, what about introducing new games half way through the year, have like a "halftime" so to speak. Just add some to the list. Or maybe add 1 game a month...

Interesting. Anyone agree/disagree?

One problem is we have almost finished publicly picking all the games for next year and I don't want to start over just so they can be a mystery.

[sonic7978]

[kernzy]

What!? Devils Crush is the funnest game on the list this year.

[kernzy]

lol! yeah, right mate!
slow and boring. yawn!!

[Kong]

Sounds like you haven't played Devil's Crush very much if you think it is slow. Not a slow game at all.

[kernzy]

only a few times. i found it boring and annoying!
momentum was rubbish...

[Permafrostrick]

out of any list of 15-20+ games you likely will have a few that are "boring" or "annoying".

I think the trivia games are pointless...just play it over and over again to the point you have memorized most of the answers to score higher.

sort of want to play a bit more for end of year..but sort of lost interest also in these games and think regardless how much I play I can't take 1st now. maybe could get 2nd back. I submitted good scores for all the games on the list I had any interest in and still have a few I have not submitted any score for and are for type of game I really don't want to play them to even submit a score.

in terms of taking hours to play...well if you want short games, that really restricts the list of what is available. since you have an entire year to play and set scores for them...see the length of a game as long as not too excessive(ie beyond 10-12 hours) is fine.

That Devil's Crush score I got think took me 1.5-2 hours max. it can be a very fast scoring game if you get the multiplier ball into the bonus games. I think on that run I had built up to a 6x ball then did the 8 mil one for a nice 48 mil on 1 bonus game.

Yeah weird, all games lower in the alphabet than "AR" seem to be missing. It's not just you.

[sonic7978]

Cool thanks. We still playing here, got 9 days left

[Kong]

Not much time left. There is some shaking going on.

I fell from 4th to 7th in the past couple days. Barra made it into the top 4. I don't think he was in the top 10 last week.

The top 3 are still a fairly solid lock.

Just over 2 days left.

Pointing this out so no one is caught off guard or angry after the contest is over. Barra and TRB found a trick on level 3 that greatly increases their score. This trick is not difficult at all but it doesn't break any rules. If you want to duplicate the trick, donate a dollar or more so you can watch score movies or go to marp and watch the top score there.

See if you can beat the new highscore!

Automatic post.
Score approved by Kong.

This score is huge but it is easily beatable.

[Barra]

And we have a new leader!

[Ballas]

The wrong Frogger is listed here, the link above goes to theNES version.
