If you win first place you will have to skip the next 3 prize contests. Second place skips the next 2 prize contests. Third place just skips next month's contest. This is so more people have a chance to win instead of giving the same people prizes over and over.

Retro Mission Rules:


Receive points for completing each mission below. Any actions before the contest beings or after it ends do not count.

You only have to complete the mission once during the month. It does not matter if you do not have it completed when the contest ends. Example the first mission says get 10th place in SMW. You do not have to have 10th place at the end of the contest. You just have to have it some time during the course of the contest even if it is just for a second.

You can only get credit for each mission once.

You must use a different game for each mission. You can not use one score to get credit for 2 different missions.

+1 bonus point if you are the first to complete a mission.

In the event of a tie the person that received their final point first, wins.


When you complete a mission you must post your accomplishment in this thread. The bonus points for being first and deciding ties are determined by the time you post your accomplishment in this thread, not the time that you submit your score.

To receive credit for completing a mission your score/clear must be approved by the mods but you do not have to wait for mod approval before posting your mission accomplishment here.
