Adventure Island

**Kugyince** · 02-05-2007, 03:51 PM

Alright, we need to put up some good scores in the arcade so new comers don't assume we're a bunch of sissies here. So every week I'll be going in alphabetical order on the NES arcade.

This will be the rule for every one of these contests.

1) I'm allowed to participate, as their are some high scores that I will defend vigorously. So As Jaden Yugi would say, "Get your game on."

2) Each contest will end EXACTLY one week after I post it. Meaning if I post the contest at 10:53pm EST on a Monday, it'll end the next Monday at 10:52pm EST. So please pay attention to the post dates.

Points will be awarded as such:
10th - 100 points
9th - 200 points
8th - 300 points
7th - 400 points
6th - 500 points
5th - 600 points
4th - 700 points
3rd - 800 points
2nd - 900 points
1st - 1000 points

So you see it's worth posting all of your scores, not just your best one. Good luck. Who ever has the most total points at the end of the contest will get something extra.

Sweet. I love Adventure Island.

{completely OOC: Tenser, do you have the DVD from which that clip in your sig is from? Gotta be the coolest concert DVD EVER! I just wish MF Doom would have been around so they didn't have to show him on a screen.}

**Kugyince** · 02-06-2007, 02:38 PM

I can't stand the Adventure Island series myself. Yech!

{OOC: I don't own the DVD because I didn't know they released it on DVD. I do own clips of all the songs though. Guess I'll have to buy that DVD now.:mrgreen

Here's the Link
Adventure Island Because I'm a nice guy.
Also your high score will be shown on the title screen so don't worry if you miss your screen shot.

I'm with you Tenser, not my favorite game, though when I get competitive then it becomes more playable....

This is a great game for this kind of contest, there is no possible way to farm, it rewards you for not dieing (by you keeping your weapon and then getting milk, or flowers) and even if you find the infinite continues bee you continue with a score of 0.

Did anyone recognize it still says "Addams Family" on the Home Page for the game of the week?

**wanman** · 02-06-2007, 03:49 PM

Yeah, me. there is a hudson bee in the first level that let's u continue but your score goes back to zero

**Kong** · 02-06-2007, 04:39 PM

Thanks Sabby. I fixed it.

I think this is an OK game. Not great but much better than Addams Family. I will try to find the time to set a decent score.

The thing about the game is the controls aren't responsive, he constantly walks like he's on ice, and the Mario set-up with the attack and speed button being the same but without the alternate attack form like Mario had with stomping.

It's not too bad. It's your typical Old School Nintendo game. Kind of fun, kind of lame. It's RETRO, baby!

I'm going to try to find some time this afternoon to put up some points. I loved competing in these contests back on the old site.
(T24 begins priming himself for a spectacular return...)

**Hobbes** · 02-08-2007, 11:33 AM

I think I'll be taking this one.

I think I'll stop submitting as well unless I beat that score so you guys can try and take second.

**Kugyince** · 02-08-2007, 01:19 PM

222k? Nice. That's worth some rep from me.

**wanman** · 02-11-2007, 03:40 PM

That is weird, we go back the list of nes games and do 3d world runner 2 as game of the week

**Kong** · 02-11-2007, 03:55 PM

It was renamed from it's Japanese title, JJ, last week changing it's order.

**wanman** · 02-11-2007, 04:00 PM

I see, looks like the points to this contest is:

Hobbes with a massive 4700 points and a contest win
Jeckel22 with 800 points

Yeah I could take them all, but that does not seem sporting, and as a said above I would not submit unless I beat that score, which I did once.
