Yeah, I did. First time I have, too. Turned out it was a lot easier for me to get past than Mario's Hideout was on DK Junior. :lol:

I suppose that'd be fair, as long as you're using the same ROMs we're using.

Tournament ends at 6:00 PM EST! That's four and a half hours left! Get your screenshots in by then!

I'll announce next week's game tonight.

Just an opinion, but I feel like it would be good to extend the time frame of these competitions to allow more people to participate*. For a lot of arcade games, one week is a really limited amount of time to get into what could potentially be a whole new game. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the time frame could be intimidating.


*And give me more time to beat YoshiEgg's high score.

Curses!

And as for the idea of lengthening it, I will probably rotate games in, so Donkey Kong will be another game in the future. How far in the future? Who knows.

Just found this thread - awesome idea, Yosh. Like that you'll rotate in the same game, otherwise I'd consider doing two week intervals.

I might do two week intervals in the future. We'll see.
