Rev Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) The D2K Arcade High Score Contest will be coming soon. One of the prizes for top score will be a custom D2K Arcade embroidered patch. Here is a early sample of the patch. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome as they have not been finalized or ordered yet. Other prizes are being contemplated as well for the top 5 high score and the winner. Most likely everyone that participates will receive a patch. possibly a cap on amount if too many people join (75?) Details are still being worked out. The contest is hopefully to start Feb 1st 2013.

Fushek Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) You mean I have a chance to get TWO patches in the same year for the Intellivision! Time to start practicing ... BTW ... am I the only one that thinks that giving out the patch to everyone kinda deflates it's importance? It's just like when my son gets a trophy for his win-less baseball team . Maybe promise the top 20 scores to encourage competition and give out more later if you choose? Or (I know it costs more) but make up a participation patch AND a limited top scores patch.

Good idea, i will probably limit the patches somehow to give people incentive. I will iron out the details. Btw, i got the final proof from the patch company a while ago, it makes my mockup look like crap! Lol There was only a few revisions i had them make and i will post the pic in here.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 LOL...."Iron out the details" I think there should be a minimum score to earn a patch, but also an attainable score for those willing to put a little effort in. Kinda like the old Activision patches, where you're not always wondering if someone will knock you out. You get the score; you get the patch. At least it will keep IntellivisionDude from whining OMG, my sides hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 The only way dude will get this patch is if he photoshops his score! AhahahhA J/k dude, we love you man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 http://www.atariage....25#entry1998882 LOL, what can i say. it was a joke! But how do we keep cheaters out? Maybe a actual pic of the tv and not a screencap? Or not even worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) here is an official proof from the patch store. There is only a few color adjustments that needed to be made to this. This proof had 17 colors and i had to bring it down to 9. Should be TOO different. there are alot of different shades of yellow and grey that they will just be the same.

Or not even worry about it. Just warning it's forbid to cheat and some analysis of each screen as done in Carol vs World contest.I think nobody will cheat.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I know it's early but I'm actually playing D2K for the first time today since I originally tested it. What kind of score are we talking, because I'm terrible. Donkey Kong has never been my game. Which maps will be covered? Any specific settings/characters, or just get the points?

Still not 100 percent sure. I have to confer with Carl and get his input on it. But im guessing probably just the top score. Possibly some other secondary goal to get a patch as well. We shall see pretty soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Mueller Jr Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Of course, the game should be Game 2, but I think the characters are pretty well-balanced, and any entries should be accepted regardless of which character is chosen. Since the ROM is now available, we shouldn't require that a picture of the television screen be submitted. If we wanted to be really picky, however, we could require a game state or video capture be included. But really, I think we can just accept a screenshot either with an emulator or with a camera.

Carl That sounds good carl. I like being able to choose 3 characters with the abilities. That was easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I played as well but I pulled it out last night. I played game 2 last night, made it to the fifth level, and scored 10,500. So far, I've only played with Mario so I need to start trying out the others. It's funny, after playing Carol, 10,000 sounds like a HUGE score.

(...) Carl I didn't play too much so I don't remember what advantage Mario has over Toni, the fastest. I need to read the manual again. Bruno is tough but I believe he's slower than Mario.

Fushek Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 take a few seconds video with phone showing intellivision end tv and zoom to the score any phone can shoot videos today The entire point of this is to be FUN ... I don't want to have to worry about having my phone/video camera handy after a game to video tape a high score. We're not talking about millions of dollars at stake. I trust people not to cheat for a GAME ... but maybe I'm just naive. I think that a screen shot of the tv screen or a copy of the print screen should be sufficient, right?

Rev Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 yeah, i think it will be fine to just have a pic of the screen or screen cap. i think no one will cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
