CGQuarterly Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Welcome to round 6 of the 10th season of the Atari Age NES High Score League! I'm going back to 2-week rounds this season. (Unless I get busy and forget, in which case the rounds have been known to stretch on for a month or more. ) This round we are going to play 1942, the epic video-game sequel to the classic 1979 Steven Spielberg comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. PRIZE ALERT From here on out, I am going to post a "prize pool" each week consisting of 3 prizes. That round's winner will get to choose from the three items, and a new item will be added. People are welcome to donate any Nintendo-related items to be used in the pool. Doing so will allow you to pick a game to be played. If you do not live in the United States, in lieu of receiving a prize from the NES HSC, you are invited to treat yourself to the prize of your choosing at your nearest fast-food retaurant, happy-ending massage parlor, or participating auto parts retailer. In an ideal world, this round ends on Monday, May 6th. Title: 1942 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Nintendo Released: November 1986 (US, because I don't care when it came out anywhere else) http://youtu.be/B0FOOpOGGxg Rules: None. But try not to die. Your score will be higher that way. Scores so far: Current standings: 1. WispFollower 23 2. cparsley 16 3. darthkur 13 4. classicgamer_27330 10 5. Skosh 9 6. asponge 7 7(t). Austin 6 7(t).

CGQuarterly Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Anyone who beats roadrunner's score is banned from the club. This is the best shot he's ever had, and I don't want to be associated with the heartless bastard who would even consider taking it away from him. That being said, we will have prizes again this round. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
