4Ks Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Your name is Alex Kidd. You have courage, a punch that shatters rocks, and a big job to do. You learn that the mysterious city of Radactian is in trouble. All your skills and talents are desperatlely needed to help. But there's a catch. How do you get there? Your only clues are a mysterious map and a medallion made of Sunstone. With that be enough to solve the riddle of the pathway? You face the obstacles, solve the mysteries, and learn the secrets as you go along. But there's high adventure on every turn. It takes a Kidd like you to handle a challenge like this. Any controller is fine, as are emulators. Deadline for high scores is 12:00am, January 8, 2010. Edited December 24, 2009 by 4Ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ks Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'll start things off. 19,400 I lost a bunch of lives on the Scissors Head boss, so I got a game over kinda early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'll get in on this… miracle world is not one of my strongest games, but I look forward to the other titles to play! I love my SMS and I'm playing it almost daily glad to have my SMS II where Miracle World has 'proper' button mapping… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 ok my first play: 15,000 - stage 3? I won the first match (lost 2 lives at him) and had a cheap death in the next stage. I'm a bit rusty lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic R Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 got to the forest this time… I struggle with this stage myself my latest score: 35,100 I tried to get a pic but that screen is only stay on for second long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ks Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 27,800 I finally got past the forest level! The level after that is pretty easy, but then the next level gets hard again. You'll really want to have the helicopter for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) It's been a while since I've played this one. I think I got lucky. Hell, I don't think I have ever made it past the third Janken match, but I did it today (Got to the final castle, and man is it tough!). Near-end score right after the third Janken match: 54,600 (I wasn't quick enough with my camera after I got a game over, it only flashes your final score for two or three seconds ) Edited December 26, 2009 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic R Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I need to return to this and improve my score… but I'm having too much fun with The Ninja… lol I'll give it a few more go this afternoon… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I started playing Master System games a couple months ago, i'm not good at most games. I'll start off with a score of 9,000 for this game, but i was able to get a screenshot. I'm glad you brought back the Master System HSC, i'd like to see somebody take over the NES HSC from vdub_bobby since he doesn't have time to run it or doesn't want to run it. I'd also like to see someone bring back the Turbo Grafx 16 HSC and Odyssey 2 high score thread. How does one go about taking over a long dead high score club?

4Ks Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 How does one go about taking over a long dead high score club? It was my brother's idea, actually. He said that since clearly no one cared, perhaps I could do it myself? I figured what the heck, I might as well. And I'm liking it so far. i'd like to see somebody take over the NES HSC from vdub_bobby since he doesn't have time to run it or doesn't want to run it. Woah, since when was the NES HSC thread R.I.P.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Don't you need permission from one of the mods to take over a high score club? The NES HSC hasn't been active since november. Are you going to put everybody's scores in the first post? Is there a point system for the Master System HSC? OK no more question's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your questions: I can't see that the mods really resent my doing this, since they all threw away the chance to revive this place themselves. I prefer to do the score tables 8-bit HSC style, by having little "mini-tables", like this: Austin 54,600 Sonic R 35,100 4Ks 27,800 roadrunner 9,000 At the end of the round, I will post a final score table, with HSC points HSC points are points that you keep forever, and are used to show your overall rank in this HSC. The points are given according to your score rank in each game, for example: 1st place = 12 points 2nd place = 10 3rd = 8 4th = 6 5th = 4 6th = 2 any other rank = 1 How's that for some answers?

To quote Sam Kinison from the classic movie Back To School "Good answer, good answer, i like the way you think." Just an idea, but I like the way how the guys do it in the Jag HSC where you still get a point for submitting a score even if the competition has long since been complete.

Just an idea, but I like the way how the guys do it in the Jag HSC where you still get a point for submitting a score even if the competition has long since been complete. I prefer to do things the way all the other HSCs do it. Ergo, once the contest is over, it's over. Besides, if the contest just went on forever, there wouldn't be a sure winner. For all you know, someone might come along 2 years later and kick you down to second place. And it would be hard to keep track of people's HSC points if they keep going back to old rounds and posting scores. But maybe at the end of season 1 we could have a bonus round where people can go replay all the previous games for extra points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) In some other HSCs, regardless whether or not you beat someone's high score in a competition that's already been completed, you still only get one point just for participation. Not two, not ten. Just one. It gives people that missed a competition a tiny bit of incentive to still play and try to oust someone's high score in a particular game, as that's the fun part to begin with anyways. As far as tracking scores, seeing as how modifying old threads pushes them to the top of any particular sub-forum, provided you're keeping regular tabs on what's going on here, I don't see how it would be any more difficult than updating someone's score and ranking in an active competition. All you're doing is adding someone's name to a list and tacking one point next to their name for participation. Hell, maybe you should get a vote on this?
