zylon Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Welcome to "Left, Right, & Shoot Stuff 2" Round will end Sunday, August 26th 2012 @ 10pmEST The games: We will be playing 4 games this round: Millipede, Gyruss, & Beamrider as the main events. Space Invaders will be the special bonus game(s). Play all 3 of the main games on default settings. Pics encouraged, but not necessary. Use whatever control scheme you like and emulation is fine. The exception is I will allow the A8 versions of Millipede, Gyruss and Beamrider as there is no change in gameplay that I can detect. If anyone wishes to plead their case on why A8 ports shouldn't be used for a certain game; go right ahead. These are a bit more uncommon so I'm making an exception to not leave anyone out, as missing a game could be costly. The scoring: Because of the huge difference in scoring on these games, each game will be scored separately, but round points will be earned per each position. Top spot earns 10 round points, 2nd spot earns 9 round points, etc. Lowest round points will be 3. 3 round points will also be given for missing one game. Combined round points will decide your finishing places for the round. Ties will be settled by combined score. HSC record bonus will still be in effect, plus any surprise I can devise.

zylon Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 ^^This is a big, complicated round and reading is FUNdamental, but playing gets it done. There's no record to beat or bonus to earn for SI G-5 until next time we play it. The reward is your name in the crosshairs. We have many games to play and you've just got started. BTW: I'll be updating scores near daily, but totals only when I have time. Typically, I do a weekly summary on these large rounds. But, since you mentioned it, I did just give it a quick play.
