    Since point pressing isn't allowed, the high score method involves reaching the final bosses with as many lives as possible (the most you can get without any farming is 5), defeat the first two final boss forms, and then keep suiciding at the third form to replay all of act 6.

     

    This game is apparently difficult to play for score if you can't point press. If it works for you and everyone else I'm cool with amending the point pressing rule to exclude timed games. The only reason the rule exists is to keep some games from becoming tedious instead of fun. But, if it's preventing competition then it doesn't make much sense. Any and all opinions are welcome.

    It should be against the rules to collect any 1up more than once. If you grab a 1up and then die, you can't collect it again.

     

    As long as a player isn't purposefully dying in order to replay the level for more points I personally don't have an issue with this. If you're honestly struggling to defeat a level and it's takes a few tries that seems fair to me. In addition, if a player is struggling with a certain point of the game the chances of them blowing away the top scores seems slim.

     

    If anyone else has an opinion on this please chime in. We'll go with whatever the group thinks is fair.

     

    And there is a 1up loop in 5-3 where you can farm as many extra lives as you want. I don't know if this falls under point pressing exactly, but any 1up farming or 1up loops should be forbidden.

     

    Yes, farming 1ups is certainly not very sportsmanlike. I'll add this to the game rules.

     

    By the way, thanks for the heads up on both of these points. I'm not very familiar with this game.

    Welcome to round 12. This round's game is Ninja Gaiden. The final score doesn't stay up long nor reappear so take note before game over. Again, screenshots aren't required.

    The game for round 11 is Super Sprint. The key to winning is upgrading your vehicle by collecting wrenches on the track. You must collect at least 2 wrenches and win the race to get the upgrade screen. Check out the manual for scoring information. After the game ends your final score will eventually appear while the demo plays. You'll just need to wait through the game over screens and the title screen.
