Beginning t' see a pattern here? that be 'cause I've themed the month - Capcom shmups for the NES.

pillage in scores by the 28th, bluh bluh ye know the drill.

Good Luck 'n safe flying!

Took me a while t' find another good Capcom shooter on NES. Good being subjective here, though.

Watch out though - yer score be also yer money so don't spash out too much unless ye intend t' lag behind.

Screenies in by the 28th as per usual. Good luck!

This game be an interesting curio mainly because it went unreleased for twenty years, thanks t' NOAs' "six-games-a-year" policy.

Game's available here, along with ten other unreleased oddities: http://www.lostlevels.org/wordpress/2007/11/08/virtual-console-alternatives/

Post scores by the 28th 'n I wish ye all the best a luck!

ye know the drill, take a screenshot a yer highest scores 'n pillage them in before the 6th.

Use the US version a the game, but if ye can't be arsed looking it out, play it on vNES:

Good Luck!

Edit: TIME EXTEND

Deadline pushed back t' 28th, 'n all four games be available for postings.

YARRRR, I be chasing this unholy cluster*crag* behemoth again.

Let's face it, this year's competition be frankly a bit shit, 'n by a bit I mean "everyone quit". As a consequence, I be revamping the whole damn thing: scoring system, game choices, everything.

I guess this be also the signup topic, then. If ye want in then post, I dunno, a picture a sunglasses below. The games start in February 'n end in November, so this'll be a pretty gruelling contest. t' all entering, good luck.

Four games will be played each month a the competition, all ending on the 28th. I choose the first four, then the person in last place gets t' pick four games for the subsequent month.

For each game chosen, whoever picked it must post the options that the other players must use. For a score t' be accepted, a screenshot must be provided. it be only fair after all.

Scoring:

Each month will have different point values for the games:

• February = 6
• March = 8
• April = 10
• May = 12
• June = 14
• July = 16
• August = 18
• September = 20
• October = 30
• November = 50

Highest score wins the full points,  second place gets half points, third place a quarter, fourth 'n fifth receive one point, everyone else gets nil.

Players who miss a game receive nothing.

'n BY ROBOT I MEAN "CHRISTMAS SWAG"
