Your job, should you choose to participate, is to listen to 1-5 notes of a song and properly name the game the song goes to.
This contest will begin with the first show of 2013 and will continue until August 2013. The scores will be tallied and the winner will be announced.
Prizes:
1 copy of Drakken (by request of Don. Blame him)
1 copy of X
1 copy of X
X will be 2 games to be determined later. We are unsure if they will be 2 pre-determined games, or if we will just have the winner pick from a pool of games.
Listeners can help us decide by voicing their input in this thread.
At the end of each show several sound clips containing 1-5 notes of a song will be played. Your objective is to correctly name the game (as the game is printed on the cartridge/CD/box/etc).
Rules:
No abbreviations or short hand. Answers must read as they do on the box/cart/CD. Spell check your work!
We are going to be dicks with this. Syphen filter will fail. Syphon Filter is correct. The answers won’t be case sensitive, but do yourself a favor, capitalize when needed. There may be bonus points. ALWAYS ASSUME BONUS POINTS!
In the event of conflicting game titles such as the Final Fantasy series, The 1st generation North American version is the correct answer.
Scoring:
The default scoring system is as follows
2 points for naming the game
Possible points per sound bite, 2 points.
Bonus points:
Occasionally bonus points will be awarded. They may be hidden, to be revealed when someone stumbles upon them, or in the form of something else (to be announced during the show).
Once the show is released, you have Five (5) days from the date of posting to submit your answers. Entries after this period will be rejected.
Entries MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA E-MAIL!
Scores will be kept track of via the forums
If there is a tie, then a trivia round will be held via Skype.
I refuse to enter this contest on the grounds that in the unlikely event that i win i would probably have to visit ye olde pawn shoppe just to buy the damn console the cartridge is for.
that being said, i look forward to the next ep. you guys are entertaining. Funniest retro podcast i know. so don’t host links to better ones, and my laziness will ensure this is the only one i listen to.
We are okay with this.
But most carts anymore and collected, not played. Most have turned into collectors items, roms and emulators used instead.
contest is too easy, piece o cake
And with odds based off previous contest, how could you lose!?
(Statement is for entertainment purposes only and is not an indicator of victory)
International contest or america only?
Mostly. North american, Most of Asia and it’s islands, Europe, and most of Oceania are good. All other areas will have to be decided upon later. If there are sanctions in place against a country, then obviously we cant mail to it. ALso, some countries restrict certain items from enter their country.
