Anyone who can beat my 'current' top score for Thunder & Lightning for the NES will be paid $10 via Paypal (or I can purchase something online for you for $10 or less).

Staff can only participate if no one has beat my score within 2 weeks. Staff can still submit scores but they just will not earn the money unless their score is the highest after 2 weeks.

So basically the first person to beat my score gets $10. I plan to do this contest once a month, sorta a way to encourage people to compete for high scores.

EDIT: I didn't go for the highest score I could, I just played the game twice, I could've got a higher score but I didn't want to make it impossible for anyone to beat my score.

yeah I played, beat the score then tried to submit it, but when I clicked compete for highscore, it restarted >.< also, just for future reference I'm curious by what it means when it says "Don't lie about your highscore" how can you lie if you provide a screenshot of the score?

Some people may still input a false score, you'd be surprised at how many idiots are out there, someone has already done this.

You don't click the link to submit a screenshot, you click the link to play for a high score and than you follow the instructions below it.

Is it possible to exchange the money for Viz instead? I would rather have that. There's not much you can get for $10 in the internet.

Well the money would be good if you have paypal or want something little.
I don't know how old you are, but if you don't have a credit card, just get your parents to make a paypal or something.
I believe it's free, though you have to give your credit card number.
If you want the Viz, just donate the $10 which will give you 10,000 Viz.

I'm 28 I have a check card from my bank that I use like a credit card. I don't like using the actual things. I also do have PayPal, but I've used it only a few times several years ago. I only asked about the prize change because I would probably do a lot more with Viz than $10. I suppose I could put the money toward the online game I'm currently playing, but I haven't been on that as much lately.

Well, if you don't want the real money, as I said:
Just donate the $10 to the SNES for 10,000 Viz.
I would swap you if I had a Paypal and if my parents would make one that I could get people to send money to.
Cause I've got plenty of Viz that I barely ever use so $10 would probably do me more good.

Cyro Xero: Yes you can have 10,000 Viz instead

joebab: Actually you can get a paypal account without a credit card or bank account but to active it, you need one of the 2.


Anyways, this contest is now open for all staff members to compete in.

Just the first person. Offer will close as soon as someone does this (but I may open up another offer on another game in the future).

I've been playing it a few times. I've gotten a fairly highscore, but not quite yours yet. I'm still working on it.

edit- just got 59 thousand-something. Had one block left and the dumb ball somehow got past me. That squid in the 2nd level pisses me off. I usually waste two lives with the damn thing around.

Yeah the squid on the 2nd level can be a pain. You pretty much want to get a good item like the one that gives you 3 balls and keeps creating them when you lose them, but of course it's random but I usually focus on trying to hit the submarine as many times as possible so I can get many items, and the free lives really help out too.

For some reason, I can't seem to get that many lives in the early rounds. I don't even know how I got the 70k score I posted up to at least show an attempt at this. Maybe the game just hates me. *shot*

sonikku beat this challenge and requested 10,000 Viz instead of the $10 cash.

I will be making a new challenge shortly.
