2015 Retro Uprising Gaming Champ

[Kong]

2015 Retro Uprising Gaming Champ
This is the same as previous year's 2012 Gaming Champ Contest and 2013 Gaming Champ Contest and 2014 Gaming Champ Contest.

This contest will test everyone across multiple genres and systems to determine the all around best player of 2015.

The person that earns the most points will be crowned the best Retro Uprising gamer of 2015. Click this link to see the automatically updated scores and ranks.

Only scores submitted between February 1, 2015 and February 1, 2016 12:01 AM EST GMT-5 will count. The end date was moved to the end of Jan instead of the first to avoid the holidays.

Only your single best submitted score in each of the games listed below will count.

The Games:

1. Run N' Jump = Alex Kidd in Miracle World
2. Racing = Chase HQ
3. Bullet Hell = DoDonPachi
4. Vs. Fighter = Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story The original Genesis had a an optional 6 button controller. This is one of the few games that supports it. You can enable all six buttons by pressing Tab and then selecting "Categories" then pressing right to change "Joystick 3 Buttons" to "Joystick 6 Buttons".
5. Fixed Shooter = Galaga '88
6. Beat'em Up = Shadow Force
7. Paddle = Small Karat: Gemstone Kingdom World (press F5 + Shift in game to enable the mouse) You can choose any mode except "Player vs Player" and "beginners"
   
8. Puzzle = Star Sweep
9. Sport = Stone Ball
10. Run 'N Gun = Wild West COWBoys of Moo Mesa

The Points:

"Percent" is Your Score divided by First Place's Score times 100 rounded to a whole number. In other words you will gain points just for increasing your score even if you can not beat the score above yours.

For each game you score:

• 1st place = Percent + 100 points
• 2nd place = Percent + 90 points
• 3rd place = Percent + 80 points
• 4th place = Percent + 70 points
• 5th place = Percent + 60 points
• 6th place = Percent + 50 points
• 7th place = Percent + 40 points
• 8th place = Percent + 30 points
• 9th place = Percent + 20 points
• 10th place = Percent + 10 points
• 11th and beyond = Percent + 1 point

Good luck and happy gaming!

If this was covered elsewhere, sorry . . . I just joined RU a couple of months ago. For Small Karat, and other games, do we just do strictly default (player v. computer, middle difficulty, etc.)? Thanks

Small Karat: Gemstone Kingdom World.
Press F5 + Shift in game to enable the mouse.
You can choose any mode except "Player vs Player" and "beginners".

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
The original Genesis had a an optional 6 button controller. This is one of the few games that supports it.
You can enable all six buttons by pressing Tab and then selecting "Categories" then pressing right to change "Joystick 3 Buttons" to "Joystick 6 Buttons".

Just a heads up. My DoDonDapachi score is off. It right now says 5,968,065, and it should be 4,104,690. Being in the lead at the moment it's a bigger deal than usual because I have a few points I shouldn't have.

Hi.

I advise you that the following link in the 2015 leaderboard is false. It leads to the 2014 forum thread instead of 2015.

Cheers.

I noticed this disappeared from the top right, right around when that freaking tournament started. Is this dead, or just on the back-burner?
