Disclaimer: Sabby and I designed this contest. We selected the games last minute and did not practice them at all. We selected the games based on #1: bug free as far as we know, #2: games that had zero scores submitted, #3: games that we know are fun or have good reviews/ratings, #4: a cross selection of as many systems and genres as possible.
Because lots of these games are newly added and not fully tested it is possible that you will discover a bug in the game. If you do find a bug, please report it and we will try to fix it or adjust the rules accordingly ASAP.
The contest starts now. So get going!

Hints:
You do not have to play every game to win. The winner will simply have the
most 1st place scores. We purposefully tried to select games from multiple genres so if you are not good at one particular game style try look for games you are good at and focus there.
To submit NES scores press T then double click Submit.
For all other systems right click the screen and select Submit Score.
Your score must be on the screen when you submit it or it wont count.
There are two known bugs that you should be aware of. For non-NES games, the keyboard might be unresponsive or the game might pause. If this happens right click the game and select Change Controls. Then click OK or Cancel. The game should play normal after doing that. This bug is usually caused by switching to a different window while playing the game and then returning.
Playing several games in a row can cause new games to not load or work properly or cause a repeating sound loop. To fix this close all open browser windows. Wait 10 seconds and then try again. This happens more often with Turbo Grafx-16 games than with the other systems.
Some games have hints posted in the game's discussion page or under Articles->Tips in the top main menu. Shinobi is the only game in this contest that I am aware of that has a tip's page. But there might be others that I have forgotten about.
