[Tails]

I have no control over that, reading what the arcade says for game mods.

it says GMT -4 for me. I am in EDT.

think contest was based on central so GMT-5 would be correct.

for future contests we definitely need a specific timezone picked...perhaps somce global participants we just use GMT...with no zone correction.

[Barra]

Yeah GMT is the easiest to use.

[FudgyDRS]

I prefer GMT/UTC over specific time zones because of daylight savings.

And for referance:

GMT -4 = AST
GMT -5 = EST
GMT -6 = CST (GMT -5 = CDT)
GMT -7 = MST
GMT -8 = PST

Congrats TRB. Nicely done!

[RevJ]

Dare I say UTC is better than GMT? Sort of like Greenwich time but with a bit of a Star Trekky flavour?

Even better is to have a universally accessible website that makes it clear what the 'time' is, such as a "Time Remaining" link (which MARP has for the current comp) or a website, such as Facts and current local time for UTC - Time.is

In any case, awesome show by TRB! It seems there has been an influx of very skilled gamers lately, pwning gamers like me.

I accidentally set the time zone to +6 instead of - 6. Sorry. Fixed.

TRB won by a long shot. Amazingly well played. Which prize would you like?

There was that time remaining thing before, unfortunately it was listed like: "402,438 seconds remain". It was annoying for someone like me who is horrible at math, but it was better than the random time zone thing.

I'm kind of shocked I held on to 4 of my 5 flags

[CatalystiCam]

Held onto most of my flags for a while. Doesn't really help when I stopped playing.

Could have taken Bucky 'o' Hare back, no doubt
Dinocity, my computer overheats before I could even beat my own score, but I could have taken it back maybe
Ikari III would be a bit trickier
Super EDF I could have extended if need be
Super Off Road was just a write off, hate the SNES version.

[kernzy]

i'm annoyed i could not get super space invaders back from sawys.
i chose game gear by mistake, should have been mame.
well done to Rod.
no cigars for us!!

[FudgyDRS]

At least I found a really awsome game out of this, Photograph Boy, I think I'm going to try and beat it, but I haven't gotten past level 5, the museum has alot of projectiles.

[kernzy]

"awesome", you say?
personally, i thought it was awful. 1/10.
maybe i did not play it enough?

[FudgyDRS]

This game proves itself to be both challenging and creative, by creating intricate obstacles and quirky moments to take pictures of.

[kernzy]

yeah, i remember it being different, i even had that flag for a week!
never played Turbo Grafx-16 before. when was it released?

[FudgyDRS]

I never heard of the game then either, besides I never really liked the TurboGrafix, and I only owned the TurboExpress handheld and the games I had were bad.

Between NES and Genesis. It had several odd games.

[kernzy]
