An open challenge - beat my score

**kiwinavega** · 10-12-2011, 04:15 PM

Hello all,

Many apologies if this is not allowed, or is the wrong place for the thread. Hopefully a mod can help me out.

Anyway. I've had the top score for a game called Teddy Boy for a couple of years now but I don't know if the score is any good as I think I'm the only one who plays it.

I loved the game as a kid (I got the game with my SMS, first console game I ever owned!) and it has brilliant gameplay, even today. It's a lot of fun.

I'd like to issue an open challenge. If anyone can beat my score - and I hope someone does - there will be a small prize available (if this is allowed). I'd love to have a target to aim for and I also hope that people can enjoy this game as much as I've enjoyed it over the years.

Doesn't look like a game I'd enjoy playing but I'm sure others will gladly give your high score some competition. Just remember you asked for it!

**kiwinavega** · 10-12-2011, 04:29 PM

It's a great little shooter, dude!

I hope people do take it on, it would be great to have a little more motivation to try and improve. I'm not a great gamer so fully expect it to go pretty soon.

BTW I haven't forgotten our fascinating discussion elsewhere. I'll pick it up when I'm thinking more clearly

I watched a youtube video of it and it really looks kinda boring to me, no offense. Btw I see Tanc already playing it, didn't take long huh?

Since we're issuing open challenges I got one too. Or two, too.
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Dragon Crystal
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Dragon Crystal
So far only Kong has showed any interest in beating it but I think he might've given up.

Take your time I'm not going anywhere.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I played it for a little while, but lost interest.

**joz** · 10-13-2011, 12:50 PM

Meh, I got bored fast. Maybe Elrod will take it down. He doesn't care how boring a game is so long as he gets the gold.

**kiwinavega** · 10-13-2011, 04:48 PM

Really surprised you guys didn't like it! The later levels (from six onwards) get a lot more interesting.

**joz** · 10-13-2011, 04:57 PM

All right, I'll give it another go tomorrow then.

**Tails** · 10-13-2011, 05:08 PM

I looked at it on youtube, not that keen on it.

I didn't give up. I'm working on Gain Ground now. I will do a couple other Assassin Contest scores after that and then
try Dragon Crystal again. I want to master it.

Here's a score I want some competition in.
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Speed Attack!

As Kiwi said "I don't know if the score is any good as I think I'm the only one who plays it"

**Dudebro** · 10-13-2011, 06:11 PM

I want to master it too. Btw you can't be part of my challenge. Since you dominated Taloons I know DC is only a matter of time. Even if you master and get first in both versions it won't count for this, sorry.

**Seahawk** · 10-13-2011, 10:27 PM

Hey I've got an awesome game nobody has beaten me on, and it's been a year since anybody has posted a score.

Play it.

**Dudebro** · 10-13-2011, 10:29 PM

Looks like even the devs didn't like the game, URL has all the scores and they're all 0s.

**Seahawk** · 10-13-2011, 10:38 PM

Holy crap.....

Ok, serious moment here.

On 10/13/10, 9:08PM I posted the last high score for that game....I haven't even looked at the game since.

Exactly one year later, on 10/13/11, 10:27PM I made a joke about the getting the high score, without realizing it. I even played a round for fun.

Should I be afraid?

**Dudebro** · 10-13-2011, 10:41 PM

If it was the same down to the minute then I'd be afraid.

**elrod21** · 10-13-2011, 11:16 PM

You are not suckering me into playing that game again anytime soon SH! But if I ever decide I want to torture myself, I will play it again.

As for Teddy Boy, I will have a look but I remember hating this game when I played it on my SMS way back when.

I'll be honest - I've been tempted to go back to it a few times - then I remember the pain!

**Seahawk** · 10-14-2011, 01:34 AM

I wasn't serious guys.

Trust me, 8 loops is not worth it.

When I look at the score board for that game, I notice that all the scores were submitted in a period of 4 days. This surprises me because it felt more like 4 months with all the effort put into that game.

When it was finally over I felt that if I ever fell into hell I could negotiate my release with Satan by demonstrating a pro run of Speed Coin and coaching him how to play like a champ. For serious.

Now that I've figured out the controls, I'll give this an honest try.

**kiwinavega** · 10-15-2011, 05:14 PM

I gave Speed King a try. After struggling to figure out how I was supposed to control the cards I thought it was a good, fun game. Simple games often are.

My score was only 34k or so, nothing special, but I enjoyed it and that's what it's all about!
