Rules:
Alright I thought up this game that I thought would be fun here. I will post a score from a game along with a screen shot. Then you try and beat that score. If you beat it post a screen shot and then you pick a game to post a high score of. The next person can either beat the high score of your new game or my original game. When they do that they will pick a new game and the person after that can beat any of the previous high scores. So on and so forth till we have a list of scores to beat.

This top post will have all the current high scores for all the games currently going along with the poster who currently holds the record.

-The games should be limited to NES, SNES, and Genesis because anyone's computer can run them and they are easy enough to find. If you guys want, whenever you post a new game, email the rom to me and I will host it on my site so anyone can download it. Also, if you are playing it on the real console then just take a picture of the screen and post that.

- You don't have to beat the game, just the score posted.

- The game must be the same version, no ports (see Hardkore's SMB vs SMAS post)

- Don't be an asshole and cheat with game genie or by using save states, this is meant to be fun.

- Say was difficulty you are playing on and if you want to venture into classic sports games as well say what teams you use.

- If you need an emulator go here. (http://www.zophar.net/windos.phtml) All the games up at the top should be linked to roms

I hope this will be fun for everyone and good luck.

I will post the first score and screenshot in a minute.

[MrMeJW]

I will start this off real easy just to get the game rolling. The picture came out kind of haggard because I took it with my cell phone in a dark room but you get the idea.

Super Mario Brothers - NES - 155150

[AareDub]

[MrMeJW]

No its 155150... its very easy to beat.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Shit, I'll post a Kid Chamleon score in like 12 hours :D

[Penner]

do you have to beat the game to show your score

[OssMan]

none of the emulators will download.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

none of the emulators will download.
try www.vg-network.com then

[MrMeJW]

do you have to beat the game to show your score
No, just beat the existing score.

[road doggy dogg]

Sounds hottttttt

Gonna go hook up my NES and do it up. :cool: I'll take a pic with my digicam if I beat it

[MVP]

Does it count on Mario All-Stars?

[MrMeJW]

I would assume the scoring is the same, so sure

[road doggy dogg]

Okay well assuming All-Stars is okay (my NES is still very glitchy, hard to get a game to run for longer than 20 mins), I went through Super Mario Bros. 1 just now. Actually I was getting really lazy and died at 8-3, lol. Oh well, the extra 10,000 from Bowser wouldn't really matter. Anywho:

Screenshot of my TV. :o Would've taken it of just the score but it's kinda small so I figured I'd just get the important stuff. I didn't use Game Genie or anything, or even any of the lame tricks like in 3-1 with the turtle shell (more of a 1-up thing, but you still get like 15k every time you do it), so yeah.

RDD YOU NOB.

[road doggy dogg]

[road doggy dogg]

Damn, I wish N64 games counted. My Luigi Raceway track time on Mario Kart 64 is teh pwn. I'll see what other good NES games I can find though :rant:

[road doggy dogg]

I'm too lazy to hook up my camera and all right now, but I'll take a pic of my Super Metroid high score. :rant: I think my time was 2:47 with 100% items found, but I'll get the pic to confirm :o

[Penner]

wait
do i have to beat one of RDD's scores or something

[Penner]

so the thing is, i beat one of those scores, and then post one of my own?

[MrMeJW]

so the thing is, i beat one of those scores, and then post one of my own? Yes so then there will be 2 of your scores up and 1 of RDD's and the next person has to beat one of those 3

Alright, now that you beat a score you get to post a new game with a new score.

List of differences between SMB1 and SMA*

-Mario/Luigi start with 5 lives instead of 3.
-There is theme music on the title screen (it's a remix of the water world music.)
-In two player mode, when one person finishes a level, the other person gets to play;
in the original version the other person got to play only when the first person lost
a life. This change is makes the game a lot more fair!
-In the "More Difficult Quest" there is a star next to the world number indicating that
you are playing the second quest.
-Mario and Luigi seem to jump a bit differently. This shows when you are performing the
100+ life trick in level 3-1 (see other FAQ's for that).
-Toad comes out of a bag when you beat the castle instead of just standing there. He also
appears with some mushroom friends (the higher the world you are in, the more friends appear
with him.)
-There is new bonus music for the underground bonus areas (and the sky bonus areas, too).
There is also a picture of Mario or Luigi giving a "peace" sign.
-Mario/Luigi gives a "peace" sign while going down pipes.
-The underground music is changed to SMB3 underground music (it actually has a rhythm).
-The "Minus One" World can not be found in this game. If you try to perform the trick, as
soon as you get to the other side of the wall, it will say "Welcome to the Warp Zone."
There is no way you can make it in the pipe fast enough.
-In castles that are mazes, the game gives off a little "ding" sound if you are going the
right way. If you are going the wrong way, the game gives of a "dud" sound.
-In the original version, Mario/Luigi made a different jumping sound when they were big
compared to when they were small. In this game, the sound is the same whether they are
big or small.
-Mario/Luigi give a "peace" sign as they enter castles.
-Mario/Luigi enter the second door in the castle unlike in the original where they enter in
the first door.
-Bowser is bigger (he looks like the one from SMB3).
-There is a "Boss Theme" for when you fight Bowser. (There is also a "Final Boss Theme" for
world 8-4).
-Bowser falls into the lava (you actually SEE him falling in).
-Princess Toadstool looks normal (in size).
-The ending is slightly different (I won't spoil it, but it's not much).
-You can't press "B" to select a world (as princess says in the end of the original version).
-Luigi is in green overalls instead of white.
-Luigi is a bit taller in this game.
-Mario is a bit fatter in this game (this is not a bad thing....).
-In the original game, world 6-3 was all white (snow?). In this game it is normal colors.
-After you beat the game, it restarts the game in the "More Difficult Quest". In the
NES version, it returns to the title screen.
-In World 8-4, there is a part when you go underwater. In the NES version, it plays the
Underwater Music, but in this version, it continues to play the castle music.

-You can no longer pause the game from controller 1 when Luigi is playing.
-When you start a level the screen now shows a little box with all the different types
of enemies in the level


-Mario looks completely different - he doesn't look so "blocky".

-When a shell is kicked in the NES version, the sound it makes when it hits
all the enemies is the same. But in SMAS, it gets higher and higher pitched
as it gets closer to 1-up. Taken from SMW.
-Hammer Brothers now make noises when they throw hammers.
-Podoboos make noises when they leap from lava, just like in SMW.

Thanks HardKore, I am going to let the current high score stand because the score that I first posted was simple and both RDD and Hired Hitman would beat it with ease just becasue of the level they got to. From now on we will have to play the exact same version of the game, not ports.

The score chart at the top of the thread has been changed

[road doggy dogg]

Oh okay, that's fine :o

Hot scoooore hitmannn. I'll have to hook up my NES to punk you out though :rant:

Well Hitman's score was in All-Stars so we will just stick with that

[OssMan]

what is a good site for roms? I tried the one that you gave in the original post but I can't find any roms on it...

[Hired Hitman]

Alright, Ms. Pac-man

Any game that is already in the contest has a link up at the top, for any other rom search peer to peer programs like kazza or download them from suprnova.org

[MrMeJW]

Alright, Ms. Pac-man

http://members.optusnet.com.au/jamessibley/tpww/mspacman_score.jpg Is that the SNES version?

[Penner]

Yeah it's the SNES Version.

[road doggy dogg]

Uhhh shit I just realized there's no real way to prove the time/item % for Super Metroid (it shows your time on the main screen, then shows the % after you've beaten the game)

I could take two pics, but that wouldn't really seem legitimate enough. So you might as well take down that score and I'll find a different game :mad:

My last death was the dumbest thing ever. I started rushing and hit the block for a star. I assumed I jumped high enough to grab the star and ran into one of those black shelled things. :|
