Shadow Fire Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Gamemaster: Shadow Fire REMAINING TIME TIME HAS EXPIRED! You are all hereby challenged to play Astro Warrior.Astro Warrior is one of MANY space shooter games that was released in the 80s. However, it is unlike many games, in that it doesn't actually end (unless you have the version that was combined with "Hang On", in which case you just play the levels 3 times and then the game ends). You start in Galaxy Zone, before defeating the boss and proceeding to Asteroid Zone, where upon defeating this level's boss, proceed to Nebula Zone. Upon beating the third boss, you start back at Galaxy Zone, which is laid out identically as the beginning, but getting harder and harder. CONTENTS The download pack will contain the following: [*]Astro Warrior [*]A copy of the rules and some info [*]A text file, titled after the game, for completion time/score/date to be recorded, along with any comments you wish to provide. You will need an emulator that can run SEGA Master System games. You can find two good ones in the download system. RULES There will be a few rules in place to allow for a fair go: [*]You must play through from the start, until... well... you lose all your ships. You are permitted only ONE playthrough. [*]The clock must be initiated upon pressing START, stopping only once you get a GAME OVER. [*]No save states are to be used. [*]Once you reach GAME OVER, you must record how long you lasted, as well as your final score. [*]No game guides are permitted to be used, aside from the original instruction manuals which can be found online. [*]Sound must be enabled, and playing clearly for you. For the best experience, the music and sounds are necessary. [*]External controllers are permitted, to make things easier (or harder, depending on your setup). [*]Do not post your times here. Instead, send me a PM with the provided text files, subject name being Astro Warrior Challenge. The community challenge will have a deadline: 10:00PM on December 18, 2012 (Australian Eastern Standard Time). You can use an online timezone converter to find out when exactly that is in your timezone, or simply look at the provided countdown timer above. PRIZE The person with the longest overall time, and highest overall score will be awarded with a prize, which will be determined upon selection of the winner. CONTENDERS [*]DeathBasket [*]Naxylldritt [*]Nero and his Hotsauce [*]ZethN64 (WINNER) DOWNLOAD To download the pack and get started, click here.Download, and enjoy! Good luck!

Shadow Fire Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Maybe if I announce that the prize will be some as yet unreleased URA Expansion stuff I'm working on, which will be rendered useless if you or any of the other URA team members win. C'mon, people! Get your head in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I sadly have to drop out. I will more than likely be able to participate in the next one, though. -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web. Or my cellphone, if you prefer.

Shadow Fire Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am pleased to announce the winner of the Astro Warrior Community Challenge: ZethN64 Once again, Zeth takes out another win. Now, this one is unique, due to the amount of time he spent in order to get this far. Upon reaching each level's boss, which is done in about a minute or so time, he then spent a while learning their patterns, and then dodging them as they began their kamikaze run towards him. Sadly, he did not manage to defeat Belzebul at the end of Nebula Zone, and ended up losing all 3 lives on that one boss. I lol'd. Belzebul was the easiest boss for me to beat. Anyway, the times and scores for each contender are as follows: RANK MEMBER TIME SCORE LEVEL REACHED 1 ZethN64 0:15:23 117300 Nebula Zone - P1 2 Nero and his Hotsauce 0:03:10 60800 Asteroid Zone - P1 3 DeathBasket 0:03:14 59200 Asteroid Zone - P1~UNCONFIRMED~ 4 Naxylldritt 0:03:44 45200 Asteroid Zone - P1 Well done, and thank you to the participants. For now, challenges are suspended, and I will make some more after the busy Christmas/New Year period. Until then, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
