Shit you lot, there's a day to go and I'm up to my neck unable to play! Give me a chance to catch up!

I'll do the table when I've done my edit.

Navy Seals for the win! Seriously, it's a polished Ocean platformer meets Dinamic style hardness.

Apologies. Busy week here. Now fixed on the first page.

Joans wins!

Joans please pick the next game. You know the rules. CPC, Speccy or C64 and you can't have played it for 10 years (new rules only come into effect for the next season).

Will update the table when other work is done!

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8653

Oh crap, when do I have to pick one by?

When the previous one ended so about 2 and a bit hours ago.

Asap after the result. So now basically.

Although the unwritten rule is that I'll leave it before morning before forcing you all to play something by Dinemic.

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8653

Er, ok. Can I say Beach Head on the spectrum (that had scoring didn't it?)
I'll sort out some links in the morning. Sorry.

If someone else wants to pick something due to my crapness then that's ok.

OK it does have a high score table. But when I went to enter my name it just skipped back to the menu. So no grab.

31600 as a starter. Can't seem to sink the ships on this one whereas on the CPC version I recall doing it with ease.

I struggled with the ship part as well on this - been ages since i've played beach head - although i seem to remember BH2 was the better game.

So, I've only just come to play this and noticed there's a skill level - is everyone leaving it on easy?

We look forward to the next 8 Bit Challenge which starts shortly. Huzzah!

Speaking of which would it be better if we started the next round so it ends 6pm on Fridays?

chinnyhill10 · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 15695

Is it Wednesday today? It's not is it?

Have I just closed the challenge a day early?

Er, I'm confused.

Runcle · **Posted:** Tue Feb 10, 2009 20:40

I think so.

Fuck it. If anyone complains I'll reopen it or just blame it on Craster.

I am not with it this week.

Runcle · **Posted:** Tue Feb 10, 2009 20:51

ah man ive just played it, 40k on the dot.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Feb 10, 2009 21:10

I just got 40,001. This is an outrage.*

Played 2, won 2. I probably should have joined in earlier.

I did play a few of the earlier ones, but I was rubbish.

Sorta

I had no time at the start of this, but 4 of the last 5 I've come in the top 2.
