Rules

Post screenshots of your scores in this thread, and write your score underneath. You can enter as many times as you like within the round's time frame.

No cheating of any kind (including score leeching) - this includes save states. No continues allowed. If you suspect a contestant of cheating then don't post it in public (anyone who does so will have their posts edited or deleted) - please PM me, Biscuit or mihcael and we will investigate it. If we find anyone guilty of cheating then they will be banned for the entire season.

Please only post your score on either the EAB or Lemon forums. If you have already played this year you have to post your score on the same forum for the whole season. If you are new, the one you post on first will be your "team" for the whole season. However you are welcome to discuss the compo, game etc. on the other forum if you wish.

Remember, anyone can join in at any time. Have fun and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

First game: 514,740
It's more fun than Megaball4 but, hey, it's a classic ;)
Otherwise the Saturn pad is too sensitive to jump, i did better with a Konix joystick :)

Well, the scores are certainly flying in this morning. Methinks this round could be popular.

I wish I could get more involved in these competitons - I havent played Rainbow Islands for Ages! made a nice change

728,280

O any chance anyone:nervous patching second button jump:D

[skateblind]

Horace did that the other day, but I'm not sure if that would be allowed in this competition.

Hi Skate - HH is good like that:) has he released the slave? I just usually prefer second button jump -I dont know if this would be considered cheating im not sure if Rainbow Islands would be easyer like this.

[Graham Humphrey]

Hi Boo Boo, nice to see you around here - hope you are able to participate a bit more often :)

As long as Horace gives the slave a public release in time - so anyone can download and use it - then I say yes, that's perfectly fine; anyway, we let people remap controls in emulators and things if they want to so it stands to reason that would be okay too.

Thanks Graham:) I like haveing a peek at these competitons even if im not involved, the last one I did was Deluxe Pacman and that was good fun. Ill stop messing up your thread now:D

[Graham Humphrey]

No worries, need a bit of activity here, this thread's been a little quiet ;)

Still a lot of entries already though...

1,476,110 no skill, just lucky...

I got a surprising bonus: big bags of 100,000 points fell from the sky (4 or 5) !

The tune is driving me bonkers :crazy

You are extremely lucky... If I were you, I'd play some lottery ;)

[rexsu]

:laughing
In addition it was in a short while where i fell all the time (bad handling) and i've taken easily this bags with right left movements only, without walking or creating rainbows ! :bowdown
But i hope to do a better score, Raibow Island is quite difficult, more difficult than Bubble Bobble or Parasol Stars in my opinion !

[rexsu]

New score for a "new" machine, i put away WinUAE (with my Saturn pad) for a 1200 and a joystick Konix like in the good old days ;)

2,686,690

[rexsu]

3,321,880
I had 7 lives when i arrived at the last world :D
I died 6 times in the first stage (round 25) :guru

[Graham Humphrey]

Just a reminder that this is the final day of the round so not much longer left to get those scores in.

Also, as Lemon is down (again :rolleyes) anybody who is part of Lemon's team and has a new score to post is more than welcome to do it here.

[rexsu]

8,363,270 <-- 4,363,270 + 1 million (all diamonds...i suppose !) + 3 millions (lives remaining)
I'm very happy to have completed this game and more with all diamonds recovered on each island. :lol

[Graham Humphrey]

Show off :cheese

And you have single-handedly won both games for EAB so thanks :D

[rexsu]

For your pleasure :)
This game is one of the most difficult i've played, too difficult in my humble opinion :nuts

[Graham Humphrey]

Another round over... leaderboards and new rounds to follow soon and stuff...
