Retrogaming contest week 1 : Aero fighters - 1 Steem Basic Income entry to win !
Hello, welcome to this first round of the Retrogaming contest. Each week (if there are challengers), I will give you a "good old game" to play, and you'll try to get the highest score.
For this first edition, I will give the winner an entry to the Steem Basic Income project, which ensures a systematic upvote for each member. If there are enough contestants, and rewards, prizes will grow up...
This week game is :
Aero fighters
How to enter ?
- First, download a Mame emulator for Windows, or Mac. It's a portable application (at least for Windows) so it doesn't need any installation.
- Second, download Aero Fighters rom, and put the zip file (still compressed) in the Roms folder of the Mame emulator directory.
- You're ready to play !
The rules are simple :
1 credit only. The goal is to get the highest score with this credit. Note you don't have to go far in the game, only the score will be taken into account !
You will have to record the whole gaming session and prove on it you recorded it specifically for the contest. (You can even record it with a smartphone, but don't forget to let us see your score !).
Finally, upload your video to DTube or Dlive with the tag #mamecontest. You can also let a comment here with the link of your video.
The prize
The winner will win an entry to the Steem Basic Income project, which ensures a lifetime upvote for each of his Steemit posts. And if you win one more time, your income will grow up. And so on.
Want to sponsor the contest for future editions ?
At the beginning prizes won't be huge, my tailor is rich, I'm not ! But you can upvote this post to help the future prizes grow up. For this first edition, only the best will win a SBI entry, but next there may be several winners, or STEEM or SBD to win. Dolphins, orcas or whales are also welcome if they want to help !
Feel free to upvote, comment and resteem this post, and good luck !
Hey @sebbbl
I think your contest is underrated and when I read your post some days ago I immediately downloaded Aero Fighters - after 2 or 3 training sessions to get the controls right I gave it a go with a video. It didn't work at first, neither did the upload on DTube or DLive for that matter - but I tried again today and after some time managed to do it (still miserable score and quality but much better than my best try before).
So here it is - my average video of me miserably failing Aero Fighter:

Hope you have as much fun watching it as I had playing! :-)
Nicely done ! Hope there will be more people indeed. I totally agree it's underrated !
For what it's worth, I like vertical scrolling shooters a lot. Maybe people were uncomfortable with the idea of downloading the rom?
Maybe... Never mind, if there are no entry in the contest, the SBI share will be for someone else !
Yeah, they will still find it useful!

There was a documentary on the Tetris World Championships called Ecstasy of Order (http://watch.ecstasyoforder.com/) that provided a fascinating insight into some of the great stories behind the people whose lives were changed by the game and how their paths crossed. A really interesting idea for a contest and I hope more people jump on the idea :)
