Contest 1: Cho Ren Sha 68K
This is a pretty basic high score contest based off Cho Ren Sha, which is a great, but extremely difficult shmup. The objective is simple: Get the highest score you can and send it in! We will need two different screenshots, one of the high scores screen and one of an in-game shot of your game over from your high scoring game displaying your current and high score in the corner (they should match). Getting screenshots out of games like this is pretty easy: just hit "Print Screen" and paste it into any application. Actually, I use GrabClipSave which dumps printscreens right into a file.
Once you have your screenshots, mail them to joeteed@giantrobeast.com and I will keep track of your score. Highest score by midnight Sept 3rd (2005, obviously) wins a copy of Layer Section on CD. It's a classic shmup so you should at least try to submit an entry!
Cho Ren Sha 68K can be downloaded here, and if you need GrabClipSave it's right here.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing your entries!
