This month's competition is for 'Snake Rattle n Roll' for the Nintendo. You can play it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=686

All you have to do is get the highest score in the game. You MUST play the game using the NESCafe emulator and take a screenshot of your top score from that - you HAVE to do a high score run so go half way down the page and to the right where it shows the scores you'll see a link that says 'Click Here to Compete for High Score', click that. Whoever has the highest score when the month ends wins.


Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz


Competition begins now.

Davideo7 : Just one question on this one. Do we only get one submission, or can we change it it if we get a better score later in the month?

rcarter2 : You can make as many submissions as you want.

This is my second submission. Took me longer than the last, but I definitely had fun doing it!


289,100-Died on level 6

rcarter2 : One of my favorite NES Games, Me and a friend of mine used to rent it all the time back in the day,really like the website!!!

Caridia : It was the same thing for my brother and I when we were kids. Rented it all the time but never found a place to buy it. This was one of the first games that I looked for when I found this site

Davideo7 : I just got the new high score!


But I pressed T several times & refresh the RGR page a few times, is there something else I have to do because my score screenshot is not on the page yet!


Don't worry I hadn't exited the game yet!

Awesome-Kid : hey, well it happens to me also.. i think there is problem with the site because it was posted that there is maintenance due to the recent attack...

Is There a Problem with the Game Gear Games or does always take forever to load?

Awesome-Kid : Hopefully it doesn't do to you what it did to me with the score I made before the one I posted. I got over 300,000 and the site was going through maintenance. I didn't close my window, but I couldn't upload it after maintenance was done. I assume it was because the screen was from when it was under maintenance, so it acted as such. So I had to play again. 

It is bad luck to declare victory halfway through the month. Kadorah just came in out of nowhere and smashed the scores. Good job, man.

Ha ha, I can barely even score in the game, let alone get a high score. Oh well, worth a shot.

rcarter2 : - Hey man i mean mate, because i talked to you more than one else in this site (you and another friend), anyway all what i wanted that it doesn't really care who wins, it is just i like competitions and that is because it makes me wants to play (usually i have much more important things and responsibilities to do, so i forget about having some fun playing games), so i hope everyone is ok and having fun in vizzed cause i like vizzed and everyone here, so no hatred and everybody are friends and love each other.

Love and be Beloved.

Kadorah : Hey, it has been a while since I have heard from you. But I'm with you. I'm fine no matter who wins. Everyone who has posted on here has been good sports with this one. But I gotta admit. I saw your score and I played for a few hours strait not to beat your score, but find out how in the heck you got such an awesome score so suddenly. You made me challenge myself to get better at this game. But because I have been playing this one game so much this month, I am probably going to be taking it easy for a couple weeks . Talk to you later

rcarter2 : yea nice to see something from you also, it is quit difficult for me these days, learning in hospital and such, that is why i don't play that much, i had luck that i could barely play the competitions' games. Hope everything is ok with you and you are having fun .
About the game, maybe i didn't need so much time playing as you did, cause i played this game a lot of time in the past when i was a kid (of course on Nes emulator/TV).

If you wonder how i managed to do that , the key is:-

* Learn how to stay alive and not to waste your lives in addition to gaining extra lives through the level.
* Get advantage of any extra time left after sweeping everything on the map.
* Destroy and kick everything that may give you score even when you enter the bonus level you can suck with the hole many objects giving you up to 5000 points.
* When nothing to do, just don't finish the level. if you can, eat up every grain that exits from the pumping machine (except the false bombs).
* Pass all the time eating and when you feel the time is almost over go quickly, finish the level (personally, i finish every level by remaining time=1).

- So answer to your question Radley:- nope i didn't use the ice foot to get the score, i had so much patience that i reached the ice level with so high score that i didn't even need to hit the ice foot except if i wanted extra life and that i even didn't need.
What is really considered a problem is to try achieving the Max score especially you can't see your score except if you loose an extra life (that is why i used the extra lives i talked about before to neutralize the score to the maximum).

If anyone considered in the last day of the competition you can try my strategy , BUT BEWARE:-

1- It is little difficult trying to be skilled in the game some levels kick you to the button so if you get the first game over early (i think you have 8 lives without the extra), just restart the game.
2- You may loose 5 kg hehe (just kidding, personally i gained some extra kilograms due to bosses fights with my girlfriend, or what appears to be lol).

Thanx Radley for the gratz and everything but for me gratz for everyone here cause he knew a way to be happy when he is sad and feels empty, maybe like me. Thanx for all the readers also, if you read my post that means you are a HERO cause i know it is little long like night stories. Sorry.

Yeah. I took a different strategy, but I won't be revealing it until the competition is over. My method has one main requirement. You have to be able to make it to level 10 losing a maximum of 3 lives despite the fact that you pick up 6 extra lives and 2 continues using my method. If you are familiar with level 10, you probably know what I did without me telling you. Haha, but yeah, because I played this game so much this month and because David said I should post beating the final level on youtube, I can now beat this game without using save states, which I never thought I would be able to do when I played this on NES as a kid and when I found this site and looked it up. I put up 2 snapshots of the end, so check it out. If you want to see the final level beaten, look up "Radley beats Ice Foot on Snake Rattle n' roll" on youtube (For those who made it to the level and couldn't figure it out). If the video isn't enough, look up the thread made by David that reviews the game. I explain how to do it. Good luck! 

Competition over, results coming soon.
