GimmeClassics

We congratulate ExedExes for winning The Christmass Comp 2015 !! (way too late...sorry about that ) and Rtkiii for claiming second place and Millerbrad winning the bronze medal (results) Thank you all for participating and we hope to see you back next Christmass..!!

The list of our Game of the Month Winners has been updated Way too late...I know

Updated Leaderboard. ...sorry guys...it has been a while

It's always special to beat the 100K barrier on such a classic game ! Nice job smario ! Now try to aim for 150K The DK master of GX I hope I'll be able to beat 200K one day Updated Leaderboard

All I can say is ... thank you ! I'm glad you're part of our HS Team. I've absolutely noticed you've been updating our boards and I really appreciate it !! I hate the fact I'm not spending as much time on our competition as before. It's partly because I've had a rough time and partly because I've prioritezed a few things in my life. I've met a very nice girl not too long ago. I'm very happy right now but - as you probably all know - it's also taking a lot of time and energy starting a relationship It will absolutely not disappear ! More info below You've been part of our competition from the start and I appreciate your involvement. Thank you Rich for your enthusiasm and I really hope you'll stick with us And thank you for offering your help designing our banners ! I'm thinking of re-designing some stuff so I could definitely use your help. Especially keeping banners / medals up to date. Again, more info below It's great to hear you're having a blast here at our HS competition. You're one of our most enthusiastic players ! It means a lot to me you're always posting scores - even when our competition perhaps is going through a rough patch ! Thank you MO for your involvement and you're willingness to help us out keeping ths great competition going ! ExedExes....our hi-score king ! I've said it before...but I absolutely appreciate the fact you're part of our HS competition ! I really hope you'll stick with us. Good luck @ the Yolympics !! As for our Hi-score competition... I'm still very motivated to keep things going !! Thank you Han for all the praises...it really means a lot ! I've started this competition because I'm really in love with the Classic Arcade Scene ! That will never change. Involving awards / medals for achieving a pre-determined scoring plateau and medals for winning a GOTM competition is still something I really want to incorporate in our competition. However, I do want to prevent making promises right I can't keep...It's important keeping things manageable ! Creating a poll, designing a banner, declaring monthly winners, updating tables / databases, keeping the games list, GOTM winners list up to date together with introducing 1 to 2 new games per month is too much perhaps. It sure is right now... So where to go from here ? * GOTM competition. I do think we should keep this but perhaps not on a montly basis. Perhaps every 3 months and 2 or 3 holiday comps... I'm not sure if February is too soon. I'd like to have a new competition upcoming March ! * I'd really like to update the design of our GOTM winner banners...working our way to all icon-based awards. Designing this and finding a good way to manage this is still taking some time ! I'd like to accept Rich's offer to help us out. If he wants to of course ! * updating the Christmas comp, our Leaderboard, declaring Millerbrad as our winner, designing a winner banner, updating our GOTM winners list and Games List will still take some time I'm afraid. I'll update it as soon as I can ! Sorry about that Millerbrad and Ex So, again...it perhaps doesn't look like it...but I'm still very motivated to manage this competition and play our games of course ! Not being around too much will never mean I've lost interest ! I hope I kind of explained the reason of not being around as much as I want to. Thank you all for sticking around !! It means a lot

You rock man !! The Shmupper King of GameEx !!

First of all...I want to apologize for not being around updating our Christmas Comp !! I'v had a lot on my mind this month....both personal stuff (good stuff btw ) and a very busy month at work. I have a financial job and at the end of the year there is a lot of stuff to do !!! Thanks for those having submitted scores so far !! There's still some time left btw > Countdown link I've updated all our boards with the scores below. Gameboards > post #25 - #30 Leaderboard > post #1
