I've already created an Arena thread for the Cowboys Vs. Aliens Halloween Bash. It's looking pretty sweet if you ask me You can check it here. The game list is of course subject to change based upon the outcome of our poll. Please cast your vote at the top of this thread @ Darren / Han / Adultery: I've already created entries for the six contest games in our DBM. @ Draco: is it perhaps possible for you to promote this contest in the general forum ? ~ GC

A big thank you again for Wolfman having co-organized IGBY 2 !! I want to thank each GameEx member who has has participated and of course I hope to see you back next year !! I'm now closing this thread.

Wow, thanks man ! Much appreciated 6 games in one month is perfect I think. Just enough time to really give each game a good chance and being able to improve on each game.

I've added a POLL to the top of this thread to help you guys make a selection of the Cowboy Vs. Aliens games. For more info on the short list I've created please click here Thanks in advance ~ GC

Quoting myself....that's weird Anyway....I've done some testing. Here are my results: * A few games are not present at TG's database, so I'd say skip those: Boot Hill, Sheriff and Wild Gunman * A few games don't have in-game High score screens, so I'd say skip those: Space Invaders * A few games are already part of our main comp, so I'd say skip those: Gun.Smoke, Blood Bros. and Robotron: 2084 * A few other games have funky / weird controls, so I'd say perhaps skip those: Badlands, Cheyenne (lightgun), Wild Western. I think the games should work for all contestants - either using gamepads, X-Tanks or keyboard / mouse etc. But I've done some quick testing. Maybe one of these games could work after all. >>>> Considering the above this could be a selection of games for Cowboy Vs. Aliens 2015: COWBOYS: Ironhorse, Express Raider, Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa and Sunset Riders ALIENS: Asteroids or Space Fury, Defender or Stargate, Alien Storm and Alien Syndrome I think we should make a choice between either Asteroids or Space Fury and Defender or Stargate. Perhaps it's also a good idea to bring the total no. of games back to 6 (3 games for both Cowboys and Aliens). Let me know what you guys think. @ Draco: you've created a very nice banner. Thank you ! Cheers ! ~ GC

Hello Han, I'm willing to step up to the plate for this contest and help you out. Perhaps it's a good idea to have a smaller selection of games compared to the Monster Bash Contest of last year. I'll check the suggested games and post a possible short list for October's Contest 2015. If you guys agree of course ~ GC

Wow ! Both MO and Ex have really pushed the boundaries on this game. Nice job you guys @ Han / Darren: I've updated the General Leaderboard. Updated LB

Wow Darren ! I couldn't have said it any better ! You're more than welcome Garetmax to join us at any comp here at GameEx !
