GameEx High Score Competition!!!

[hansolo77]

Hey all, I've been pretty quite over here lately because I've been busy moderating our High Score Competition and chatting it up in the Social Club.  But I thought I'd swing over here real quick, and post up a quick little advertisement about our High Score Competition.  I realize this forum section is mostly dedicated to support, but there are threads in here not directly related to that, and this would fit in.  This forum is active every day with new users joining in and seeking advice on setting up their installations.  Not every body that visits here is aware there are OTHER forums here as well, so I'd like to take this opportunity to first of all welcome you to the wonderful world of GameEx, and secondly to direct your attention over to our subforums..  Namely and specifically, the Competition one.

This forum was set aside so that GameEx users like you can play against other GameEx users and submit their scores for tracking in a High Score Competition.  Our RULES are simple (1 credit/1 game, set your DIPs to match a world-set standard, and post a screenshot).  We currently have 109 games that are actively supported, as well as monthly featured competitions.  You're not limited to just posting scores in the GOTM (Game of the Month), and posting scores on games we played years ago can be beneficial to the Overall Leaderboard.  Yes that's right!  We have a game-specific leaderboard, and a global leaderboard that calculates your position across all the games you've played and lets you see how you stack up against everybody else.

The competition has been fading out as of late.  Not really sure why, perhaps it's a lack of interest in the games we offer, or it's a time factor where nobody has time to play.  But that's the beauty of our competition.. you can play and submit scores on ANY game ANY time.  The GOTM is just a featured game that we're showcasing.  Having the highest score there doesn't impact anything, other than getting your name added to a separate board, and a signature badge (currently unavailable as our artist is AWOL but assures me will be back).  A new user who's never submitted a score with us can easily move up the ranks.  In fact, our lowest score on the overall board is 30.  That's equivalent to a submission of 3 games with the lowest possible score, or one game with a placement of 8.  So by simply playing 4 games, you'll already move up a spot!  By having better than the lowest score on those games, well you can move up even faster!  And honestly, a lot of our games don't even have 8 submissions yet, so you'll REALLY be moving!

So why not come over and check us out.  The competition may seem fierce, but that's just because we love it so much.  It's all about having fun.  We look forward to seeing you there!
