GroovyBee Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 From 9PM tonight (UK time) until 9PM (UK time) on Friday the 5th of March 2010 I'm opening a mini high score contest for my latest game Worm! with the offer of a unique prize. If you have the highest score by the close of the contest I'll include your initials and score in the game's high score chart in the final released ROM image of the game. You'll be digitised forever! The contest settings for the game are :- "NORMAL SPEED" "NORMAL BODY" "EAT MOST" Emulation and playing on real hardware are both fine with me. Submit your best scores to this thread. Screen captures or photos of your achievement will be required to earn the prize of Top Worm Waggler of the Week . You can download the latest version (1.14 or later) of the game from here :- http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/157535-7800-worm/ Just in case you were wondering... This contest has nothing to do with the normal AA 7800 high score contest. Current leaderboard 1. Mord 23275 2. Mord 22650 3. Mord 22075 4. Deteacher 21300 5. Deteacher 17235 6. keitaro 15700 7. Mord 14525 8. Deteacher 13150 9. Mord 12150 10. keitaro 11450 11. Mord 9975 12. darthkur 9100 13. darthkur 7210 14. sh3-rg 3210 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Here's my first submission... I have to hold my hands up & say I'm not used to those settings, I was going for easier options when testing I'm not 100% happy with my usb pad, but bah, that's making excuses Agh, no numbers in the font, SHT maybe a hint to how good my first real try was Edited February 26, 2010 by sh3-rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Here's my first submission... Yay! The first entry . Agh, no numbers in the font, SHT maybe a hint to how good my first real try was I totally forgot about digits in the high score table . Its all compressed to save space on the SaveKey. I'll see if I can squeeze it in for the next release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 (j/k ) No cheating either! I think game production team members shouldn't be allowed to enter like in any good contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (j/k ) No cheating either! I think game production team members shouldn't be allowed to enter like in any good contest. Hense why I posted something totally out in left field. If It's not gonna count, at least make it shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 7,210 What a great game. Just like Nibbler, it's frustrating as hell at times but extremely addicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Although I am a bit of a emu-snob but I may have to make an exception with this one... lol. I'm buying this game already but if I can get a name in the high scores, well I may shoot for a high score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keitaro Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 After playing a bit (very addicting ) 11450 I played with 5 lives, is it ok? Or how can I select 3 lives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 wow! Looks like Mord & Detacher are gonna be fighting it out to get the top score in WORM! I wonder if anyone is holding back their score to submit it in the last moments so others don't know how high of a score they need to beat? Best of luck guys, your better at this than I am thats for sure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
