The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This thread could do with some more life injected into it, and guess who's the man to do just that?
Well, we couldn't get anyone else, so unfortunately, you get me.
Anyway, here's the plan.
I pick a game, and set a challenge for it. Any game, any challenge.
You, if you have said game, sod off and play on it for a while, and try and get the best result for the challenge tnat you can.
Then, after a week, a winner is chosen, and that winner can set a challenge, however if they fail to set a new challenge within 3 days, I shall start a new one, because we wanna keep things moving.
Rules:
1) We're relying on you for honesty, but if it becomes blatantly obvious your cheating, then we shall ignore all future input by you into this thread. Obvious things would be ridiculous socres on some challenges, or continuosly posting a new best everytime someone else tops your score. I will also be more likely to trust regulars I know, sorry, thats the way it is, except newbies are more than welcome to enter.
2) When setting a challenge, bear in mind it's a week's challenge, so don't start tasks like 'how long can you finish Gran turismo 3 in with all golds', we want short threads.
3) You choose the game, yes, but if it becomes apparent that no-one has the game you chose you shall be told to find a better, more widely owned game and a new challenge.
4) No starting challenges for games that are imported or solely online.
5) Don't use cheats. Come on, play fair.
6) You can select to set up a challenge involving a cheat, so for example 'how many points can you get on tony hawks with the flying cheat'. In this instance, the cheat must be posted up with the challenge, and I'm afraid I won't accept Cheat cartridge cheats, only ones that everyone can use.
7) You can post your new challenges either in here or preferably in a new thread, but If anyone forgets I shall start a new thread for them including their challenge and crediting them.
8)Please. Play fair, have fun, don't cheat. Let's make it work. Enjoy your PS2s.
First ever challenge: Gran Turismo 3.
Okay, nice and straight forward for the first challenge. I want you to pick any car you own, take it onto the track and do the maximum speed test. Post your scores here, along with the car so we have some proof that you know what your talkin about.
I'll start:
212mph, in a souped up Mazda MX-5.
Enjoy. Don't cheat.

Well I couldn't do it tonight, was on socom, and now my little brother is on.
I don't like Vice City, The Sims etc.
I must be the only person in the world that doesn't like GTA 3, Vice City, Sims, Pokemon so I'll just give this one a miss. But I'll be back.
Yeah sure, thats fine.
We'll have the starting top score as... 10 minutes.
I know that time is crap, but it just means that the competition starts off more open.

Really? Hey, thanks! If only I could actually think of a decent challenge! I've had a few weak thoughts, stuff like Tony Hawks 3, top scores, but nothing that really shines out.
I guess the best I can come up with is this:
Game - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (As its the one game most of us have).
Challenge -
# Take the *car* of your choice.
# Go from the stadium (in the north west), starting from above the top flight of steps, with the back of the car pressed against the doors to the stadium.
# Drive to the lighthouse in the south east, and park the car touching the steps to the building.
Post your times here (unless this challenge doesn't qualify). Have fun!
