The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.

Yeah, you win ssxpro.
I can't be bothered enforcing the rule seeing I havent been on to back it up on the day, so your entry counts.
Post your challenge either here on in a separate thread, which ever way you choose will influence how it is done forever.
Lucky man.
You get 2 days to post a challenge, or the 2nd placed guy gets to do it.

I think SSX should choose next challenge, so come on Phil lay down the gauntlet ....
I know I'm probably too late to enter the GT3 speed competition, but here goes anyway.
With a standard Viper GTS, souped to the max, I've managed 439 Km/h. Looking at the website that was put up earlier in this thread, its possible to go up to 445 Km/h. How, I don't know, as when you're just going in a straight line its hard to imagine you're doing something wrong. Anyway, 439 seems respectable, but it isn't something I'll be working on to improve as I tend to prefer the tracks with more corners.
Anyway, here are some ideas for challenges we would be best avoiding:
1) Eyetoy: Play. See who can wash windows for the greatest number of days without sitting down, drinking water, or pausing between games, other than to wave hands in front of the camera to control the buttons and restart the game.
2) See who can complete Final Fantasy 10 the fastest, with their eyes closed.
3) Greatest number of survival wins using Eddie's sister/daughter/whatever (forgotten her name) on Tekken 4, using only your nose. (Circle, X, Circle, X, ow!!)
4) See who can go the longest amount of time playing Wipeout Fusion without blinking.
5) There are tonnes more, but I'm bored just writing them out, so I imagine its even worse for anybody reading.

oh yeah, forgot where I was .....
*Cough* PS2 challenges.
Time for a new challenge Asher ... how about a GBA F-Zero MV one ?
I've got a challenge: buy me a new PS2, because I still haven't got mine fixed. First one to arrive at my door, with a forum member's name on it, wins.
PS Throw in a few controllers and a multitap for extra cred.

There are some topics on www.authorisedcollection.com which tell you how to wheelie, create hybrids etc etc, the GT3 forum is probably the most hardcore GT3 froum in Britain and I know they still hold weekly contests etc.
Spudboy is the king of the wheelie and hybrid by the way

But it probably is a glitch.
