How often are you allowed to win a prize at gameaday?
Is it every time your name goes back off the list(after 90 days) or is it as often as you like.
P.S- This black box that gets plugged into the playstation so you can make your own games. What is it exactly, how much does it cost and where is it available?
Cheers

programming!? I have no idea how to do all that, thats why i bought this, it's easy(ier) than a normal game maker, it's got this unique way of programming stuff, the only problem is that you can't use polygons but can make 3D games! you still need to use codes and computer jargon to makes and edit games, but it's nothing proffessional, you need a 500mhz pentium and anything you get with that will work, you get fonts/fx/graphics with the programme plus some neat sample games to muck around with, this aparently is the easiest way to get used to it, so far I have made one stupid looking charachter and some background maps, I have no idea how to put the maps onto a game and the character can't do anything but stand. it's going to take some time to get used to it.

Cheers Fogmaster and elitesniper.
Fogmaster this program that you speak of, can you actually program your own games on it or what?

you could win two weeks in a row but it's never been done before, so it's very unlikely.
I have a game maker, it was £27.99 from SR, I have to say it's the best one I have used, it's called
DIV Game Studio. No programming needed and there are some sample games for you to 'adjust' you can change things to make them better.
I hav no idea where to get the black PSX from, but I would suggest looking around the internet, it's just an adapter, you plug it into a port at the back of your PC and it converts the information on your PC into PSX information, I don't know much about it, so i'm not the best person to ask.

Yes you can win day after day if your good enough, it hasn't happened yet though because people either go away when they win or the they stop posting long messages.

cheers Fogmaster!
Can you suggest a good program on the computer for programming/making my own game?
Have you made any games your self?
Also with winning, could I win one week and then win the week after?
Where can I get this PC-PS box?
Cheers

you can win a game anytime you want, you just have to convince SR that you deserve it more than others(not likely) i have won 3 games in about 8 months! but got the last 2 in about 3 months!

the black box you speak of is about £400/500, you make the game on your PC and translate the information onto a PSX CD, then you send it off to a company and get lots of money! (not likely) make something worth having first, then get a black box, unless you just won a couple million pounds, then you can spend, spend, spend!
