"EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE - Special Reserve: The Game"

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. It was supposed to be judged last year. So sue me. Sometimes I think you freaks don't appreciate how hard I wo... sorry, getting a bit agitated. Anyway, the point is, we've finally got around to polishing off this competition. And I'm happy to announce we have two main winners and two runners-up.

The main winners are...

TGMBloke for his interactive video quiz, and...
Jim-hat and Chad Niga for their SR Lost Gameadays Adventure.

It's obvious that both of these games had hours and hours of effort poured into them, so it'd be criminal not reward the creators. You both get to choose a game of your choice up to the value of £50 (jim-hat and Chad will have to argue it out themselves).

And the runners-up are...

HalloHowArtThou for his excellent monkey SR adventure, and...
Mojojojo for his Spam Hard game

Again, it's great to see people putting real effort into these games and they were a cut above the rest. However, I can't give everyone who made a good game a full prize, so you two will have to make do with a game up to the value of £25.

Thanks again to everyone who entered, part of the reason this competition took so long to judge was because we were having so much fun playing all the games. Give yourself a big pat on the back everyone who entered (and we enjoyed the non-playable entries too, so don't think they went unnoticed). Scroll through this thread and you'll find links to all the winning entries eventually.

Thanks all!
Ali

Those of you who already have your Special Reserve club mags will be feeling a sense of smug satisfaction, but I thought I'd make it official and let all the monkeys on the chat forums know about the latest Extra Gameaday prize. If you want the game of your choice (up to the value of £50) then you'll have to design... Special Reserve: The Game!

We want you to use your extensive game knowledge and expertise to design a game based on Special Reserve! How far you want to take this simple premise is up to you, but the more imaginative efforts are more likely to be rewarded. You can simply jot down a few game ideas such as what kind of game it'll be, main characters, storylines etc. or you can even go further, draw pictures, design levels - it's totally up to you how far you want to take this thing!

What will it be? A Sims-style romp around Special Reserve Towers? A platformer starring our very own Tony? A resource-management set in our Sawbridgeworth store? The choice, as always, is down to you. You should write a short synopsis of your game, complete with characters, storyline and anything else of interest. You can supply illustrations, make flash animation or even (and it's a long shot) code a real game if you desire! Use your imagination and get your game on!

If the entries are good enough then we may think about multiple prizes for this one, and extra special efforts may win a bigger prize than normal, we'll see. You can enter in this thread if you want, post links to games/animations/images etc here, or put them on paper and send them to:

Special Reserve Marketing Department,
Make a Game competition,
2 South Block,
The Maltings,
Sawbridgeworth,

All entries must be submitted by November 28th (posted entries must arrive on time) and hopefully we'll wade through the entries and pick a winner for Chrimble. Looking forward to seeing the entries to this one to be honest, you lot thrive on competitions where you have to flex your creative muscles!

Possible characters for your game:

Tony
Mr Snuggly
Loki
Darkus
Bob
Candyfloss
Any old staff members etc.

My newest idea is probably my best.

Paperboi

British citizens are in trouble, the postal strikes are causing SR club magazines to go undelivered. Indeed, the problem is so widespread that people dont even know whats happening anymore, only the odd post commenting on how excellent the latest mag is alerts anyone to the fact that a new one is now in circulation. The only good thing from the fiasco is that after sitting by the letterbox for 45 days with nothing but a parched mouth and a tight belt Belldandy has beaten the feat of David Blaine.

But back to the crisis, customers MUST be notified that SR prices are LOW. They have to know that Maxx PC's are setting pants on fire, and BY GOD, they have to know that SR sell nifty BB guns.

The responsibility will be a burden too great for all but the strongest shoulders, there is only one man for the job, SNUGLLY IS Paperboi!

*SuperHero theme tune*

Im working on images as i type, if i can get geocities to work i will upload soon.

I thourght it sounded like quite a good idea..

all staff members will feature in my game. 9 levels, and great fun. iit will be a dale winton style special reserve sweep, where you character ( a special reserve staff member) will fight it out with others to grab as much as they can, bung it in the trolley and move it on. not only will the new store be involved, but level 9, following my very own local store, level 8(basildon) will be a whole new world as you scramble from location to location grabbin as much as you can.there will be on the final leve, playstation planet,sega street, nintendo city, xbox world. everything must be taking, as the level lasts until the last item is inserted in your trolley, meaning the end of the level. out of the 200 objects on the levels (1000 on the last)whoever has the most wins. there will also be a great online mode, great fun. buy sr: sweep now!!

now this is a ridiculous idea and a complete joke. who would really wanna play that rubbish?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like lemonade tycoon....

Special Reserve: The game should be made as a "theme park" type. You could put shelves around your store and purchase new games to put on them and purchase demo machines for customers to try. (just 2 ideas) Then you could open up the store and see what the customers think of the games. (e.g. happy face appears above their head if they see that their new game is in store) You could get the staff to do market research and find out what the customers want, and produce it for them to get better sales. I'll post more ideas some other time.

Urghh... yeah.

Yeah there's nothing like the feeling of completing something you made; whether it's a noughts and crosses game, Black & White or even something diabolically crap, it's still yours and you're proud of it. Like being a father, I would reckon.
