Yeah, it does. To take away my good subweapons and make me die on the next boss because I don't have any way to kill it. Bleating and Babbling

Your sub-weapons cost you 1 Heart, maybe 2. If that's the case you're using them too much Razz

Watch costs 5 and doesn't work on bosses.

I have now reached that period where you do stupid jumps for no reason other than "I don't want to live anymore!!!!"

*3 Things*

1st - There will be a Bonus round. This is not another challenge in the sense of what we have been doing but more like an extra credit assignment. I will be posting a Youtube video with some tunes from the NES. Each one you correctly guess is worth an extra point to your overall score. This will most likely be posted during week 10. It will be posted on a saturday and you will have til Tuesday to submit your answers. Could be 5 songs could be 50.

2nd - You guys will have the final say in the game you are to play out of a list Syd & I give you. The challenge will be a surprise, obviously.


What's the 3rd thing?

I will most likely have them posted tomorrow. PSU was doing e-mail maintenance over the weekend supposedly. I'll try to get both rounds done by tomorrow.

Mine's away.

I just picked the one with the highest numbers.

EDIT: I actually improved a little bit (by one screen), but I'm not resubmitting. The run I sent is is more impressive, I think.

And Bubble Bobble is the winner! The challenge is to beat it without using any kind of controller or keyboard. You must use your mind. Oh and you can't use an emulator either.

I think I just submitted my final entry. I finally had a good run, you know, until I died. That part really sucked.

Hey Douche, I'd pick a game you can sit through watching all the time :p Bubble Bobble is endlessly more entertaining than Marble Madness. Plus, it's got little blue dinosaurs.

Bubble Bobble pulled it off at the last minute!

I thought it'd be Marble Madness for sure.

man, I voted for bubble bobble and I'm not even playing. If you hate bubble bobble and are playing, I apologize. Losing by one vote is bad enough, but losing by one vote, where at least one of those votes really shouldn't count is worse. I had no idea my vote would sway the results. If I had, I wouldn't have voted, (again, because I'm not playing).

I hear the music for BB in my sleep.

I totally voted for it.

Bubble Bobble: Use the code EGJIJ to start at the boss. Trap him in a bubble, let him escape, then beat his angry form. Oh yeah, and get the good ending too. Tiebreaker is time. Any questions? I hope not because I'm going to bed...

That password did not start me at a boss.

Man, I am running out of steam on this championship here. When and if I send one in for Castlevania 3, it will not be my best attempt, hoo boy.

Oh I needed to choose to continue. My bad.

I am getting good at dying in this game.

I'm still not sure if he's joking about this challenge. He could potentially rank performance based on number of hits.

I got the boss down to 70 once. But I don't know what he means about a "Bubble".

While I may not be the best to judge, this is just stupidly hard.
