everybody wanna tell you the meaning of music
Congratulations to Breakdown for winning the SDAAT! It was a photo finish between him and stanski! Also thanks to all participants and stay tuned for the speedrunning tourney which will come in late fall/winter or something? Not soon, at any rate.
Top Random Prize: Cubivore (GC, complete) to scaryice (here, I found some youtube that isn't a dumb LP or video review)
Other Prize: Viewtiful Joe (PS2, disc only) to Cromarty
Contact me with shipping info please! If you want to turn down the prize, like maybe you have the game already, you can decline, and I will go down the list until I find a happy owner.

Bonus Week! (although not really, I'm not keeping score, actually there is no score to keep, just play for fun)
1000 Miglia: Great 1000 Miles Rally and its sequel, Mille Miglia 2: Great 1000 Miles Rally
These are awesome third-person racing games (TPR?). The ending to the 2nd game is the most awesome thing you will ever see. Your goal in Bonus Week is to find out what it is! Haha, it's not on vgmuseum, you'll have to play to find out yourself! BTW, check out the Batrider endings, they are too awesome. JYUJI WOW! Although Hei-Cob in Gunbird 2 is pure classic.

How to get MAME: You can use whatever version of whatever emulator you want, but here is one.
How to set controls: Load a game, then press <tab>.
How to get roms: "emucation" is a nice search string.
Check the subsequent posts for details on each particular week and for scoring results. There were no signups (although there was a hype thread), so please play even if you just saw this thread. Even if you miss some weeks, you can still play in other weeks. There will be participation prizes!
Each playing week goes from Monday midnight EST to the next Monday. Post your high scores when you get them. Follow the directions for each particular game, but only use one credit! Submit as many times as you want. I will tally these and rank everyone by their eventual high score. You get 1 point for each person you finish ahead of, plus 1 extra for participating. Your scores for the 5 weeks will be combined for your final score.
Feel free to post whatever in this thread, such as scores, discussion about the games, strategies, whether or not you've played the games before and how awesome they are, etc. Do not worry about recording an inp or taking a screenshot or feeling the need to prove your score (although you can if you want), since this is all for fun and prizes do not depend on how well you do. I guess you could cheat, but that would be lame, but I don't expect that to be a problem anyway.
I will be playing in this tourney as well, but since I have the advantage of knowing what the games will be, I will not be eligible to win the tourney, nor to win any prizes. If you finish ahead of me though, you do get a point of course.
This tourney is for fun and not serious at all so please join, even if you think you suck at video games or you don't know any of the games involved. That's actually the point, to expose people to a whole world of great games that they may not know about (so I will try to pick games with no console or PC port, or with relatively unknown ports). You can spend as much time as you want each week. Maybe you have a lot of time and spend several hours, maybe you're busy and only have 15 minutes, that's fine. Maybe you only participate in one week, who knows. Don't be embarrassed to submit your score, even if it looks low compared to everyone else. Don't emphasize the competitive aspect too much, the point is just to participate and have fun!
To further encourage participation, I will be giving away some prizes in the form of video games that I will mail to you to keep. For now, I think I will only give out two prizes, but I might increase if the participation is incredible (doubt it).
- Random participant who played all 5 weeks: a rare Atlus game. For those who don't know, Atlus games are rare. Uh, I think I'm underselling this one.
- Random participant from a randomly selected week: a not-so-rare Capcom game. I might be overselling this one, it doesn't even come with the original box I think.
