Keep your eye here as the official settings for Official Settings for some of the bounties come forth! I will be posting all the Nes settings for the Fastest Completion Bounties and I'll let Tom know to post the Snes side of things here as well. This is primarly also for the benefit of those who only got the quick moment to browse here and might not catch the mention in the Classic Console forums.

Please try not to reply to this thread, as I'd prefer to keep it strictly for information purposes only.


Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

In case you missed it in the Classic Consoles forum, here's whatcha need to know for the Metal Gear challenge! Please remember, that due to this being for a bounty, all tapes for this one should be sent to Robert as opposed to I. Once the Bounty is over with at years end, THEN you can resume sending to me as normal. Good luck to you all!


Metal Gear [Fastest Completion]

So you want to save the world along side Uncle Fester.. AND Claim the bounty? Here's what you're going to want to know about when tackling this challenge :)


Fester's Quest [Fastest Completion]

1 Life Only [No Continues allowed]
Special Rules: Timer begins when you press Start at the Title Screen and ends when final blow to the Final Boss [Spaceship
Nucleus] is delivered. You ARE allowed to "hunt" for items along the way, and if you choose, you may return to previous
Addams Family members to replenish key supplies. The "Instant Boss Defeat" trick is BANNED! [This is defined as selecting
a key during the boss battle in the middle of the screen, walking Down/Left and pumping on the A Button until it declares
Thing has given you an Invisible Potion. Game scrambles when Start is hit and then takes you to next Area's stairwell.]

Hi Kelly:

Dang !! Just got my new NES and tried this weekend. I am currently up to the 4th or 5th "boss" and get my you-know-what handed to me. I did manage to defeat this title years back...but it's been awhile.

Robert

Alright,
This is the final entry I will be making as it covers the final game under the console of the Nes, to which I govern. Please remember to submit ALL submissions to Robert until Janurary 1st, 2005, when I officially take back over the game.

To all who are submitting, I wish the VERY BEST of luck.



Blaster Master [Fastest Completion]

Factory Default [3 Life Only! No Continues allowed!]
Special Rules: If you enter a boss room and automatically leave to get have the 2 rooms merge and the boss stuck in the wall,
your recording shall be disqualified! Timer begins when you hit Start on the title screen and ends when you hit the Shadow
Lord for the final time.

Hi Kelly:

I have finally a window to watch Rodrigo's \"Fester\" submission this weekend. Feels like eons since I received it, but my job has been hammering away at me something fierce for nearly 60 straight days. Stinks, but it pays the bills (more or less).

SO, will have an announcement on \"Fester\" soon enough, and that will be another \"bounty\" with a claim.

I've also been brewing up my list for 2005. Some serious contenders both new and old are already present, and my first mega-bounty will be announced on Jan 1st, 2005. Trust me, it's a biggie, both in terms of difficulty and dollars. If someone can pull it off, it will be the largest single bounty that I ever intend to personally offer (as I'm not Bill Gates).

Thus, the wait for the next round begins, or has already begun depending on your PoV. In any event, some bounties have yet to have a single attempt, surprisingly, especially the 1st wave \"Smash TV\" which is the biggest \"gimmee\" of the lot. All you need to do is finish the 1st wave with as many points as possible on one life. That's it !!

Robert
