[CONTEST] Space Invaders Extreme

Psykoboy2 · 05-05-2009, 01:22 PM

Tomorrow on Xbox Live Arcade comes Space Invaders Extreme. You could say it's "Space Invaders Week" here at the CoG network. There's an interview over at Co-Optimus with the senior artist of the game, In-Game Chat will also be conducting an interview with folks involved with the game later this week and here at the Colony...well, we've got a contest for you.

Up for grabs in the contest is a limited edition print that Backbone Entertainment created, and individually *hand-signed* by Tomohiro Nishikado - the creator of the ORIGINAL 1978 Space Invaders. Only 180 of these prints were created and you have a chance to win one of them.

Winning is pretty easy. No judging. No luck of the draw. All you have to do is obtain the high score in the single player arcade mode (with default options including only 3 lives) of Space Invaders Extreme on XBLA among everyone who enters by the end of the contest next Tuesday (5/12/09) at 11:59pm Eastern time. To enter your score, just take a screenshot of your ranking. It must be very clear what your gamertag is, the score, and the rank position. Then send it to contests@colonyofgamers.com with "SIX SCORE" as the subject line and include your name, address, and phone number along with your username on CoG as this contest is only open to members of the Colony*. Also, you can only enter ONE time. So it would probably be best to wait until the last minute to send in your entry. However, in the event of a tie (if at all possible), whoever sent in their entry first will win.

Good Luck!!

*Any member of Colony Of Gamers (with the exception of reporters/admins/founders), regardless of post count or join date, is eligible to enter and win.

Some. It also helps that it's not the top story.

To add to the list of (mock) complaints, my lack of a 360 makes me ineligible.

Ravenlock · 05-05-2009, 02:23 PM

I am eligible, but my lack of skill makes me irrelevant.

Best of luck to those who compete, though - that's one hell of a prize!

Yep. That'll sure do it.

Hey, how do you know you aren't any good at it?

He cannot keep his emotions in check. The sight of a Space Invader drives him into a red rage, ever since one violated his mother.

Those bastards braved the vastness of interstellar space for one purpose; to fuck Ravenlock's mother. Her reputation is such that they could not resist. Little squiggly bastards!

Aggort · 05-05-2009, 03:50 PM

Fuck, too bad I suck at these kinds of games hardcore!

(Except Galaga, I owned Galaga!)

ElektroDragon · 05-05-2009, 04:24 PM

Sigh... so much for me winning, I have weak skills. But maybe, just maybe, the rest of you suck too, so I'll give it a go!

Exactly!!

I was surprised by how well I did at Pac-Man C.E., but loved the competition that game gave me with just high score attempts.

Restlessavenger · 05-05-2009, 04:36 PM

I think I will warm up some tonight on the DS version, and then tommorow... it's on.

Camel · 05-05-2009, 04:46 PM

That is an AWESOME prize, but I tend to stink at all games.

05-05-2009, 05:07 PM

Great prize, and I'd love to get it, but considering I don't own a 360, nor would purchase a game just to win a prize.

Give a go for the Blue Dragon game!

Wait...do you have a DS?

I have the DS game. High scoring is not something I do with it.

EDIT: Also what roboninja said. I guess my secret's out!
