So Im thinking of having a retro gaming competition here in el paso. My friend just opened up a local music venue and i asked him if i could set up a tournament. he loves the idea and want to back it up. So now im in the brainstorming stage of it so i need some help. here is what i have so far:
There will be a max of 50 participants
$5 entry fee
There will be 5 games spanning 4 systems
4 of the games will be announced prior to competition, 5th will be announced once the top 4 players have been decided
the systems will be NES, SNES, SMS and Genesis
The 5th game will be Mega Bomberman 4 player game to dertermine ranking
there will be 5 of each system and players will play at the same time until all 50 have played
the scoring will go to the top 10 of each game
10 pts for 1st.. 9pts for 2nd and so on
after all players have played scores will be added and final 4 battle it out.
Players are granted a 5 or 10 min (havnt decided yet) practice period before they start
(not sure about this one) Player is allowed a second chance at a higher score voiding the first attempt
So thats what i have so far. There of course will be people writing down the scores and making sure people dont cheat. And there will be a score board like karate kid haha. This is just for fun and to bring together friends and the retro gaming comunity here in el paso. There of course will be prizes.
Any ideas as to what games would be good points based games for each system. I need games that are both common and uncommon and also not too expensive seeing as i need to get 5 copys of each.
Any ideas for prizes? I have a friend who owns a screen printing shop so i want to have shirts for the top 4 but i need something to go to 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
this is my first attempt at doing this so i dont want to get too ahead of myself haha. thanks guys!
