[KR155E]

Yes Sirs and Madams, you read the title correctly.

I am offering a free complete JPN copy of Jack Bros. I have donated a lot to PVB, and also tried to help out folks here when I can.

You need to meet 2 requirements:
1. Gain the “10+ ratings” batch by rating at least 10 commercial or homebrew games or demos.

2. As well, I would like you to make a new contribution to this site. Could be a review, could be a new top high-score, could be a new scan the site doesn’t have, could be a monetary donation, …or could just be a notable VB related picture of, say, your cat playing VB. Your contribution is your choice 🙂

I will pick the judges.
The contest will last until we reach at least 10 participants. All members new and old will be welcome.

The prize includes 1 complete boxed copy of Jack Bros, with free USPS Priority shipping and delivery confirmation within the USA. “Snail-mail” First class postage will be offered for international members.

A runner up prize will be a loose copy of Nester’s Funky Bowling.

So… get to it! Rock on guys n’ gals!

EDIT: Rules updated (1st requirement changed)

Sure! 🙂

Just talked to RPack and we decided to not let the contest end before Sunday, so new entries are still possible until Saturday and HonkeyKong gets a chance to submit the missing ratings. 😉 Is this alright, VJockey?

Here’s an overview of the entries until now:

StealthNinjaScyther – VB Wario Land High Score
(HonkeyKong – Forza 3 PVB skin)
jzagal – Yokoi Returns scans

It’s all good.:)
I’m happy to see so many new members since the 3DS launch here on PVB. 🙂

…and the winner is? :question:

Numbers are in KR155E’s hands and I expect he will post the winners shortly. 🙂

Is anyone as excited as I am? 🙂

I am! I’ve been checking this thread literally every day, second guessing my entry, because I should have done everything in my power to ensure a winning entry. XD Again, good luck to everyone! This drum roll is killing me.

Hold the drum roll! Votes are counted and the winner is…

… hold the drum roll …

… KoNeKo! Second place: Protoman85. Congrats! Please PM your shipping addresses to V. Jockey.

I wanna say thank you to everybody who participated and for your submissions! Also to HonkeyKong and gunpeiyokoifan, whose submissions count unfortunately not be counted in due to missing ratings. And, of course, thank you to Virtual Jockey for holding this nice contest! 🙂

sorry I didn’t finish the game ratings…

at least I finally added something (that isn’t a poorly drawn doodle) to this site 😎

Aww no fair. 🙁 I have no way to rate any more games since I couldn’t get an emulator working nor could I even rate the copy of Galactic Pinball I just picked up due to my VB being out of commission at the momment. 🙁 Oh well. :/ Out of curiosity where would I have placed had I managed to get the 10 reviews I needed?

I really liked the Forza skin. I don’t own the game, but speaking for myself I would have ranked you pretty high for originality and effort, let alone your willingness to incorporate anyone’s serial number onto the car. :thumpup:

KoNeKo’s Jack bros has been shipped out 🙂

Still waiting to hear from Protoman85, our 2nd place winner.

Thanks, it’s an honor =D.

The jealous little prick in me wants to complain about how a text review is better than a video with all the production that entails, but nah, it’s fine. I’m just happy to be appreciated at all and I really appreciate it. Thank you all!

You only lost by a hair. All 3 judges made our own choices, and the winning order was honestly reported without any discussion based alterations.

Thank you everyone for your entries! Every single entry was reviewed (and enjoyed). :thumpup: 🙂

Thank you again so much. 🙂 It is an absolute honor to know that my review was appreciated. I spent a lot of time on it and it means a lot to me. xD

I can’t wait to get more involved in the PVB community and expand my collection of Virtual Boy stuff!
