Game Boy Players League - May 2018

Hello and welcome to another thrilling month in the Game Boy Players League!

It’s May and that means it’s time for us to launch ourselves into another challenge and for this month we’ll be putting the pedal to the metal in Nintendo’s F1 Race.

In this classic 8-Bit racer you’ll need to master the layouts of each of the nine international racing circuits to become the F1 Champion!

You’ll need finish in first place in each races to progress and as you’ll be starting from the back of the field that won’t be easy. You’ll need to pick the right car for the track and learn how to make the most of your turbo jets to have any hope of leaving your opponents behind. Tight corners and tricky chicanes will push the car and your driving skills to their limit too so good luck!

Scoring

Players will receive 1 point for playing the game with an additional 2 points on offer for anyone who manages to finish the game.

Bonus Points

1 point will be awarded to first player to complete the game.

1 point will be awarded to any player who manages to complete *each* of the first 4 stages in less than 10 attempts. (Press select on circuit map screen to see previous race results).

1 point will be awarded at the end of the month to the player who was able to complete the first 4 stages in the fewest attempts. (X counts as 10).

How to Enter

To enter simply post a photo (as a reply to this post or email to timelessgaminguk@gmail.com) clearly showing your in game achievement along with a hand written note containing your name and the current month and year.

P.S: If you didn't get around to entering last month then fear not as you'll still be able to get some points retrospectively. If you submit a ‘Kirby’s Dream Land’, 'The Amazing Spider-Man' or 'Wario Blast' entry from now on you'll receive 1 point for playing the game and 1 extra point if you manage to complete it.

They'll be some great prizes for the top players at the end of the year so every point counts!
