Sunday 1 July 2018


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

It’s July so let’s enjoy the sunshine and take on our next challenge and for this month we’ll be trying to hit the big time in Tiny Toons Adventures: Babs’ Big Break.

In this classic Konami platformer you’ll need to take the role of Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck and Hamton J. Pig as they try and prevent Montana Max from thwarting Babs Bunny’s dream of becoming a star. 

The game’s four stages are filled collectables and mini-games and a few special helpers that must be found to progress. Don’t let the cute characters fool you though as this is a tricky title that requires precise platforming and fast reflexes and with only two continues to fall back on you’ll need to give it your all to reach the final boss 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 buy the theatre from Montana Max for 500 gems. 

1 point will be awarded at the end of the month to the player who finishes the game with the highest score.

How to Enter
To enter simply post a photo (as a reply to this post) clearly showing your in game achievement along with a hand written note containing your name and the current month and year.
To ensure fair play all entries should be made using a genuine cartridge of the game (from any region) played on a genuine Game Boy (any model). Cheat codes may not be used and level select passwords should only be used once the player has earned them in game.
That’s all there is to it so stretch your thumbs, charge your batteries and game on! Good luck!



Also a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our June challenge! Batman proved to be a tough challenge with a huge difficulty spike at the end and a tough final boss fight.  Nevertheless An Vermeiren and Michael Evans-Taylor IV rose to the challenge with both managing to finish the tricky title. Michael also picks up the bonus point for being the first to finish and An picks up the bonus point for posting the highest score and they each picked up a bonus point for getting to stage 2 with the fewest points so very well done to them both! 

If you didn't get around to entering then fear not as you'll still be able to get some points retrospectively. If you submit a ‘Batman’, ‘F1 Race’, ‘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!
