Its on like ummm... Mappy! $100 High Score Contest.

With all the focus these days on Donkey Kong we thought we'd lighten things up by having a contest on the arcade classic Mappy.

Basically, the highest score, MAME (US), a Multicab that plays RIGHT or an actual Arcade Machine will win the $100 grand prize. ThisOldGame.com has graciously donated a Mappy poster for the second place enrty. In addition to the high score contest there is a level 1-1 challenge (best single man score on the first level). This winner will get 'The Pigger Prize' of FIVE american dollars!

This will be an online stream only contest (if you cannot stream for some real reason we may make an inp exception but the inp will be streamed at some point during the contest.)

Contest will run from 10-20-2011 until 11-20-2011 (midnight PST)

You can see who is streaming by browsing to Aurcade.com and looking in the upper right corner of the screen under the 'Live Streams' section. Not all the streams will be Mappy but there has been a lot of play lately with cash on the line.

Lets get it on!

Basic rules

Difficulty Rank B
Extra lives at 20k and 70k

1. Game must be played/streamed live on Justin.TV (AKA Twitch.tv) or USTREAM

2. You need to be able to clip the performance so someone can verify the gameplay. In some cases a ref may be watching the stream and can verify it right then but you'll still want to clip the broadcast so the rest of us can enjoy it,

3. You can use MAME (any version without obvious ways to exploit the game), You can play on an actual machine if you are lucky enough to have one, you can play on a multicab/multiboard that has Mappy as long as gameplay is not obviously different from MAME or the original machine.

4. You will need and Aurcade.com account with your stream URL setup in the 'stream' field so the notification system works and we know who is streaming when.

5. First place prize is $100. for the highest score at the end of the contest 11-20-2011 Midnight PST. Second place is a Mappy poster Flyer donated by ThisOldGame.com and 'The Pigger Prize' of FIVE american dollars goes to the highighest level 1-1 single man score.

Good Luck and Happy gaming!

Can you define this one better? I sold my old Mappy, but I do have a 60-in-1.

Score on the 60-1, 1039-1 or other multi boards will be accepted unless somone can point out obvious gameplay differences. The goal of the contest is to get people playing this classic not to worry about how they get it done.

Happy gaming!

Yeah, as long as you set it to rank B, it should play pretty much the same. I don't think there's any issues with those hardware games. Actually, I think most of the issues on the 60-in-1 boards are sound related...Phoenix might be off, but that one is kinda oddball anyway ;)
 
This is an awesome idea...
Guess I better fire up some Mappy and see how awful I am at it :D
 
You mean I can't play it on my Officially licensed Namco Ms. Pac-Man And Friends Plug & Play TV Game joystick? ;)

I bought that same one from Goodwill a couple weeks ago. It plays fine for about 10 minutes then the video gets staticy/disorted :(. Other than that, I was enjoying it. I can't find any info on a fix so I guess I'll have to chunk it or put it on a shelf.
 
I'm tempted to try this but my high is just short of 125k so I know there's no way I'd win anything. Still, glad to see Mappy finally getting some love!
