EX.
Team SegaNews scored 14,000
Something like that?
Sure, I suppose that would be ok. I assume you mean you just want to enter the best score of your team? I'll make a player page for your team. Just let me know the following info:

You're all set! There's still 5 days left in the Crazy Taxi competition. Submit your best score here whenever you like within that time. You may submit as many entries as you want but only the highest score will be posted on the site.

P.S.

Just so you know...your top 3 games don't have to be ones from the site.

hey bud, just wanted to say I love how the site is getting on, you should definitely do some more challenges for Dreamcast games that aren't yet on the competition list, such as getting JET ratings on JSR or clearing certain objectives on Tony Hawks etc, mixes up the action nicely! I'm gonna start uploading some videos on my youtube channel of game play soon check it out

I might give the current one a try tonight if I get a chance, I really liked that game, such a shame it didn't have online over here in the UK, we missed out on SOOOO Many great online games. Outtrigger would be a good one wouldn't it?

Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback. Currently the challenges are once a month so there won't be another UT challenge for a while. What I might do is have other people submit their own challenges. Maybe I could do it a bit more often then. Especially since I'm obviously not a pro at every DC game. Tell me what you think.

I think if the list of games that you run competitions for were a bit longer and slightly more varied it might work a little better, at the moment there are 6 or so games and we've done Crazy Taxi, Hydro Thunder and Soul Calibur, I'm not personally all that mad on sega bass fishing or the first Tony Hawks so I put my vote in for Star Wars pod racer although as its another racing game I'm not sure if theres going to be much difference in terms of the kind of competition, so maybe get some different types of games in there? Maybe a platformer or 2d fighting game or something? Tech Romancer is a pretty good one as you aim to get a really high score through the arcade mode. Then theres Rush 2049, and Mazo mentioned Wetrix, that's a good shout for a competition candidate too...

also if anyone knows much about these games and knows some tricky tasks they could put them forward as challenges??

We can stick with one competition at a time as its good to have a week or so to attempt them but the challenges could definitely mix it up a bit I think.

Anyway just suggestions mate, I'm sure anything that comes up will be good fun

Well, I don't really just want to go and add a bunch of games to the Live Games list as I need to know if enough people are actually interested in them. All the ones in the list (except for a few which I picked) were voted in on the pre-poll.

The main reason for me adding the challenges is so we can play games that wouldn't work well for a competition (no obvious way of scoring or requires gameplay proof of completion). I will probably be starting another thread soon so people can submit their ideas for challenges. If I like an idea, I'll have that person make a video of them completing the challenge and put up the rules on the site.

cool, fair point about the games for live, obviously theres no point adding games that no one has but maybe just add some more or different games to the polls for ones that can be voted in?
