Capture The Flag

Short version of rules: Before March 5th, post 5 score enabled games that you are currently not the champion of. Try to have the most first place scores in all of the posted games at the end of March for a chance to win one of these prizes.


First Place Prize:
Choose one of the following
http://www.xgaming.com/store/arcade-joy ... sb-cables/
1 year subscription to http://www.retrogamer.net/ Magazine
A USB hard drive chocked full of roms and emulators. Plug it in and play.
Prize generously donated by http://www.retro-daze.org/

Full Version of Rules:
Post 5 games in this thread by Midnight Monday March 4th CST.
All 5 of the games must work in score mode and have a scoring system. The game you choose must be a game that allows score competition here.
You must post all 5 games at the same time.
You can not post a exact same game that has already been posted. You may use the same game for a different system.
You can not have first place in any of the games that you pick.
If you miss the deadline then you can not enter this contest.
Each of those games will be called a flag. If 10 people enter then there will be 50 flags.
Each person's 5 games will be called a set of flags.
If you have first place in a game then you have captured that flag.
Points will be tallied at the end of the month, Midnight March 31st CST.
Points:
1 point for each flag you have control of.
2 bonus points for each of your own flags you control.
10 bonus points for each set of flags you control - taking all 5 flags from a single person.
5 additional bonus points if you control your own set of 5.
If there is a tie for first place in a game then no one gets credit for controlling the flag. No points will be awarded for that game.
If someone not entered in this contest has first place in a game
then no one gets credit for controlling the flag. No points will be awarded for that game.
Whoever has the most flag points wins one of the 3 prizes above plus a badge.
If there is a tie then we will go to sudden death.
