Video Game Olympics

Introduction

Welcome to the Video Game Olympics.

This is a multi-console event, and it is NOT a decathalon.

You may enter as many or as few events as you want.

For the first round there are 10 events you may choose from to compete against your fellow Sydlexians. The theme for round 1 is points. Just like the old days of Galaga, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong, You will be competing for the highest score of all.

As with all contests, Cheating, be it glitches, cheat codes, game genie, etc., will not be tolerated, and will result in disqualification of your run
