Nintendo World Championships 1990 1,448,980

I just got back from Ohayocon 2008 where I won a tournament for the Nintendo World Championships 1990 on the NES with a score of about 980,000. When I got home, I couldn't find any high scoring run-throughs of this cart on YouTube (though there are a couple I missed), so I fired up Nestopia and recorded a quick run-through and ended up with my personal best of 1,448,980. I made a few mistakes on Super Mario Bros., I clipped a few cars in Rad Racer, and I chickened out at the end of Tetris, but overall, I'm pretty happy with this run for just one attempt.

i tried to play this on the nes emulator but all it showed was the title screen and nothing else would happen no matter what button i pressed

You need to press the player 2 Start button to start the game. This is part of the tournament setup. It allows tournament organizers to control when a player's run begins.

One of the gold carts for this game sold for 20,000 dollars. The NES world championship of 1990. Remember it well.

Lucas Barton eat your heart out.

Yeah, and oddly enough, most of this video's hits come from Japanese blog posts about the most expensive video games of all time. I wonder why they choose this video instead of a video done on an actual cartridge with a higher score. Oh well, any traffic is good traffic, I guess.

Nice score ! But how did you guys train for the competition or the qualification? Since you haven't all got a copy of the NWC-cartridge.. Did you play the original games instead?

[hitstun]

None of us had a NWC cartridge. The Ohayocon competition was actually played in Nestopia on the NWC ROM, so that was how I practiced. This video was actually made using Nestopia at fullscreen, with my video card's S-Video Out going to my TV card's S-Video In like I was capping from a console.

I got 2,704,980 by playing all 3 games in Game Over mode. I got to world 8-4 in the extra mode so the majority of the points was in Mario. I lost in the 1st stage of Rad Racer but got 110 lines in tetris.

[AllyssEm]

Agreed, you are a solid tetris player.
