Amusingly, there’s also a bunch of – shall we say – more unconventional competitions:
Qrack! (pronounced “crack”): Classic Quakeworld deathmatch
Pixel Pusher: Build your favourite 8-bit hero and win a prize for the best design!
Mouse Toss: Bring the oldest computer mouse you can find, and hammer throw that rodent! Hit the target and win yourself a brand new Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse (to replace your dead rodent).
Blind Man’s Duel: Beta Day #1 brought our Blind Man’s ruleset to our competitions; with partner teams standing in to duke it out in racing with Blind Man’s Run. Now, Blind Man’s Duel takes those rules one step further, as teams duke it out in Mario Kart 64 Battle Mode!
Sonic Speed Trials: Everyone’s favourite blue hedgehog gets a run in an attempt to finish one of the Green Hills levels as fast as possible in the classic speed run competition!
Mario Time Trials: Everyone’s favourite Italian plumber gets his turn, in Level 1 – 1 of the now supremely classic, Super Mario Bros. game on the NES! Fastest runner wins!
