It's an iOS issue that's out of our control. Even if ads have silent/muted audio, it will cut off playing music. They kinda fixed it in iOS 9 but it still persists. Sorry.

If you have the issue where a page loads and doesn't look right (i.e. all of the menus are displayed without you clicking anything), please do us a favor and do the following (without reloading the page):

- View the Page Source (usually Ctrl+U)
- Search for the text "Page Built In" and paste the entire line as a reponse here.

For example: "<!--Page built in 0.015 seconds on 2017-07-26 21:10:53 on box #214 (CSS 20170726204255)-->"

We're trying to track down which machine is causing this issue and every report will help.

Thanks!

Just paid everyone. 2 lucky winners got a Happy Father's Day themed ecard instead of the regular A one because Amazon randomly changed the image for no reason in the middle and I didn't notice right away. So... Happy Father's Day I guess?

We're still looking for images for upcoming battles. We'd like to be able to use new images for these rounds. We have some good ones but we're still coming up short, especially for 1997. If you're still interested in contributing, please get your images for games (both used and unused in previous rounds) to us as soon as possible.

In particular, we'd really like to see images from:
Final Fantasy VII
Age of Empires
Fallout
Harvest Moon

The SMRPG pics are all horrible with character images made for ants, but if that's what you guys really want...

I'll take it. If nothing else, it will reduce the number of complaints people will have about the picture.

Howdy guys, we're now ready to accept images for the third+ rounds of the contest. You can use the form provided below:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/contribute/submit_contest_image

For each year, we'll be showing two sets of rotating images similar to how we have it setup now except for two images per year instead of one. Make sense? Excellent. All of the details are covered on the submission form.

Have fun!

BTW, if anyone has any interesting ideas for a banner, feel free to shoot me a PM. I came come up with something later (busy weekend with visiting family, actually posting this from a restaurant, lol) but if someone has something cool in mind I'm open to that as well.

BTW 2, we decided not to use the writeups. We really didn't give a template and they were all so different (some jokes, some serious, some long, etc) that we weren't really comfortable having people make choices based upon them. That was my fault really, should have given more direction about what we were looking for.

what length are you looking for? I see you mention a paragraph but do you want a specific length?

Nothing too long.

Just to clarify can we mention ports in other years? For example can Tetris be mentioned in 1989 despite making its North American debut in 1986?

Stick to NA original release, please.
