So it's that time again. I have spent hours and hours on the net trying to find THAT game, but there are just too many to play and many are too complex  so i ended up with a simple little winter game. 

Online Ski Jumping K200

http://www.1001webgames.com/game/online_ski_jumping/

The game is very simple, so the learning curve shouldn't be too hard. Just click the mouse to start, level the player with the mouse and click again to land.  The computer and bandwith requirements are also minimal for those that are on a dial up connection.  I will of course have a prize for the winner which i will discuss with the winner but i think winners from previous years have been fairly satisified with their winnings.

Some rules:

1 - You will need at least 5 posts of some content to be eligeble to enter. 5 quick posts in quick succession just to be able to enter will disqualify you unless the forum participants agree that the entry is valid.

2 -  A screenshot of the score you achieve needs to be posted in this very thread, together with the logo  and your posted nickname of this forum    Entries without the two former requirements will be automatically disqualified. You may post as many highscores as you'd like, but please keep the image size down a bit if possible  so that people with dial-up connections can read this thread too.

3 - The competition ends in excactly one week from now - At midnight on Sunday the 21st of December.

4 - I reserve the right to disqualify altered entries that could be viewed as fake entries.

5  - If the author of this post wins the game, the prize will go to the runner-up which means that i am not going to sit for hours on end just to try and save the money Smiley  If there is a tie for the 1st place, there will be two winners.

If you need help with taking the screenshot, just ask - We're here to help :-)

The most important thing is that you have some fun, and i hope to see a lot of screenshots and posts the coming week Smiley
Merry Christmas Smiley

Oh, just to clarify - The score will be listed in the top right hand of the game window next to the flags of the judges after the two jumps.

I had a few goes at playing the game. I only got 133.9 points.

At the moment I don't have much time to play games with work and fixing other peoples computers when they break them.

Well,. just to clarify a bit on the rules if they seem to excessive. I feared 5 posts and run from people not regular members here, so of course the regulars will get a lot more trust from me Smiley

drop me an e-mail with the screenie if you can't get a host.

but www.bildr.no host them for free, no registration necessary.

Click "browse" and "last opp" to get the pic hosted.  1mb max.

Some hints.

Click to start. Just before the edge, try to center the green line under the ski's before he jumps. In midair, you will want the ski's level in the air all the way down, then try to click as late as possible to get a perfect landing.

My current highscore is 356,4 points. I can't win this game, so don't be discouraged. Smiley

The trick to get the lengths is how the player flies in the air after he jump, but you also need to try and get the green line at the edge at the center when you click, then he'll get a good jump Smiley

My little contribution even though i can't win Grin
Set a personal length record there with 214.5 meters with dead air Smiley

Seems the trick is really to time the jump.




Edit: the 214 got replaced fast with a record 229 meters at 2,7m green air Smiley I'll post a screenie of that one later.

Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
