Sabertooth Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 We just closed our very first Recharged Squad Challenge Giveaway! @Yorkies TV was the lucky winner of a Classic Joystick Controller. But we're not going to stop there. One more controller is up for grabs! THE SERIES TWO RECHARGED SQUAD CHALLENGE GIVEAWAY From August 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 we will play five VCS games. After the last game, we will hold a drawing for a brand new Atari VCS Modern Controller! For this series, we're applying some lessons learned from the first round AND providing even more chances to win! Here are the rules: 1) All challenge participants will receive one (1) entry for each challenge in which they submit a valid score! 2) The top scorer of each challenge will receive two (2) additional entries - for a total of three (3) entries in a single challenge! 3) On Twitch or Youtube? Stream or record and post your ClubVCS high score attempt for one (1) additional entry in each round. You must post a link to the video link to that month's Recharged Squad Challenge. BUT ARE THERE BUTTONS? Yes! We've made another set of ClubVCS buttons to celebrate the games in this series. There will be two ways to get a button set. 1) Win a challenge. 2) Post a valid score to all challenges in the 5 game series. Only one button set will be mailed per member during the series. This contest is open to everybody, including Atari I/O Moderators, with a U.S. or Canada mailing address. It's really easy, all you have to do is be a Club VCS member in good standing and participate in our Recharged Squad Challenges. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
