SPECIAL! We love retro video games from the 1980s (can’t you tell from Teragati?), so we had to celebrate the upcoming sequel to our favorite 1982 light-cycle movie (and game) Tron. If you have the highest verified Teragati score on OpenFeint by noon Pacific time on July 15, 2010, we’ll buy Tron Legacy 3D movie tickets for you and a friend! Write us at our support email address below for full details. Void where prohibited, etc. Good luck!

So here’s the deal:

• Play Teragati. Get good at it. Make sure you’re using OpenFeint and that your scores are appearing on the Highest Score Leaderboard.
• On July 15, 2010, at noon Pacific time, we’ll note the OpenFeint account that has the highest verified Teragati score. We’ll be using our top-secret algorithms to eliminate faked scores.
• We’ll arrange an OpenFeint IM with that account, where we’ll get contact information. We’ll then send that account $40 USD, which we are pretty sure should cover two tickets to go see Tron Legacy 3D anywhere in the world. Note that the movie is scheduled to open in December 2010 (see the trailer now! It rocks!). The winner doesn’t have to spend the money on the movie, but we’ll be very, very disappointed otherwise.
• Legalese: Attachment Computing LLC (“AC”) makes the final decision who wins. AC’s decision is final. Total amount awarded is $40. Ties or multiple winners split the $40 evenly. AC has no affiliation with Tron Legacy or its makers; we’re just big fans of the movie and have a feeling that Teragati players are, too. In the event that AC can’t determine a winner, AC will pick one at random from the OpenFeint high-score leaderboard. All winners must be age 18 or older. Winners are responsible for all taxes, fees, popcorn, parking, and gas. AC reserves the right to cancel this contest at any time. Void where prohibited. Employees of AC aren’t eligible, and they’ll all be going to see the movie anyway.

Other stuff: a level indicator, a shield indicator, a slightly easier Level 2 (which our stats showed is where most games ended), a switch-player button for shared devices, a new Highest Level leaderboard. There are a few more things inserted into 1.2, but we’ll leave those up to you to discover.

One hint about the electrodes: although they can’t be killed, and although shields do nothing against them, it might be worth your while to experiment a bit with them. Enjoy!

When you upgrade Teragati to 1.1.1, the first time you log in to OpenFeint, your top score will be migrated. So don’t worry — you won’t lose that achievement!

I wish YouTube handled portrait-orientation videos better. Watch it full-screen to minimize the shrinkage.

(By the time you read this, that code will have expired, so don’t bother entering it!)

Update 31 March 2010: We’re removing this feature with the 1.3 update. It wasn’t that popular, and it generated more support questions than any other feature.

(Update: we’ve migrated to OpenFeint, so we’ve removed the link in this post.)

Go buy Teragati now!
