Gauntlet II-Human shooter.Long, tedious, yet playable. In.(posted 9119 days ago)Amidar-Death-by-boredom-variant.If we're going to play this, we might as well stick DDay and Crush Roller in the tourney. Out.
Zero Zone-Tetris variant.Who the hell voted this game in? It's repetitive, extremely slowly-paced, unoriginal, and the nudity sin't even fresh. Out.
Burning Rubber-Driving. Whatever. In.
Lady Bug-Pac-Man variant. Don't know why there's so many enthusisasts for this game, but since it doesn't have Pac in the title, I'll play. In.
Xenophobe-FPS Maze. At least its different. In.
Marble Madness-Rollerball/Dexterity game. In, BUT ONLY IF SLOW COMPUTERS ARE PROHIBITED!!!
Turtles-Pac-Man Variant. Out by 2x rule.
10 Yard Fight-Sports game. OK. In.
Ghouls and Ghosts-Platform. Unsure-I'll vote In if leeching can be controlled or kept to a minimum.
Tron-Multiple games. Aside from the fact that Tommi is going to wipe us out faster than a bunch of Windows programs on lightbikes, I can't find any good reason to keep this game out. If anyone can think of one, please e-mail me, and I'll support your cause.
In. Devil Fish-Pac-Man Variant. Even though its better than LadyBug, Out by 2x rule.
Ninja Kid 2-Platform. Out by 2x rule.
Tempest-Spinner/Dexterity, Inverted Shooter. An excellent game, and probably the only classic on the list. In.
City Connection-Side-Shot Maze. Out due to scoring issues (unlimited lives at high scores)
Magic Sword-Side Scrolling Platform. Out due to 2x rule. In if leeching problems determined to be too sever in GnG.
Out Zone-Human Shooter. Essentially, these games are the same as Gauntlet, just not as pretty. Out by 2x rule.
The Main Event-Sports. Out by 2x rule, and becuase they're really just acting.
Sega Ninja-Human Shooter. Out by 2x rule.
Kangaroo-Single screen platform. Not a 2x problem, but for leeching issues, let's can this one quickly.
Do! Run Run-Pac-Man variant. Too bad, since its even better than the other two (Devil Fish and Lady Bug) Out by 2x rule.
Snow Bros-Single screen platform. The game is a good challenge, and probably has the most balanced play of all the games on the list (speed, dexterity, planning, and timing are all required) In.
A few quick points, like it or not, Gauntlet, Sega Ninja, and Out Zone are variants of the same genre, one which Gauntlet helped to pioneer. I'd rather play the original than anything else, but II will do nicely.
Amidar, City Connection, GnG, Kangaroo, and Green Beret are all games where leeching will be a problem, as well as lending themselves to vry high scores. I vote to eliminate these games from consideration.
Despite what Gameboy says, comparing GnG to Snow Bros is VERY naive. Snow Bros is a Bubble Bobble type game, whereas GnG is a traditional platform side-scroller. These are two VERY different games.
And that's all I have to say about that. I'd like to start hearing some debate on other people's thoughts about the games.
