Response to Tourney 3 - Time for the debate, and we'll do it with these games...

My opinions: 1. Gauntlet II (Acceptable, not fond of the genre but...hell...this IS a classic after all. =)

2. Amidar (Boring game IMO, no thanks)

3. Zero Zone (Joy Joy Kid is a better puzzle game. This is emulated fast, but it's a slow game. And marathon games aren't good for my vision, I nearly was blinded marathoning Palamedes...and I've had this happen for other games too. At least there are breaks in Joy Joy Kid)

4. Burning Rubber (a favorite of mine, should DEFINITELY make it)

5. Lady Bug (I don't know if Lady Bugs are enemies in this or the character you control, but I have a large phobia of bugs. Therefore, I'd prefer to avoid this)

6. Xenophobe (change of pace game, may not yield high scores, but it's unique. I think this should be given a shot)

7. Marble Madness (my new computer will run this efficiently, and I'm getting it before the tourney. I'm poor at this game, but...hell, I'll take it.

8. Turtles (unfamiliar with the game, but it doesn't sound fun)

9. 10 yard fight (it IS sports, but it bores the hell out of me. Might be a little too frustrating to add.)

10. Ghouls N' Ghosts (CPS1 games were acceptably fast on my machine in MAME .35 with frameskip and no sound. But even that won't get me to add this, not a fan of THIS genre)

11. Tron (I like this game, but I was frustrated enough dealing with Tron's discs. Still, I may give it a shot.)

12. Devil Fish (Doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy)

13. Ninja Kid II(set 2) (This looks like an SMB platform game. However...I'm very unfamiliar with it. No opinion.)

14. Tempest (This I absolutely WILL NOT play. I nearly had a seizure playing this in MSArcade once...and I haven't even wanted to play this since. It also features the "electrocution" style of death, and that is disturbing to watch, especially in an arcade game.)

15. City Connection (Unless this game has a little bug in it that welcomes cheating, I'll play this)

16. Magic Sword (An alright game, but not worth tourney status)

17. Outzone (Not familiar with this except in screenshots, and it doesn't seem like something I'd play)

18. The main event (It's a sports game, but I find this game WAY too hard. It's also boring.)

19. Sega Ninja (Doesn't look exciting, or something I'd play in the tourney)

20. Kangaroo (Repetitive games don't get my vote unless they have something special about them...)

21. Do Run Run (...like this one does. It's not a Pac Man style game, that's the original, this one is...well...quite unique. Should definitely make the tourney)

22. Snow Bros. (No way you should throw this out. The best game of the group, like Bubble Bobble but a lot more fun. As mentioned, has everything a good tourney game should have. And, this doesn't freak me out like Taito/Toaplan games usually do. DEFINITELY in by my account.)

23. Green Beret (Sort of repetitive, but it's a game I will definitely accept. It's quite fun, however, I'm not sure if you'll have many people with high scores. Do accept this though.)

24. Mappy (This game is too cute to be in the tournament. =) I have never liked Mappy games at all, they seem like Mr. Do! ripoffs. I think we should take the original and get rid of Mappy)

So, accepted for me is:

Gauntlet II

Burnin' Rubber

Xenophobe

Marble Madness

Tron

City Connection

Do Run Run

Snow Bros. (favored BIG time)

Green Beret

I might as well add Magic Sword to make 10 games.

I hate the gratuituous "enter" hitting. LOL
