My belated thoughts on this past tournament:(posted 9211 days ago)First of all, congratulations to BeeJay and JoustGod! It was only fitting that the tourney would be won by two of the old-schoolers. :) No offense towards the "newcomers" like Q.T. Quazar and Brian McLean of course. All the competitors made it a lot of fun!
As for the games... well...
2020 Super Baseball - I do like this game a lot when playing 2-player, and the money thing seemed interesting at first for the tourney play. But you have to rely so heavily on getting hit by pitches and clutch grand slams... Bomb Jack - I've never been a big fan of this game. I managed to get the lead early on but I never did as well as that recording, I knew BeeJay was going to take it back. Combat School - If you can actually finish the mission, it all comes down to that 1st firing range. I once was scoring 1000 points per shot but couldn't figure out how to do it. :( Discs of Tron - Gets boring fast, and I wasn't that good at it either. ;) I prefer other analog/rotary input games like Time Soldiers... Galaga - It's Galaga, what do you expect? I've never been that great at it. Gyruss - Ditto. Lock 'N Chase - I hate this damned game. Don't even get me started on it. Money Puzzle Exchanger - the tourney game I liked the most. But I just couldn't beat 63 points :P Mr. Do's Wild Ride - No more. I never want to see this game again in my life. I never want to see Mr. Do bounce around the screen for 10 seconds after dying. Give me Mr. Do Run Run any day... Pang 3 - actually a good choice for tourney play IMO. Just kinda frustrating. Us vs. Them - How did this flawed game get voted in? Zzyzzyxx - See what I wrote for lnc and dowild? apply it here too.
I could have done a bit better on some of these games, but after the first few weeks my interest in the tournament dropped because I wasn't having fun with most of these games. I decided my time would better be spent focusing on regular MARP than attempting to win this tournament, since I knew I wouldn't be able to... besides, if you aren't having fun, why bother playing?
BeeJay - I don't need no steeenkin Neo fighters, dammit! ;)
JoustGod - I don't go easy on anyone... I got whooped, plain and simple :)
