There's a couple of things you're not taking into account. I'm a Marper since July 98. At that time, the LeaderBoard gave you 10,3,1 points for 1rd, 2nd and 3rd places respectively. In those conditions you had to 'find' those games with top scores (such as 300 at bowlings, 15 at lazercmd, etc), played them, finished them and submitted your scores soon, the sooner you could, in order to get one of the places that awarded points. (ONLY for the first 3 people who submited the top score). I spent hours and hours trying to get those 13 strikes in bowlings games just to get 1 point for the 3rd place sometimes. Likewise I could never make a perfect game for the 'robotbwl' for example; so who decides if Robot Bowl is as easy as the Capcom Bowls. I disagree with that or consider me a bad player. In fact, I have used, 'improper control advantage'. I used a keyboard or a mouse, pleasse!!!! Anyway, things are different now and we must accept every upload that gets the top score and I agree with that.(posted 9193 days ago)About the Lottofun, it is really easy now, as Dave Kaupp said , just see any inp and bet those numbers. Except for me, who submited first and found out how to solve it. Apart from that, 5000 ptos don't require more than 1 credit, I do know that.
About the fax game, it isn't a "massive tie' since only Phil Lamat and me have submited the top score (85300 ptos). First submit your 85300 ptos for each category, make it a really 'massive tie', then vote to ban them if you want. And also who can say that the fax games are 'too easy' as you said. They weren't for me. I live in Argentina, here we speak Spanish and I don't handle the English perfectly so imagine how I tried to solve all that trivia game in its 4 categories. All you have to do is to memorize the trivia (or take notes as I did if you want), then use the Pause key to read the question (as you sure did too, Joust God) and get the perfect time. I spent the whole day doing so. Perhaps it is an easy game but it is REALLY awkward and it's not so easy to get it perfect!, even Joust God couldn't and he submited about 80000 and all here we know that JG is a really tough guy.
So in my opinion, leave your 'too easy' games alone (except the '2 players game'); anyone who decides to take these points, take them, even blockade may be a 'non so easy' game if a 4 years old boy decide to become a Marper.
My Depth Charge recording include a pcx screenshot, Cicca, I'm afraid there is no other way to confirm my score except this one.Anyway I will vote to ban all those games who doesn't playback.
So, here are my votes:
"won't playback in any version" No leaderboard points until fixed.If we can find a version/s in which it can be played and played back, we should allow to use ONLY that/those versions. E.g.: Fitter definitively works and playback using Mame 35 beta 6 for DOS. Head on 2 : mame 33 beta 4 for DOS. "broken/unplayable" No leaderboard points until fixed. "Easy", "Control Advantage", etc. : No Banned "Two Player" : Banned
