Yes, I know long time no type, but here is a weigh in with
the "randomizer" (no harm or foul meant with "")
<p>
*1. Pole Position - Racing - If MAME 36 TG comes out - fine.
Pole Position is okay with keyboard, when you get used to it, which
would make it a good tourney game
<p>
2. Pnickies(that's why I said that) - Puzzle - I don't think the slow
computer thing is a problem - might have to use sound off though.
<p>
Pnickies is G'bs game, but it's clean of problem.
<p>
*3. Street Fighter II - Fighter - now Barry requested this to be in
if MAME 36 was released... although it can be played on MAME 35 -
should be consider that to be a game if MAME 36 is out or not? I have
no opinion on this as of yet.
<p>
Two ideas here, one speed might be an issue if we are still caring
about speed issues. Other than that, I'll address the other one later.
<p>
4. Arkanoid II - Breakout - fine.
<p>
What keyboard problems, I can get vails (or whatever it's called)
moving as fast as I want it to, you just have to know how to kick up
the pace.
<p>
5. Green Beret - Action Shooter - fine.
<p>
Personally, this is the standard side scroller, easy as pie, and as
such can be leeched. You thought GNG was bad, I've seen a leecher
play this one for hours on one life at one spot.
<p>
6. Gaplus - Vertical Shooter - fine.
<p>
I want to know where GB comes up with what they are, this is simply a
Galaga style game, which would work in the tourney.
<p>
7. Sega Ninja - ? - fine unless there's a repeat somewhere
<p>
Sega Ninja is more like 1943, which is eliminated below, so it is
gone as well.
<p>
8. 1943 KAI - Vertical Shooter - dog gone it - it violates the 1
game / type rule - so I have to give the opinion to throw it out
<p>
Yes, this one would be the more than one per style rule, which I
didn't like, but that's the rule.
<p>
9. Solar Fox - ??????
<p>
Solar Fox is far enough away from the above to be allowed in the
tourney. I didn't know myself, so I downloaded it and asked around,
and this one could be considered closer to Robby Robo that the games
above.
<p>
10. GunSmoke - ??????
<p>
The oldie is out due to same kind above.
<p>
11. Bubble Bobble - Platform I guess - fine.
<p>
I would have to say out, due to same kind of game. I am comparing
this to platform rule and Solar Fox, take a look yourself.
<p>
12. Ghosts N' Goblins - Platform - Do you want more ghosts? - and I
think it's also a repeat.
<p>
Out - Previous tourney, they are rather the same game, minor
differences in game play that don't warrent both. Kind of like Pac-
Man hearts and Pac-Man. (Okay, maybe not the best to use, since the
maze is different in hearts)
<p>
13. Galaxian - Vertical Shooter - out on 1 game / type
<p>
Can't have gaplus and galaxian, sorry Krogman.
<p>
14. Karate Champ - ??????
<p>
Karate champ is fine, unless SF2 is in. This is like the grand daddy
to SF2, (and the whole genre)
<p>
15. Magic Sword - Action Fighter I think... fine?
<p>
Side Scroller - out
<p>
16. Rally X - Maze/Collect Em' Up - fine(unless one of those ???? is
otherwise)
<p>
Maze game, you are right, this is fine.
<p>
17. Klax - Puzzle - out cause of pnickies
<p>
Klaz waves must wait for another day, even though I consider this one
the more challenging of the 2.
<p>
18. Tag Team - Sports - fine unless one of the above takes a similar
type
<p>
Tag Team is a weak wrestling game, this shouldn't eliminate other
sport titles (if they don't deal with wrestling)
<p>
19. Pang - ??????
<p>
GB, PANG! had it's sequal (in a previous tourney) I wouldn't consider
it out due to previous tourney rule, but out due to Solar Fox style.
<p>
20. Star Wars - 3D Shooter - fine
<p>
Finally one of these makes it in, it's clean.
<p>
21. Pitfall II - platform I think - and therefore out.
<p>
Platform is right and out....
<p>
22. Championship Sprint - another questionable one - are we declaring
this a clone even though it's an original and has different tracks?
<p>
Personally I would consider this on it's merits since it has
different tracks and styles. Since there isn't a racing game, if we
haven't hit 10 yet, it should be in.
<p>
23. Pengo - ??????
<p>
Wierd, but out due to Solar Fox style.
<p>
24. Wonderboy III - ??????
<p>
Side scroller - out (I loved it on the Sega Master System (original))
<p>
25. Moon Patrol - ??????
<p>
Personally I love moon patrol, and it's enough away from Sprint to be
allowed in, again, if we haven't hit 10 yet.
<p>
26. WindJammers - Sports - out due to Tag Team
<p>
No, this is certainly not wrestling, but should be out due to enough
like a side scroller than a sport.
<p>
27. Rainbow Islands - Platform - out
<p>
I'll believe you on this one, didn't look or ask.
<p>
28. Super Breakout - Breakout - out
<p>
True.
<p>
29. Bank Panic - ??????
<p>
Bank Panic, bad guy shoot up, but out.
<p>
30. Wonderboy - Platform - out
<p>
If Wonderboy III is out, the original would be gone as well.
<p>
Okay, that would make this is as the ten list.
<p>
1} Pole Position
2} Pnickies
3} SFII (Unless speed issue Karate Champ would replace if not in,
since Karate Champ is within the 10 pick)
4} Arkanoid II
5} Green Beret
6} Gaplus (that's the name, I probably mispelled it once or twice
during this meesage)
7} Solar Fox
8} Rally X
9} Tag Team
10} Star Wars
