The List

from JSW (jwilson@sv.net.au)
I'm all in favour of this list, however there needs to be a consensual vote of what is in fact illegal and what is allowed.

Continuing is definitely a no-no but thats been covered already.

If a player milks points and does it in a manner which still puts them at threat from enemies, and/or a time limit, then that should be allowed. For example, Black Tiger with the skeleton kills, or on Kung Fu Master floor 2 where you can rack up points by punching the dragons. Where these cases are taken to extremes shouldn't be allowed. Like Naughty Boy, where you can rack up huge points by staying in one place shooting with no threat to losing a life. Or Double Dragon, it's possible to reach enormous scores by whipping the enemy once for 500 points, over and over until the time runs out. As for games like Roadfighter (BTW good score Angry, I haven't played it for a while but I'll give it a shot one day), the objective is not only to come first, but to surivive each leg of the course. If you can do that while still milking any bonus points that may come your way then it's totally kosher.

As for games with original bugs, if a player is skilled enough to recognise and exploit them, then all the more to them.

Welp, its getting near New Years Eve.. time to get drunk!

Happy New Years to all MARPer's!
