Response to Clones, clones, why bash the clones?

Clones are good, and should be kept in the scoring mix.

Imagine back in the golden age of video games...

Your local arcade would pick up 2, 3, or more cabinets of the same game. As a player attempting to enter my name into the high score list, I found it necessary to get the highest score on ALL of the duplicate machines - not just the first one in the place. This means that I would play as many games as it would take to enter my initials in the top position on that machine.

Granted, my tendancy to do this was focused more on the games that had permanent high score lists.

Secondly, as to equal/max scores being treated equally... I am against this also. As again, on most classic arcade games, if a 2nd player earns a score equal to the previous player - their score is placed into 2nd place (the exception to this was on early Williams Electronics games, where the newest score was placed atop the list).

Another 4 cents, into the pot (up to $48.60 by now, methinks)
