Well Dave, first off, a "lame" score can be various definitions to be sure. However...if you observe some of the recordings that have hit MARP lately, I would find it hard to label it anything else. A factor that is considered in this personal opinion include my observation that the players in question are good players who normally can post decent if not top scores on many other games. The fact that they occasionally throw in some scores that obviously were played well below their capabilities is a red flag if I ever saw one. Perhaps they don't really enjoy the game (not unusual, I dislike a whole slew of games emulated by MAME). That disinterest, if that's what it is, definitely shows up in the score and how the game is played. So my question is, why even bother? The answer: It's for the points, my friend! Nothing wrong with that as point-grabbing has been going on at MARP long before most of you discovered this wonderful gathering place for the planet's top players. I'm just calling those particular scores what they are...lame.(posted 9614 days ago)I don't agree with limiting anyone here on how many scores they can upload. But I just felt compelled to note that there are increasing amounts of lame scores cluttering up the MARP landscape. Submit 'em if you want to MARPers, but just don't get offended if you spend 2 minutes learning a game, submit that practice session and then someone calls it lame. That's really the point I'm getting at here.
