My final words about the Tourny !

OK....here I am.....never to late to thank everybody for this great Tourney. In few words, let me thank Zwaxy for giving us this chance, gb9 for organizing and all the judges for their efforts.

Then congrats to all of you, MARP regulars and newcomers (top quality ones, as Brian, are always most welcome !!!), and particularly to my friend JG. Forgive me if I don't name everyone, but any of you did great things which deserve sincere compliments.

Just a few lines to tell how I lived this tourney: the first being surprised of me ranking #4 is .... myself !!! At the beginning my target was to rank above Renzo Vignola, being so the 1st italian in the tourny (out of 2!!! ;-) ) . But keeping on playing with those games, most of them I've never played before, I relized I could do much better, dropping the games I really hated (Dowild !!!) and those it were nothing to do with (Galaga, BJ), and concentrating in those I started enjoing. The last day were just lucky ones, with little improvements in a few games, and an unbelieving game at 2020 (it gave me 12 pts in the leaderboard).

As far as the single games (I did not voted for them!!!):

- 2020: Never oplayed before, but now I like it !!! ;-) Who says Italians are not good at baseball !?! It means I did not wasted my time playing Hardball for years... ;-)

- Bomb Jack: I've never been good at, and never I will !!!

- Combat school: I hate platform games, and IT IS a platform game !!!

- DoTron: I'm bringing to me all your blame, but I find it a little boring....don't you...!?!? ;-)

- Galaga: it's like running the 100mt with Ben Johnson in the next lane !!!

- Gyruss: always loved it !!! I used to hold the Italian top score for a while at the arcade (5,2M scored in mid 80's), now I should take one day off from work, and seriously challenge BeeJay !!!

- lnc: quite a funny game, nothing more.

- miexchng: never played before, but I like games in which your manual ability only it's not enough.

- Dowild: damn....sooooo boring !!! I don't like, I don't like, I don't like, I don'.......................

- Pang3: never played before, but it's a VERY challenging game !!! Think I'll improve my score.

- UsvsThem: Still I'm wondering who voted for such a crappy game !!! ;-)))

- zzy: without the tourny, probably I would have never played this game, so crappy at first sight, but really funny instead!!!

Well....I really hope to see you all in the T2, and many more competitors (if any of us brings just 1 friend....). I saw no mention of the Tourny results at Retrogames, nor at Dave's .... I'll post to the major emu sites a mail....tha last time I did such a thing, it worked !!!

Ciao a tutti !!! Cicca

PS: JoustGod...don't forget me in your Chicken Shift challenge !!! :-)
