Response to Tourney 4 - The randomizer is in!

1. Pole Position - I sorta hope there is no m36tg :) because I've never been able to use any sort of controls well for this game on MAME. Some people have obviously adapted though, as evidenced by the recordings already up.

2. Pnickies - if we allowed Ghouls 'n Ghosts into the last one, I don't think speed will be an issue. Good tournament game.

3. SF2 - hoo boy... I REALLY hope this is allowed, as all my time battling with Dudu over those romsets won't have gone to waste :) Maybe I *should* hope for a 0.36 TGMAME...

4. Arkanoid II - another game I'll have control problems with, but oh well. Donut or Steve Krogman (if he plays) will end up 0wning most of our asses.

5. Green Beret - doesn't the game loop after completion? I see no problem with it. And wouldn't it be classified as a platformer? It's not really an "action shooter" because you have to pick up the special weapons (with limited uses) to fire, your main weapon is a knife.

6. Gaplus - I think the current high scorer on this game quit his recording early, so someone who knows the game well is going to end up scoring much higher than the rest. And possibly lead to some marathons...

7. Sega Ninja - should be allowed, because I voted on it dammit! :) seriously, I don't consider it the same type of game as Gaplus. You're not stuck on one screen, and you're not forced to scroll the screen at all times (on most stages anyway... there are a few exceptions, but you still have full 8-way firing unlike the vertical-only fire on Gaplus). The same strategies definitely do not apply to both games.

8. 1943 KAI - now this is more like Gaplus than Sega Ninja... probably won't make it

9. Solar Fox - maze game. Hoo boy. guess there's no getting around this one :P

10. Gunsmoke - another shooter. Nope. (too bad, because I like the game)

11. Bubble Bobble - is this different enough to warrant including it along with Green Beret? and haven't the Deca 2K players had enough of this game? :) I WOULD rather see it included over...

12. Ghosts 'n Goblins - please no more...

13. Galaxian - out

14. Karate Champ - well, if SF2 doesn't make it in, I don't see a problem with it. Except that recordings might be kinda boring to watch. Just my opinion though

15. Magic Sword - another platformer, probably shouldn't be allowed.

16. Rally-X - out because of Solar Fox (I will kill myself if we have TWO maze games in one tourney again)

17. Klax - out

18. Tag Team - not familiar with this at all... if it's sports, then I guess it's fine.

19. Pang - well, we already played Pang 3 panic mode in T1, but playing regular mode in part 1 would be different. Nothing else in thr tourney like it anyway.

20. Star Wars - different enough from the other "shooters" to include it...

I don't think anything past this point will end up making it in, so I'll wrap this up. So far, the gamelist looks to be more to my liking than the ones in the previous three tourneys (BenJos: PLEASE don't quote me on this two months from now! :))
