Yes, I know long time no type, but here is a weigh in with the "randomizer" (no harm or foul meant with "")(posted 9354 days ago)*1. Pole Position - Racing - If MAME 36 TG comes out - fine. Pole Position is okay with keyboard, when you get used to it, which would make it a good tourney game
2. Pnickies(that's why I said that) - Puzzle - I don't think the slow computer thing is a problem - might have to use sound off though.
Pnickies is G'bs game, but it's clean of problem.
*3. Street Fighter II - Fighter - now Barry requested this to be in if MAME 36 was released... although it can be played on MAME 35 - should be consider that to be a game if MAME 36 is out or not? I have no opinion on this as of yet.
Two ideas here, one speed might be an issue if we are still caring about speed issues. Other than that, I'll address the other one later.
4. Arkanoid II - Breakout - fine.
What keyboard problems, I can get vails (or whatever it's called) moving as fast as I want it to, you just have to know how to kick up the pace.
5. Green Beret - Action Shooter - fine.
Personally, this is the standard side scroller, easy as pie, and as such can be leeched. You thought GNG was bad, I've seen a leecher play this one for hours on one life at one spot.
6. Gaplus - Vertical Shooter - fine.
I want to know where GB comes up with what they are, this is simply a Galaga style game, which would work in the tourney.
7. Sega Ninja - ? - fine unless there's a repeat somewhere
Sega Ninja is more like 1943, which is eliminated below, so it is gone as well.
8. 1943 KAI - Vertical Shooter - dog gone it - it violates the 1 game / type rule - so I have to give the opinion to throw it out :(
Yes, this one would be the more than one per style rule, which I didn't like, but that's the rule.
9. Solar Fox - ??????
Solar Fox is far enough away from the above to be allowed in the tourney. I didn't know myself, so I downloaded it and asked around, and this one could be considered closer to Robby Robo that the games above.
10. GunSmoke - ??????
The oldie is out due to same kind above.
11. Bubble Bobble - Platform I guess - fine.
I would have to say out, due to same kind of game. I am comparing this to platform rule and Solar Fox, take a look yourself.
12. Ghosts N' Goblins - Platform - Do you want more ghosts? - and I think it's also a repeat.
Out - Previous tourney, they are rather the same game, minor differences in game play that don't warrent both. Kind of like Pac- Man hearts and Pac-Man. (Okay, maybe not the best to use, since the maze is different in hearts)
13. Galaxian - Vertical Shooter - out on 1 game / type
Can't have gaplus and galaxian, sorry Krogman.
14. Karate Champ - ??????
Karate champ is fine, unless SF2 is in. This is like the grand daddy to SF2, (and the whole genre)
15. Magic Sword - Action Fighter I think... fine?
Side Scroller - out
16. Rally X - Maze/Collect Em' Up - fine(unless one of those ???? is otherwise)
Maze game, you are right, this is fine.
17. Klax - Puzzle - out cause of pnickies
Klaz waves must wait for another day, even though I consider this one the more challenging of the 2.
18. Tag Team - Sports - fine unless one of the above takes a similar type
Tag Team is a weak wrestling game, this shouldn't eliminate other sport titles (if they don't deal with wrestling)
19. Pang - ??????
GB, PANG! had it's sequal (in a previous tourney) I wouldn't consider it out due to previous tourney rule, but out due to Solar Fox style.
20. Star Wars - 3D Shooter - fine
Finally one of these makes it in, it's clean.
21. Pitfall II - platform I think - and therefore out.
Platform is right and out....
22. Championship Sprint - another questionable one - are we declaring this a clone even though it's an original and has different tracks?
Personally I would consider this on it's merits since it has different tracks and styles. Since there isn't a racing game, if we haven't hit 10 yet, it should be in.
23. Pengo - ??????
Wierd, but out due to Solar Fox style.
24. Wonderboy III - ??????
Side scroller - out (I loved it on the Sega Master System (original))
25. Moon Patrol - ??????
Personally I love moon patrol, and it's enough away from Sprint to be allowed in, again, if we haven't hit 10 yet.
26. WindJammers - Sports - out due to Tag Team
No, this is certainly not wrestling, but should be out due to enough like a side scroller than a sport.
27. Rainbow Islands - Platform - out
I'll believe you on this one, didn't look or ask.
28. Super Breakout - Breakout - out
True.
29. Bank Panic - ??????
Bank Panic, bad guy shoot up, but out.
30. Wonderboy - Platform - out
If Wonderboy III is out, the original would be gone as well.
Okay, that would make this is as the ten list.
1} Pole Position 2} Pnickies 3} SFII (Unless speed issue Karate Champ would replace if not in, since Karate Champ is within the 10 pick) 4} Arkanoid II 5} Green Beret 6} Gaplus (that's the name, I probably mispelled it once or twice during this meesage) 7} Solar Fox 8} Rally X 9} Tag Team 10} Star Wars
