Response to Power Ranking System

2 notes that Dith made I'd like to give my input on. Any clone that has any difference in gameplay, in my mind, is considered another ver. of that game. These 2 ver. of Ms Pac Man (original, and turbo) are unique and different. Therefore I vote to have scores for each one of them. Now, compare these 2 games, (galaga midway and galaga namco, or galaga (m or n) and galaga bootleg) There is absolutely no difference in gameplay between these games. With Ms Pacman turbo, it's different. May be easier to some players, but it's still different. I watched Billy Mitchell 2 weeks ago at an arcade we went to, and he tried to perform the "grouping method" he uses on the original and he said "man this IS different, and pretty hard to pull off". Basically, you make your own pattern and most of the time your trying to stay alive for 132 screens. Besides, if it was THAT easier, how come now one can get to the kill screen on marp? (I should speak for myself) :) I will work on a 1st kill screen on marp, but with better controls, I have done it many times in the arcade. Gallag is another clone that can be removed, it is identical with exceptions to 2 things: 1) Instead of Galaga, it's spelled Gallag and 2) It only shows 5 men max on the bottom of the screen instead of 8. Gameplay is 100%

Just my $.02 :)
