BJ snuck in a reply (so i want to state my rebuttal was to Mark L.s post) and this one is to BJ.(posted 9677 days ago)I would agree with a grouping of one game as all clones, but what do you do about pacman and pacman-fast (and similar games)? if you get 100000 on pacman, and then someone comes along and gets 200000 on pacman-fast (or an easier clone), do they deserve 100 pts and you deserve 50?
Also, the fighting games are Seriously different, totally different combos for the same fighter even on different games, yes they look the same, but they are different. (I do see where you're coming from, i was the first to hate the fighting games when they replaced a galaga machine in my old arcade, boo hoo :( but i've forgave them since i'm starting to like them. :)
