Well, on the assumption that my maths was correct, and that no-one uploaded after JoustGod did his massive Gyruss improvement I will take this opportunity to give provisional congratulations to JoustGod.(posted 9570 days ago)JoustGod - you didn't do too bad for someone who didn't initially like the pick of the games and I've enjoyed our little battle to and fro. What a shame it didn't end in a draw.... ;-)
BBH - you took an early lead and then went quiet... it's good to know you're not a total machine as regular MARP would suggest. Then again maybe it was the lack of NeoGeo fighters that kept you down. ;-)
Krogmeister - where were you man?
QT - you looked ominous at one stage. Here's hoping you'll stay around for Tournament 2.
Cicca - a late spurt of uploads brought you into the top 4. Congrats.
Brian McLean - you gave us a real shock towards the end and did exceptionally well in such a short time period. Must be something in the name for two Brian's to finish in the top 3.... ;-p
Gameboy - apart from a few minor glitches - to be expected for the first tournament - I think we've set some good ground-rules for future tournaments and "Thingssssssssss can only get betterrrrrrr".
Pat - the Judge co-ordinator with well reasoned rulings where required and always quick responses to emails - especially to me when I was getting into a hissy fit when I couldn't upload my latest batch of inps. Not that it mattered in the end after I took account of JoustGod's last Gyruss upload. :-(
BeeJay.
PS:
usvsthem - shame about not being able to avoid being killed by laser disk imagery which effectively turned it into a hedron hunt on stage 1. I would love to see what this game looked like with it's laser disk images. Does anyone know if they've done a conversion with original artwork like they did for DL and SA ?
zzyzzyxx - if I never have to see that Lola again I'll be happy.
2020bb - I still can't hit the ball to save myself and I figured deliberately losing would get me accused of points leeching.
dotron - for a game I originally thought of as a crap 3d game I actually ended up liking it - a little.
dowild - I hate a pattern game where they change the patterns on you
lnc - ditto and I'll be happy never to hear that cheesy music/SE again.
combascb - I was pleased to finally complete the mission even if it was just before the finish of the tourney
pang3 - I think QT said it best "Too much adrenaline"
miexchng - I can't stage the way these "Tetris'esque" games always get to the point where they're inhumanly too fast to cope with.
bombjack, gyruss, galagads - what can I say I just loved it when these three games were going to be in the tournament as they would have to be considered in my top 5 favourite of games. (The other two would be Xevious and Juno First.)
