Response to Tourney 4 - The randomizer is in!

*1. Pole Position

Control issues here...anyone else want to weigh in?

2. Pnickies

No objection. Well, except watching the high recordings makes me dizzy.

*3. Street Fighter II

It would be justified to pick this if MAME 35 is used, although my earlier objection stands. It still might be possible to set some ground rules to prevent cheesy play.

4. Arkanoid II

I *do* have control issues here. Seems like you need a trackball on this one. Plus I find MAME unresponsive to analog input with this sort of game. (I still use Microsoft Arcade to play Missile Command with.)

5. Green Beret

Probably fine, except: There's the possibility of leeching on this one since there is no time limit. If you hang out in one area, however, there start to be harder enemies which I think should offset the leeching problem. Still, there may be a pattern to make leeching work. Any experts want to testify?

6. Gaplus

There are 8 difficulty levels and adjustable extra lives, surely there is some sort of setting that avoids marathons. Anyone know what the TG settings are for this one?

7. Sega Ninja

No objection. Absolutely nothing like Gaplus...being a little paranoid, BBH? :-)

8. 1943 KAI

Out due to duplication.

9. Solar Fox

No objection.

10. GunSmoke

Also a duplicate.

11. Bubble Bobble

No objection.

12. Ghosts N' Goblins

I would consider the T3 one to be too similar.

13. Galaxian

Duplication.

14. Karate Champ

There could exist cheesy possibilities here as well, although I don't know the game that well. Also, duplication of SF2.

15. Magic Sword

Out if Green Beret is in. Otherwise no objection, except often I see my health reducing yet I don't see anything hit me at the time. :/

16. Rally X

Duplicate.

17. Klax

Duplicate.

18. Tag Team

I can't say much about this one, even after trying it, but it seems like there is no objection.

19. Pang

No objection, and probably BBH's suggestion is good.

20. Star Wars

A little bit of control problems here, but doable.

21. Pitfall II

Duplicate.

22. Championship Sprint

I wouldn't call "different tracks" to be different enough.

23. Pengo

No objection.

24. Wonderboy III

Duplicate.

25. Moon Patrol

No objection.
