Anyway, here's my list with 8...no, I didn't try to come up with a reason to include Xybots...I think it's different from Vulgus and Tempest, but someone having all 3 in T5 would be 'too many shooters', even if they are all different styles.(posted 9235 days ago)*1. Renegade(bootleg)
Specifically, Nekketsu Koauha Kunio-Kun (Japan Bootleg). I'll call this one a 'fighter.'
*2. Tempest
I did a quick control test, seems to be ok. Better than Arkanoid, at least. I used to play this alot using Microsoft Arcade with a mouse.
*3. Moon Patrol
Woohoo!
4. New Rally X
Rally-X is the Great Satan. It must be destroyed.
Also, we played it last time :-)
*5. WindJammers
Sports. The low-scoring objections might be justified, but I'll let people who know the game better debate that.
*6. Metal Slug
It's 13 MB. This is smaller than Samurai Shodown II which Barry voted for. :-)
7. Meikyu Jima
Not in MAME 35. D'oh! Scrap Vulgus at the end, I guess, if we get a new TG version of MAME.
*8. Elevator Action
Objections to it being in Deca2000 are silly considering we had Bobble Bobble while Deca2000 was still in progress.
9. Freeze
Platformer. [Well, in any case, we do have Metal Slug AND Elevator Action.]
10. Kangaroo
Platformer. [Same reason.]
*11. The Pit
Sort of 'maze game', I guess. Only the digging seems like Dig Dug.
*12. Vulgus
Shooter.
(if there's need for another, I have the next on my list as being fine is Mikie (Japanese).)
