1. Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun - Beat-em-up. Don't see any problems with this one.(posted 9235 days ago)2. Tempest - it seems like every tourney has to have a game where analog control is going to screw people up (Discs of Tron, Crystal Castles, Marble Madness, Arkanoid II)... why should this tourney be any exception? ;P
3. Moon Patrol - more of a shooter than a platformer IMO.
4. New Rally-X - No, no, no, no, no, for the love of God, NOOOOOOOO!!!!
5. Windjammers - Sports. I ponder whether or not this game would be good for tourney play, since the CPU AI gets downright brutal in later stages and beating them is nothing more than luck. This game has always been a better Vs. game than a CPU game. Hmm...
6. Metal Slug - Platformer. I would REALLY like to see this get in. ;) As Jason noted, complaining about the game's 13-meg size isn't justified when you voted for a 14-meg game, Barry. :) besides, you've got a month to get it off mame.dk or whereever. Oh yeah, complaining about Neo-Geo speed seems a bit silly to me now, as we have had Neo-Geo games in past tourneys (even T1 had Money Puzzle Exchanger and 2020 Super Baseball). If RAM is a problem, play it without sound.
7. Meikyu Jima - not in mame35.
8. Elevator Action - Platformer... is this different enough to warrant including it when we already have Metal Slug?
9. Freeze - seems to be a strange sort of platformer, should be out.
10. Kangaroo - another platformer. If it was included something would have to be done about the leeching, because I know one person who would abuse that to its fullest extent ;P (K*** L****)
11. The Pit - seems like a maze game, seems like crap. Which means it'll probably get in. ;(
12. Vulgus - vertical shooter... Moon Patrol's already a horizontal shooter, should it be included? I'm leaning towards no...
13. Xybots - very unique 3D game. Personally I think it plays nothing like Tempest. Hell, the argument could be made that it's a 3D maze game ;P
14. Twinkle Star Sprites - shooter, out...
15. Teddyboy Blues - platformer, out...
16. Mikie (Japanese) - another game that's hard to classify into a genre, unique enough to warrant inclusion. And it seems to me that the Japanese romset IS supported in m35tg3, who said it wasn't?
That's enough, I think 8 games can be pulled from there...
