Response to What about the time in the pc_ games??

Well, this is MAME Action Replay, not Arcade Action Replay, so I'm of the opinion that it's ok as long as it's in MAME. But I'm not going to whine either way. Certainly some of the Playchoice games don't work well at all for competitive play, like Rygar, because there's nothing to base a score on.

As far as ticks go, I think some games it makes no sense to have a tick limit (Mario Golf) while others it would be a good way to prevent leeching (Super Mario Bros.). On the other hand we could just be sure to have a 'no looping' rule to prevent that.

Or if we wanted to get real ambitious, we could have special 'speed play' categories for a couple of the games where only one quarter is allowed, and keep 'as many ticks as you want' play in the main category.
