Response to Please Vote -- proposal to archive mahjong/poker games

from Ben Jos Walbeehm (walbeehm@walbeehm.com)
So far, archived games have been games that maxed out too easily.

I don't think the points made are valid either. By the same token, ratings for chess would not be "worthy". Arcade games are whatever designers/manufactures/whoever decided to put in the arcades, regardless of what one person, or a lot of persons though about them. A lot of games in MAME require mostly luck at some point (for instance, because they get too ridiculously hard).

I think that on a vote like this, a lot more games should be included. Trivial Pursuit, Name That Tune, and other quiz games, for instance.

A lot of people might enjoy playing poker and mahjong games in an arcade. Or maybe even just a few people. I do not think that is a valid reason (nor any of the other reasons mentioned) to have them removed.

My vote: B.

Cheers, Ben Jos.
