Dear Mr. Chris Parsley,(posted 9429 days ago)Please pay attention to the news and to the posts before posting. I am not scratching gambling games because of luck, I am scratching them because Nicola has deemed that they should not be a part of MAME, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. MAME was made to emulate video games, not casino machines. And, as much as I hate to say it, Poker Ladies does have *additional* entertainment value-- that's why it remains one of the most popular submissions at MARP-- whereas you'd be hard-pressed to find many players willing to plunk away at Golden Star for hours. Have a look at Nicola's post about Golden Star over at MAME Testers, and what he considers the *value* of someone's time playing this game.
Besdies, until they're actually removed from MAME, I'm not scratching anything, period (except maybe myself)
