Here are the revised placings for games by Mamenu definitions, based upon actual points scored this time (thanks to that nice Mr Zwaxy for his 1-2-3 text file):

Yip, Yip, Huzzah! The illusion is shattered - the Big Three are mere mortals after all. A quick look at their weakspots:

BBH may be good with his fists, but he can't drive and he hasn't got a clue what a vector is - nil points.

JoustGod scores only 9 points for Action and Fight games combined. Not as young as you once were, eh Jousty?

JSW must be easily confused, as he scores only 1 point for puzzle games. Lay off that giggle-weed JS, it ain't called "dope" for nothing. %}

And as for the rest of us, don't give up - there are still 2575 unclaimed points out there!

Very good job there, Fritzy!

I love it when our fellow MARPers find new ways to entertain themselves...and I thought I was the only one around here with too much time on my hands! ;)

Excellent observations on the strengths and weaknesses (or that can be read as likes and dislikes) of our players.

Now if Juan Gustavo would just show some kind of weakness...:p

Does Juan have a weakness ?!?

I blame it on him getting to play the games for free in his Dad's arcade. Unlike most of the rest of us who had to save our hard-earned money to practise the games.

I'm sure I could have been better at some games if I didn't have to pay to play - just look at how well I've done on Galaga since I didn't have to pay. (My old high scores were just on 220k prior to Mame......)

BeeJay.

PS: Juan don't take me too seriously - this may not translate well. :-)
