Now time to post something positive here...

It's time to start a new and improved(I hope) MARP tournament. Remember, the slow computer cheat is out(with the invension of TG MAME 35), no cheating, no pausing, no anything!

With this opening speech in mind, it's time to vote for what you want to see in this tournament. Let me remind you of a few things.

1. The following games can NOT be voted into the tournament: (1) 2020 Super Baseball, Bomb Jack, Combat School, Discs of Tron, Mr. Do's Wild Ride, ANY Galaga(the '81 version), Gyruss, Lock N' Chase, Money Puzzle Exchanger, Pang 3, Us Vs. Them, Zzyzzyxx, (2) Crystal Castles, Jr. PacMan, Kung Fu Master, Lode Runner, Lunar Rescue, Pooyan, Puzzle Bobble, Rastan, Scramble, Super Sprint. All of these can't be voted because of the rule that takes a game out of a tournament for four tournaments.

2. PLEASE vote on this thread, not privatly or on another thread. The reason for that request is...

3. PLEASE keep tabs on what people voted, because according to tournament rules, if you vote for a game twice, it doesn't help it.

4. I suggest you avoid using Track n' Field or HyperSports or stuff of that type. Track N' Field got rejected in tournament 2 because of the autofire/RLH controversy... you can vote for it... but......

5. You can only vote for three games. Remember to think in terms of MAME 35 FINAL. (because of the version we're going to use)

6. The deadline for voting is January 10th - after that deadline I will randomize the games and post the results for debate.

OK, I'll let you go - have a good one :)
