Same rules as tourney 4 - Games supported by MAME 35 will only be allowed(though I wish I could allow MAME 37 beta 5 games...) - and only one vote / game - all successive votes don't count - so PLEASE pay attention to all of the votes.

The deadline for this vote is August 31st, 2359 GMT.

My votes are as follows:

1. 1943 KAI(1943kai)

2. WindJammers(wjammers)

3. Sega Tetris(bootleg)(tetrisbl)

Ignore the half-arsed effort just then:

I'll vote for :

1. Make Trax 2. Klax 3. Super Cobra

Crash.

-- Dean Ryan (crash@tcp.co.uk), August 04, 2000.

Well, it's the first time I'm going to vote, so I don't hope I'm doing something wrong.

1. New Rally X (I know, I know :-) ) 2. Canyon Bomber 3. Rainbow Islands

Bye.

-- Frankie (frankie@image.dk), August 04, 2000.

Noooooo!!! No more Rally X, please!!!

Ahem... My votes are: 1) Twinkle Star Sprites - for shooter fans, and those who like 5 minute games... 2) Elevator Action - for those who like old games (and one I am actually OK at) 3) Samurai Shodown II - for fighter fans, and to annoy BeeJay :)

-- Barry Rodewald (bsr@hn.pl.net), August 04, 2000.

Hmmm I guess my my vote will be:

1 Ghost4s & Goblins 2.Wonderboy 3.Moon Patrol

Come on Beejay!! Help me now!

ps Gameboy9: You have voted for WindJammers.. Correct me if I4m wrong but I think Windjammers don4t playback correctly.(I may be wrong of course.)

Regards

QRS

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), August 05, 2000.

hmmm........this is a pretty tough choice..........

1. Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO "redufo" - tedious, but good to see the scores on it go flying :)

2. Pac & Pal "pacnpal" - I'd like to see this game's scores skyrocket as well, instead of being around 200K :)

I can't think of any others; I'll drop back in if I can think of another.

Sincerely,

J.D. Lowe

-- J.D. Lowe (jedidrunkenllama@hotmail.com), August 05, 2000.

I vote for :

1) Metal Slug 2) Moon Patrol 3) Elevator Action

-- Giovanni "Gby" Solinas (tharon@tiscalinet.it), August 05, 2000.

My votes:

1. Defender 2. Renegade 3. Rainbow Islands

-- JSW (usagi@dingoblue.net.au), August 06, 2000.

Actually, scratch Renegade as that wasn't working in MAME 0.35. Instead I'll pick the working clone - Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun (Japan Bootleg)

-- JSW (usagi@dingoblue.net.au), August 06, 2000.

I hope I'll get the opportunity to participate in this one, if not, at least I can submit my votes.

They are:

1) Kangaroo 2) Teddyboy Blues 3) The Pit

damn - just when i was gonna vote dodonpachi and cameltry...

here ya go anyway:

1. gradius 2. rainbow islands 3. tempest

-- david oliver (davedude1414@yahoo.com), August 06, 2000.

Well, since I just removed my MAME 35 by accident, I don't know if all three of these are valid votes, but anyway:

1. Blockout, my personal favorite, would like to spend more time here. 2. Crazy Balloon. I'd love to see the later stages in this game. 3. Moon Patrol. I suck at this game, but really like it anyway. :-)

-- Abbe (Albin@518.nu), August 07, 2000.

1. Phoenix 2. Paperboy, hard way 3. track&field

-- Tommi (tiihoto@hotmail.com), August 07, 2000.

Hmm... I count at least 3 votes for Moon Patrol...

As usual, I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with enough games, but I think I've managed this time:

1. Crazy Kong

2. Bagman

3. Donkey Kong Jr.

I've always liked Donkey Kong Jr., but I was never any good at it, so having it in a tournament would be a good way for me to be forced to become good at it. :-)

Cheers, Ben Jos.

-- Ben Jos Walbeehm (walbeehm@walbeehm.com), August 07, 2000.

Another astute observation from Ben Jos. I think QRS was first to vote it, so the others need to vote for something different, right?

I still don't have a #3 yet; sorry :(

Sincerely,

J.D. Lowe

-- J.D. Lowe (jedidrunkenllama@hotmail.com), August 07, 2000.

I vote for: 1. Time Pilot '84 2. Rodland 3. Tumblepop

Thanks to those who have voted for great games like Moon Patrol and Elevator Action.

1 - The King of Fighters '96 (kof96) - I'm quite average on it, and I just love fighters. 2 - The Last Blade (lastblad) - I'm not sure if it plays back well, nor am I that good at it, but it's an awesome game. 3 - Hyper Sports (Centuri license) (hyperspt) - I suck at it but I like it a lot.
