Reward: $25 (usd)
Deadline for submission to MARP: October 7, 2005 2359 hours GMT
Further Bounty: none
Who's up for a little one-on-one?
Okay, this game is actually from 1985 and I personally felt that the Golden Era ended in 1984, but KLOV had it listed as 1983 and I looked at it and sort of liked it. When I saw the error, I thought about switching it with Konami's Super Basketball from 1984, but I didn't like it nearly as well.
I would like to see what our competitors can do on this one, so we'll make our first (and probably last) tiny exception for these challenges.
Scoring, as with MARP regulation play will be point difference. Your score minus the computer's.
Use WolfMAME .100

Results:
1st: destructor@HotTeam.pl 30
2nd: Don Hayes 22
3rd: Phil Lamat 14
destructor takes 1st and six bonus for a total of 16.
And yes, 160 points in the lead with 9 weeks to go, he has clinched first place for the year.
And des...uh...if anything should happen to you (considering no one has heard from last year's champ, Ian Sutton, this year) it was nice knowing you.

Oh, yes. Good. I'm the winner GEGOTW 2005 I will fight until last week.Weehawk wrote: And yes, 160 points in the lead with 9 weeks to go, he has clinched first place for the year.
And, Knockout coordinators: I'm ready for Knockout. I think good if in Knockout 2005 will be BBH, Don and The_Pro.
Otherwise TRB will be for 100%

I hope to participate... 99% sure!destructor wrote:Otherwise TRB will be for 100%
OMG... I hope NO ONE classic game in this championship. Where are the competitions in games different than classic (or "old school" games)???TJT wrote:I'd hope more classic games in knockout.
A lot of classics in GEGOTW. A lot of classics in DECA 2005. And the same in Robert's Bounty. Ouch!
T9 was well-balanced (or at least with a few "very old" games), and the WCCs had a good selection of the games, in the most part.
Yes... this is the key. The selection of the games of one championship is around 75% of the success of the competition, imo.TJT wrote:Or atleast careful selection of challenging, fast, original games that you can play whole week and still hunger for more.
