Selecting Contenders for MAME ROW Anniversary

meleu

@obsidianspider and all MAME ROW players.

To simplify things, here is what I suggest: Let's create a poll with all titles we played and we can vote in more than one (no need to vote in only one).

To be honest, I already did it. But I found a limitation: a strawpoll can only have 30 items. Then I had to exclude 22 games.

Here is how I did it:

Went to the MAME ROW forum category.
On the top right of the page clicked on "Sort by" and choose "Most posts".
Went to the bottom of the list (the threads with less posts) and choose 22 games to not enter in the list.
Created a strawpoll with all the MAME ROW games except those 22 chosen on the step above.

Here is the resulting strawpoll: http://www.strawpoll.me/13912418

If you guys agree with this approach, maybe @obsidianspider can update the OP with this content:

Note: You can choose more than one game!

@hooperre did you understand that you can vote in more than one? As you're the only one who voted, I've created another poll putting very clear that you can choose more than one.

I've updated my post above, with this link: http://www.strawpoll.me/13913485

I did this way because I have my favorite (Pang!), but I'm sure I would have fun playing many others too.

I hope I'm clear. :-)

i voted again for all, and picked everything apart from donpachi (which i'd previously voted), and somehow it wiped that! now it won't let me update my vote.. odd! so donpachi has 1 vote, not 0.... not that it will come close to winning anyway :)

@dankcushions I've added a vote for DonPachi for you ;-)

DonPachi, Bosconian, Pang .... Phoenix ;)

Thanks for the tag @meleu I will vote and keep an eye on this cool thread. Maybe it should run for 2 weeks or more?

Edit: Voted for Donpachi, Joust, Chopper I and 1941.

GtBFilms

Voted for Mystic Riders - a game I hadn't tried before and really liked.

Pac n Pal was another one I hadn't heard of and really enjoyed working out how to play it properly. So I might vote for that too.

Fruitybit

Phew, a lot of playing... I managed to keep it down to six! A bit of everything, but all ones I enjoyed. Plus the kids 'forced' me to vote for Joust (as if I wasn't already going to!) as anything with a Ready Player One link is a winner in their eyes, plus, to be fair, they've really enjoyed playing it:)
Ones I didn't expect to like;
Raiga, Strato Fighter
Air Duel
Mystic Riders

And some I've always loved;
Joust
Carnival (via here, simple can often be so much fun)
Aliens

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out tops.

Let the Games Begin

@obsidianspider Hello mate. Are you going to open the "MAME ROW #52 - Anniversary Edition" thread? Do you agree that we can use that strawpoll I created and posted above?

If you are busy I can make the post. ;-)
