Forum Tournament Round 1: Just a little fun

@lilbud it's not showing to me. Nevermind, we include it in the Round 3 poll...

BTW: I think somebody here hates New Rally X. I received a downvote on my post requesting to include it... :-)

dankcushions

@meleu i did, because i think requesting games isn't really in the spirit of it. shall i request the games i'm best at? :P i liked playing phoenix as i'd never heard of it. ideally it would be just random games from the mame .78 set, even!

Actually I'm currently kinda retroachievements addicted (NES and MegaDrive) and I don't usually play arcade games.

I'm in this tournament really for fun (and for exchanging friendly insults with @lilbud ). I will play any game you guys suggest even if my score is the worst.

"The Car That Farts" is a game that I'm used to watch the big guys playing when I was a little kid and I'm not skilled at it. But it's OK, let's forget about this game...

My internet was knocked out this afternoon. I did play allot but for some reason I've been having serious trouble with how the ship fires. I guess I'm just too use to Galaga and Gyruss. So my score is too embarrassingly to post. lol

meleu

You guys are very shy!

About Phoenix: I still don't understand when I have a shield to use. How can I know if I have one? There's no indication on the screen. I know we start a stage with one, but after some time we can use it again.

lilbud

@meleu you press "A" to use the shield. Once gone, you must wait 7 seconds to use the shield again.

I didn't know that. Must be the reason why I sucked at it :D

I did, but I still sucked. lol. For me it was just I couldn't get us to the timing of how the ship fires. I know that sounds super lame but this game always felt so different for me.

I say we should pick three games for Round 2.. I'd like for one of them to be Gyruss. If you folks want to add Dig-Dug on that list then that would be cool too. Just to have more than just space shooters.

But yeah. 3 Games for this weekend. Just find something we all agree on.

@qix77 Did you see the poll I posted earlier?

You mean 3 games and we have to choose one, right?

lilbud

@meleu Probably by tomorrow, (Wednesday). We choose a game. You will have until Saturday to practice

meleu

@lilbud be prepared to loose this time.

lilbud

Lose*

You should be prepared to learn how to spell properly :)

meleu

@lilbud I like to join forums in english exactly to improve my skill in this language. :-)

So, I'm prepared sir!

I think there are some of my posts here in the forum where I chose wrong words and couldn't express myself very well... I'm still learning.

Brigane

@meleu I understand you quite well because I'm an english rookie too. Mostly I fail some sentences grammatically but hey, If I think most of it makes sense I think other people do too.

qix77

@meleu I was thinking about choosing 3 games to play next time instead of one.

qix77

@lilbud I'll have to check out your poll. I've only been able to pop on here for like a min at a time. Work has been crazy today.

Wow. It's hard to a father of two ~~demons~~ little cute angels find enough time to play this much on a weekend... Well, I'll pick one of the 3 and try as hard as I can. :-)

I believe one one game would be good to one lace one because there are not enough people to do multiple games and still have it be just as competitive as the first week

lilbud

@qix77 I hear that, But replace work with school. And you've just described my day
