Forum Tournament Round 2: We're going to Plaid

@R1n0X pretty nice, huh?
you should say that you played in a Windows machine. ;-)

[obsidianspider]

This game is actually pretty difficult (lr-fba-next) but oh my god, I can't get that SONG out of my head!

The scoreboard is now live. You should be able to edit, and put your score on the slide.

[R1n0X]

@obsidianspider Congratulations. Great Custom Case!

I could not figure out the Google slides thing so here is my score: 27490

This was fun. It's easy to lump this in with the other maze games of the time, but the smoke screen mechanic and chaotic interaction with the walls really sets it apart and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I won't have time to post mine in the daylight hours, so for better or worse:

[meleu]

This was what I've got untill now:

If I have another oportunity I'll try harder later.

[lilbud]

This is my one and only attempt. I was going to play multiple times. But I got sick, and couldn't

[meleu]

Can we start to collect suggestions for the next round?

@R1n0X I know you are a retro gaming encyclopedia. What arcade game from the 80's do you suggest?

[R1n0X]

@meleu My suggestion is Green Beret. Great Game from Konami

[meleu]

@R1n0X That Cold War atmosphere really takes us back to the 80's! :D

[Lyle_JP]

@R1n0X Surely you mean Rush 'n Attack? ;D

[meleu]

@Lyle_JP I didn't know this game but I saw in wikipedia that it was named Green Beret in Japan and Europe. The US Rush'n Attack name seems to be a pun with "Russian Attack".

[meleu]

Well, my suggestion is Space Invaders. I have never played the arcade version of this game. I just played the Atari 2600 version when I was a little kid.

[dankcushions]

IMO pick a random game from the 0.78 romset. give us the possibility to play something new/weird!

[meleu]

@dankcushions I liked the idea. But how do we do the randomization logic?

[meleu]

I think I've found something interesting here:
https://www.random.org/lists/

But we have to make a clean 0.78 game list (no clones, no mahjong, etc.).

[lilbud]

@meleu could someone else manage the poll this week? I see a lot of homework in my future

very simple to to via the compatibility list.. filter by only 'blank' in the parent column.

or just keep generating a random number between 3-4722 until you have a game that is not a clone, mahjong, etc.

[R1n0X]

@Lyle_JP Yeah! I used to play it on MSX. Green Beret or Rush'n Attack.
