One might'n guess that way back, after some presentation of the idea that was largely ignored, one had to just start a thread on it to get it going....


Winners picking successive game: um, I dunno.....I'd have to go back to the original thread to see if that was covered and how. Which brings to mind whether there might be an interest in some way of collectively archiving these, including the scores table thread?  saint?...thoughts, idea, suggestions?

CrazyKongFan:

I don't remember who mentioned it first, but it was mentioned after I won Frogger (which I picked, 2nd place picked the next game). I like the idea of letting 2nd place pick the next game if the guy who picked it won...otherwise, the same guy could just pick all the games he's good at and not let anyone else have a chance to come in 1st ;D

Epyx:

Agreed. I think 2nd should also pick the next game if 1st wins it again. Even though I wasn't aware of the "informal" rule I made sure not to pick a subsequent game I was good at...thus I went with Twin Cobra...a game that although I like, I sawk at.

Ummon:

Oh. Right.

Man, I keep dying at that last double-copter with tons of tanks right before the first boss. No reason continuing after that. (Besides, I want the 'P star' bonus at round's end!) But that should be easily solved with a bomb, and by that time I have plenty to spare one.


Incidentally, controls-wise, the CP for this game blows. Not only a vertical button layout, but made for left leaders.

194,320

I'm in second place so far.  

418,000 on the first try is crazy! :dizzy:  I'm guessing you have played this game before.

The second level is much harder than the first.  I beat the first on one life no sweat, then lost all 4 lives in the first minute of the second.

The big tank is easiest with the yellow gun.  The blue gun works best on level two. 

What kind of setups do you guys play on?  My cab is disassembled at the moment, so I'm using my little 13" PVM in tate mode and a Hori Fighting stick 3.  A decent little rig that gets the job done.

The music in this game is kick-ass.
