EAB Multi Platform League - Round 7 - Game Vote (MAME)

[TCD]

Voting starts now (24.05.2009) and will end next Saturday (30.05.2009) :

- Vote for five games.
- Your first choice gets 5 points, second 4 pts, third 3 pts, fourth 2 pts, fifth 1 pt.
- Remember to choose games suitable for competition play. If you don't, then you will get the treat of a PM from me, asking you to change your vote. If you still don't change it your vote will be discounted. If you aren't sure feel free to ask.
- If you vote for games that don't have a scoring system (e.g. racing games), post which game mode to play and how to measure the score. If you don't do that your whole vote is invalid.
- Edited votes will be discounted (unless you are told to edit it, and even then you can only edit the game(s) that aren't suitable) - so think before you post. Also you cannot vote for games that have already been played.

(Courtesy of Graham ;))

The system you can choose games from for round 5 is : MAME (upto the year 1999)

Gimme all your votes :D

Damn - the first iteration of Street Fighter III was released in February 1997... :scream

[TCD]

Also found some nice shumps that were released after 1996...
Maybe we should increase it to 2000? ;)

[john4p]

Or 1999 (feels more retro appropriate even though the year 2000 was in the last century, too ;)).

I'd definitely want that! :great

[TCD]

Done ;)

The choice of years is so broad it will be hard to come to a good voting, having in mind it;s so few of us that vote.

Perhaps next one you can pick just ONE year.

[TodaysForgotten]

shoot em up list for mame for those curious/interested:

RoboCop

[Predabot]

Now THIS will be difficult... Must think very hard about what to chose. But I would like to give off a special plea this time: not so darn many flying shmups. I feel like that's all we've been playing recently, and I would like some variety.

All right, here's the list:

1. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike ( you bet! Can we please chose an English-speaking version tho?? I want to learn the story of the game! The emulated Dreamcast I've played it trough on, only has the Jap version... BAH!!)

2. Discs of Tron
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game
4. PUNCHOUT!!
5. Rampage

[Graham Humphrey]

You could always play in the Super League too y'know, if you'd like a bit more variety ;)

[blade002]

I should have chose Stun Runner :)

[TCD]

You could always play in the Super League too y'know, if you'd like a bit more variety ;)

Nice try Graham :D ;)

@Predabot
Now how to tell you this... not to play a shoot 'em up on MAME... impossible :p MAME is *the* platform to play them on, so don't expect an old shooter freak (like me) to vote for anything else ;)

[blade002]

impossible :p MAME is *the* platform to play them on, so don't expect an old shooter freak (like me) to vote for anything else ;)

I am in the same army as TCD "Shoot or Die":D

[john4p]

The problem with the US version is you have to "install" it. This installation process is perfectly emulated in MAME - but it takes about an 1 hour!

There is a JPN version available that doesn't need this procedure.

Since there is no change in the scoring system between the US and JPN versions both should be allowed.
If you're interested in the dialogues and story, you'd have to go through this installation process once, if not, just use the JPN version and play right away...

Or does someone know if there now is a US version available that lets you play without installation?

[TCD]

No, it's 'one version or die!' from now on ;) No alternate versions = no useless discussions anymore :agree
So if anyone knows a US version that works without installing it, let me know. Otherwise it's 'Speak Japanese or just play!' :D

[john4p]

Oh well, there's still plenty of time 'til sunday for a Japanese-crash course.

[TCD]

Oh well, there's still plenty of time 'til sunday for a Japanese-crash course.

Tried that once... it's a tad harder as it seems at first ;)

[john4p]

At least its pronunciation is easy (unlike Chinese). Still I doubt I'll find the time to learn either.

So, like what games do you want me to vote for? :D

[TCD]

No, no Shoons, no no no :p Not only that we don't do that anymore, I know that Akira would rip your head off and we don't want that... no, we don't want that :D

[Shoonay]

[john4p]

With Graham's tie-break system Dangun Feveron had won. :nervous

[TCD]

Yes, yes with that system it would have won :p We're the more 'democratic' type here you know :laughing ;)

[john4p]

Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.;)

[TCD]

Exactly my point :D

[Predabot]

Hmm, how many votes did SF3 get? I notice that you showed the points, but omitted the votes. Well I wanna' know. :|

[TCD]

Doesn't matter for the vote, because only if there is a point tie the votes decide which one we play. If you really wanna know you can look it up for yourself in this thread ;)
