EAB Games League Ineligible Games

[Graham Humphrey]

Reluctantly decided to rule out Lotus 2 from the competition, for reasons already stated. But hey, we've still got the other two

Franko should be in the thread about ineligible games. You cannot have more than 175 points (AFAIR) and it is easy to obtain that score.

I'll have to investigate this one

Wow Franko sucks

I also happen to be really bad at it; is there anyone out there who can do me a huge favour (i.e. do my job for me ) and play it themselves to see if they can confirm what mailman says?

Back in 1997 I would seriously reconsider that offer GH, when me gaming buddie with his A500 was still around and we did enjoyed playing it in 2p mode

Franko is a special game for Polish people. It gives you the feeling of early post-socialism times with ubiquitous supermarkets of one brand (Spolem). Also all of these voices you can hear during the game are understandable only for Polish people. There is a lot of polish equivalents for english: "Suck it", "I will crush you/smash you", "I'll get you", "Get lost, loser", "Toss off, sucker" and more. Also the bonus round when you are driving FSO 126p (polish called it "maluch" (english - troddler) is very "from our (Poles) times". Nevertheless, the game could have been done a lot of better.

Back to your question, you must kill all the buddies which are exactly 175. It is pretty easy to achieve, especially when you can beat all the enemies using just one blow, and being precise, one kick: high kick. You can kick and jump on them which is the easiest way to walk through the game. Of course if you like, you can play with them using all these sophisticated punches, kickings, headings, kneeings and so on...

My high score table from this game is filled only with one score: 175. The only difference is who got it: me or my brother.

Hmm, probably best not to allow this then, it won't be much of a competition after all

Also (although I can't see many people losing sleep over this one) Bubble Dizzy is banned as extra lives, stupidly, regenerate when you die, meaning you can basically get an extra life, die, get it again, die, etc, just to build up a massive score. (Thanks Jason for pointing this one out!)
