HSC14 Round 11 Poll "Battle of the Classics"

[+therealbountybob]

The three winners of the pre-poll battle it out for play in the next HSC round. Poll closes Sunday after the current round finishes

 

Kicking Donkey Kong's butt in the platformers category was a boxing Kangaroo, Defender ing earth in preference to returning to it in Gyruss, and turning legs into laps Pole Position vanquishes Millipede!

 

Bonus games suggestions welcome, Kangaroo should be interesting to see what you guys come up with. For Pole Position perhaps we can play some other tracks as a bonus (there were some we didn't tackle last time) ?

I thought we might have played Kangaroo but can't see it listed?

Dunno how well they match or contrast Kangaroo (which I'll admit is one of the classic games I have never played, thus I voted for it to get a chance to try something new), but here are some bonus games that may be worth looking up:

 

Kanga - rated 3.0 of 10 so perhaps not much of a game. It looks a bit like Crystal Castles?

Kitten - rated 7.8 of 10. Not sure how it plays based on just a screenshot but the relatively high score makes me curious.

Wild Strawberries - rated 9.0 of 10. Looks like a standard ladder game with a remarkably high score. Is it any good?

I don't mean we need three bonus games, but at least 1-2 to accompany the main one.
