+therealbountybob Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Fandal has the games ataraimania has the info Poll closes after the current round Hi-Jack (E.S.C.) PAL Only A lesser known, really good rescue game, the superb giant trees make you jump (and crash!). Whistler's Brother One of my favourite games ever. Aquatron Great scrolling shooter, nearly as good as defender and dropzone, really. Tomb Based Theme Round (3-4 Weeks) some ideas: Battle of the Tetrises (3 Weeks) We'll pit tetris games against each other in some sort of tournament to see which ones are the best (we know already but it might be fun) Kik-Start Crazy bike breaking fun! Zaxxon & Super Zaxxon Both very playable despite their limitations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedThunder Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Tomb Based Theme Round Addition.... if the voting gets anywhere ? Pharoes Curse ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Fingers crossed for Tombs Round. Dont really want to play Zaxxon again. But hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hm, Zaxxon was played in the HSC right before I joined, November 2016 (HSC13 R17). But hey, you won the round back then so it can't be that traumatic to play again, almost four years later. I suppose not many are left to vote in the poll, at least not among the active players and it would be unfair if the results were shifted around based on passers by voting without the intention of participating.

RedThunder Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 One of the few I've won :-) I do like Zaxxon, but four years ago still seems recent. Voting is tricky to allow for the passer by voter and then not play. Perhaps a proportional system could be invented. Anyway, its just for fun How about Lode Runner ? IGMC.

carlsson Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Well, we smashed Lode Runner as recently as Feb 2019. Regarding the tomb games suggested in this poll, obviously Pharaoh's Pyramid (Q*Bert) and Lorien's Tomb (Puzznic) don't belong in the theme. The other five seem OK though, but I think 3 or max 4 games are enough for a round. Pharaoh's Curse 7.7 Pharaoh's Tomb 8.0 (BASIC game?) Lost Tomb 7.7 King Tut's Tomb 7.8 Tutankham 6.8 (perhaps the other four are better) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
