Its that time again. Season 3 of the RS Retro Gaming League is fast approaching. The official start date is 26th March 2006 which is less than a fortnight from this post. Apologies if that seems a bit soon, but I've just worked out that if I run the next two seasons close together I can actually enjoy my anniversary in Gran Canaria in September without having to update the league - this scores some brownie points with Mrs Ant
Full League rules can be found here. Now's the time to argue the toss if you don't agree with them, not halfway through the season Nomination Rules: Anyone wishing to participate can nominate 2 games in this thread, all will be added to the random selection for week 1. For these games to be included in subsequent weeks’ draws, players must post a score for the previous week (e.g. for your selection to be in the draw for week 5, you must play and post a score during week 4). Games played during Seasons 1 and 2 can not be nominated for Season 3. Nominations that were not played can be nominated again. Games with ongoing Challenges can not be nominated for League play (I don't think there have been any in the last month or so apart from the current Champion's Challenge). All games will be assumed to be the Arcade/MAME versions unless otherwise specified. (Its helpful if you specify the romulan name [thanks Koops for highlighting that] ) Preference should be given to MAME where possible as its almost guaranteed all players will already have it. Other formats will be considered, but you will be expected to give fast and effective IT support to any other players who have difficulty with your emulator and/or game should it be selected. Bear in mind not everyone will have that 'Windows 98 only' Oric emulator you love so much or know how it works once its installed Try and nominate games you know if possible. I personally went on reputation of games last season and discovered I didn't really like either of my nominations. We universally agreed that the arcade Bionic Commando was poo so there's a lesson in there somewhere... Games exempt from nomination: Season 1: Buggy Boy (C64) Green Beret Gyruss Jackal Metal Slug Super Vehicle 001 Mr Do's Castle Pac-Land Rick Dangerous (Atari ST) Rod-Land Sky Kid Time Pilot '84 Season 2: Bionic Commando Black Tiger Bombjack Cosmic Cop (aka Gallop APU) Crazy Kong Galaga 90 (PC Engine : Remember when I mentioned sticking to MAME. This is why...) Ghouls and Ghosts Gradius Strider Rainbow Islands Rolling Thunder 2 Season 3 Nominations so far: 1942 ( 1942 ) - MAME ( Fairziff ) 64th.Street - A Detective Story (World) ( 64street ) - MAME ( TheMadWelshMan91 ) Asteroids (rev2) ( asteroid ) - MAME ( Antiriad2097 ) Bank Panic ( bankp ) - MAME ( Antiriad2097 ) Biomechanical Toy (unprotected) ( biomtoy ) - MAME ( Markopoloman ) : Week 10 selection Blue Max ( TBA ) - C64 ( RevGiblet ) Bosconian (new version) ( bosco ) - MAME ( BigDon ) Bounty Bob Strikes Back ( TBA ) - C64 ( Zaphod79 ) Bubble Bobble ( bublbobl ) - MAME ( Ghostbiscuit ) : Week 6 selection Chuckie Egg ( PM ) - BBC ( Sureshot ) : Week 8 selection Donpachi ( donpachi ) - MAME ( Mike ) Escape From The Planet of the Robot Monsters ( eprom ) - MAME ( Ghostbiscuit ) Firetrap (US) ( firetrap ) - MAME ( BigDon ) : Week 5 selection Hunter's Moon ( PM ) - C64 ( Merman ) Hyper Sports ( hyperspt ) - MAME ( Zaphod79 ) : Week 4 selection Mappy (US) ( mappy ) - MAME ( Leezer ) Motos ( motos ) - MAME ( Merman ) Pang ( pang ) - MAME ( Elgin_McQueen ) Paradroid ( PM ) - C64 ( russgalleywood ) Pulstar ( pulstar ) - MAME ( Mike ) Q*Bert (US Set 1) ( qbert ) - MAME ( Doughboyca ) Rolling Thunder (new version) ( rthunder ) - MAME ( Stomach ) Rygar (US Set 1) ( rygar ) - MAME ( TK421 ) R-Type (Japan) ( rtype ) - MAME ( Mawrth ) R-Type II ( rtype2 ) - MAME ( Fairziff ) Section Z (Set 1) ( sectionz ) - MAME ( Mawrth ) Shadow Dancer (set 3, US) ( shdancer ) - MAME ( RS200 ) : Week 7 selection Slap Fight (English Bootleg) ( slapbtuk ) - MAME ( Kaiserpc ) Son Son ( sonson ) - MAME ( Doughboyca ) Space Harrier ( sharrier ) - MAME ( russgalleywood ) : Week 9 selection Starforce ( starforc ) - MAME ( RS200 ) Steel Force ( stlforce ) - MAME ( Necronom ) Strikers 1945 II ( s1945ii ) - MAME ( Markopoloman ) Sunset Riders (2 Players ver EBD) ( ssrdrebd ) - MAME ( Koopa42 ) Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (World 930911) ( ssf2 ) - MAME ( Koopa42 ) : Week 1 selection Tales of the Arabian Nights ( TBA ) - C64 ( RevGiblet ) Tapper (Budweiser) ( tapper ) - MAME ( Kaiserpc ) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (World 4 Players) ( tmnt ) - MAME ( TheMadWelshMan91 ) The New Zealand Story (World, newer) ( tnzs ) - MAME ( Elgin_McQueen ) The Ninja ( TBA ) - SMS ( Sureshot ) Up'n Down ( upndown ) - MAME ( Leezer ) Violent Storm ( viostorm ) - MAME ( Necronom ) Wardner (World) ( wardner ) - MAME ( TK421 ) : Week 3 selection Willow (US) ( willow ) - MAME ( Stomach ) : Week 2 selection |

Yeh, tales of the Arabiaqn nights was a class game. It think it was the first game I played which had speech, although it was almost unrecognisable :rolleyes: The speech at the beginning definitely ended with - "sailing the perilous waters of the red sea" |

Added to to the pool. As you've posted a score already, they'll be included for this week's draw. |

Sinbad by Superior is a very cool game on a similar theme, particularly the Shao-Lin's Road-style level... |

Here's one - Tales of Arabian Nights Remix It's pretty much a direct cover, which is no problem because the original is such a strong tune. |

Not soft
|
I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of it... I've looked it up now and it looks a bit of a laugh - although it always seems to be described as "pretty hard".
:unsure: Blue Max I do remember - it was class. |

Yeah, it is hard, and might not compare well to games that are rightly classed as 'classics'. If it comes up then I expect to get some hate mail for nominating it. |

Added to the list just in time for this week's selection. As you've not specified which romset to use, I've just put it down as the original version for simplicity, though that does mean its the Japanese R-Type and not the American one. |

You do realise that means there'll be 2 nominations for Rolling Thunder, as TK421 already nominated it? |

No problem. It just reduces the chance of RT being picked back to the usual ratio. Would you care to specify your preferred platform and romulan, it saves me any quibbles later on. If its for MAME, I'd suggest the US Set 1 variant as its a single download then ('rygar'). |
