Its not easy...
I suppose we should do ratings from season 5.5 - if we assume that the five games chosen were the most popular from the first five seasons, then this will decide the best game overall from the season so far.

Here's mine:

1) Bomb Jack - well, it's a classic, easy to get into and fun to play
2) Black Tiger - not too keen at first, but really got into it by the end of the league
3) Metal Slug - never heard of this, but it is really excellent
4) Bank Panic - one of my favourites from season 4! Very infuriating and addictive
5) Hyper Sports - didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Overall, as you might expect, an excellent (half) season!

Like 69, but bigger
An enjoyable 1/2 season , however I guess like a lot of others I struggled with time to play each week , I think a 'normal' season around this time would have been really akward if you had no experience of the games (I think I was very lucky that I had played all the games before).

For me the most enjoyable ones were :

1) Bomb Jack - One of my favourite games , a classic which I missed out on the last time it was played and I was amazed at the scores posted for this by SM.
2) Bank Panic - A really fun game and although it can get infuriating when more people come out I found that it tended to be because I was being greedy chasing more moneybags :-)
3) Hyper Sports - Still one of my favourite arcade games of all time , but i really had to struggle to play this one because of the timing of it , only really had 2 or 3 goes for the whole week :-(
4) Metal Slug - Interesting, and benefited from being the first week there was some real help going on there (people posting info of the hidden POW's and other hints and tips for the game - another thing this place is all about)
5) Black Tiger - I did enjoy playing this in the arcades , but never really got anywhere on it , I played it over and over last week to try and get a 'reasonable score' and at times it felt like a chore rather than fun :-(

1) Bank Panic - my nomination, a really great game in MAME and I'm getting better at it
2) Metal Slug - well, this would have been lower if I hadn't managed to reach level 3 without continuing... The animation is superb.
3) Bomb Jack - I'm still not a fan, mainly thanks to level 5
4) Hyper Sports - the C64 conversion was missing the pole vault :(
5) Black Tiger - what a frustrating, repetitive "platform" game

Bomb Jack - One of the top 3 games of all time!
Hyper Sports - So many good memories of the Speccy version of this. Love it.
Metal Slug - Never played it before. What a great game. I need to play it again when I am allowed to use continues so I can see a bit more of it
Bank Panic - Really good game, but don't know why my score are so much lower than everyone elses.
Black Tiger - The only game that I didn't like. Horrible to control, I only had 2 goes, but that was enough.

1 Hmmmmm let me think - Bomb Jack !
2 - Hyper Sports - Excellent game, need to get a new keyboard mind you.
3 - Metal Slug - Great game & so much fun to play, just never quite got into it enough.
4 - Bank Panic - Never played this game before but got right into it.
5 - Black Tiger (Season 5.5 Championship would have been a different story if it was Metro Cross or Star Force grrrrrrr)

Not Going on holiday. Again.
1. Bombjack - probably my fav arcade game
2. Bank Panic - although I didn't post a score, it's still a classic
3. Hyper Sports - still got a bit of RSI from this one, another classic title
4. Metal Slug - don't really like this one
5. Black Tiger - never got around to playing it, too many other distractions during the holidays
