I can supply the files, and also a config file for WinUAE, or details of what to use in your own config.

Interesting nominations, necronom. Paradroid can be a long game though. Maybe score after completing the first freighter?

Yep, first freighter is fine with me. I might not even manage that myself.

Right, titch and Collywobbles - do you both still want to nominate Robotron? Bear in mind that it won't be drawn twice, and you could miss your chance to have a game chosen...

If collywobbles doesn't want to nominate another game and sticks with Robontron then i will go for Manic Miner (The Deeper Caverns) - Sam Coupe.

Manic Miner - The Deeper Dungeons

Oh and the sim coupe emulator works great and you can use keys or with JoytoKey use your joystick.

I nearly chose MM myself, but went for The G.Sisters instead.

I've never tried a Sam Coupe either.

Yeah, if a game is nominated more than once, it ups the chance of it being selected. However if it is selected once, as with every other game, it won't be put up for selection again.

Yeah, but then one of the original selectors can oick another game. So there's the potential for a game you've nominated being played every week, as long as someone else nominates the same game.

My nominations for this time around are:

Gunbird 2 - MAME - "gunbird2"

Trashman - ZX Spectrum - "Trashman.z80"

Gunbird is a crazy little bullet hell shooter and Trashman is a classic ZX spectrum rubbish collecting game. :)

Trashman z80

Right, the new season is about to start...


And don't forget, if you feel like changing your nominations during the season, post here by Saturday each week to get your new choice into the draw for the next week (assuming you have played the previous week's game, of course)

Stick it on the internet somewhere, and click the IMG button above the edit window when replying in a thread.

I put my pics in a temp directory in my webspace, but I think most people use web based photo uploading places like photobucket.

Yep, that's it. I was trying to think of something utterly unsuitable for nomination and that's what came to mind.

Great game though.

Seriously, though, I would like to change a nomination. Can I switch Battle Bakraid for Splatterhouse (also MAME, rom name splatter)?

Hi,

If possible, could you change my nomination of Nifty Lifty (Spectrum) for Ghox (MAME).

Nifty Lifty is a nice challenge, but for a week-long challenge it could be a poor choice.

Cheers,
Freshmetal

Just had a go of Ghox - what a weird game! It's kind of like a cross between pinball and arkanoid - my mame version says it lacks sound though - is this correct?

The version I have says the same. It's not affecting the game though, so it shouldn't matter.

In addition to it's classic status, I reckon it would make a great league game.

Isn't Splat the Incentive maze game? Where the maze moves and you have to avoid the walls?

There was a suggestion of Llamatron earlier in the thread, or maybe something like Smash TV/Total Carnage that is Robotron in style?

Zynaps (Spectrum)


Yay! for Zynaps. Excellent game. Another one I was thinking of myself, and I was also toying with the idea of Xecutor or possibly Sidewize.

I don't like to disqualify people's nominations, but Bomber is going to be very repetitive to play over the course of a week (it's basically the Atari "classic" Kaboom where you have to catch the bombs)

Perhaps you could pick something else? I have no problems with Kwik Snax, it's good fun (and a VERY different game on the C64 compared to the Spectrum/Amstrad version...)
