MGL 27 - Get your nominations in now


Recommended Posts

I am loving some of these nominations. It makes me glad that I never chose them :)

 

 

Ha, yeah there are a number I am going to look up in my cab today. Twinkle Star Sprites will be first, that sounds like a breakfast cereal.

Nominations are now closed.

 

I'll do my level best to get at least one game up Thursday night - probably the wild card game. And then the first of the regular 8 games up on Friday night. Work has been hectic, so forgive me if I'm a bit slow getting it done.

 

The wild card was a bit of a bust - I think without double checking only one game got 2 votes so that is what we'll play. A quick hint, it is a classic, it has been played before but I think it's also a game that lends itself to being played a fair bit over the next 2 months or so without being hated by too many people.

 

Some pretty big changes this MGL, let me know what you think as we go along. Whatever you like or don't like will shape future MGL's and hopefully keep them fresh and keep people wanting to participate.

I also missed NOMs.....due to the bottle of Merlot in front of me....but as I have so much happening again I might not get many games in anyway. Still looking forward to the comp and having a reason to power up the cabs, some great games have been posted and although I won't have time to compete at the top end I will enjoy a quick bash at a few and the banter on AA.

 

Thanks John for spending the time to run another MGL :)

Well my short term memory is well and truly shot (surely alcohol isn't to blame? :lol). There were actually 5 games that got 2 nominations in the wild card process. I've selected a random one (using http://www.random.org for anyone who wonders if my picks really are random :D).

 

The wild card will start tomorrow night at around 6:30pm EST (7:30 AEDT) and at various other times for those who don't live in on the east coast of Australia - I'm sorry, but I'm far to lazy to look them all up :) Keep an eye on the MGL27 section and when it's up it's up.

Better not be Bump n jump :realmad:

 

Did I forget to mention that one of the privileges of running an MGL is that your wild card selection counts for double that of everyone else? The ROM is BNJ for anyone that is wondering and who wants a head start in the competition.

Daylight savings here 7.15 pm oh well may as well go and play some pinball :D

 

You know we are backwards up here in Qld and don't have DLS, hence the 6:30 AEST I posted for the game start. I aimed for 6:30p, but dinner got in the way :) 20 minutes isn't too much delay is it?

 

Game on.

You were right. I fired up Exciting Hour tonight and the first opponent was Insane Worrier.

 

yeah it was the one i played at the arcades, i didn't know about mat mania until mame and i've played that since as i prefer cory to yari....

 

now that it didn't come up in mgl must give it a bash i think.

i only saw it as Mat Mania, i loved it in Arcades but for some reason it's never been a fave in Mame. I think I probably forgot the moves etc.

 

It was said about an MGLér of the past - he was so good at Exciting Hour, he could play it until it became Boring Hour.

lol there's not that many moves :)

 

yeah i can see it becoming boring hour, by the time i've done a couple of matches after the title fight i'm done and i'll just play for ring outs to entertain myself, never tried to see how long i can play for which is why i was hoping for it to come up..

 

the two player version (mania challenge) was such a let down, the reversal moves are cool but with only 3 opponents i'd rather play the older ones.

There are a few moves, pretty much hold up, down, left or right when in a grapple and press either button for a move.

 

I think this was the first wrestling game that actually allowed you to control the fighter enough to choose what move you are trying to do.

 

I only had one game last night but I got called for dinner so I never got to finish it.

yeah, but when i have fired it up i seem to do really badly compared to (cough) 30-odd years ago and i'm too lazy to look up game wikis etc, i'm more likely to just play something else instead. thanks @JustAnotherRat I'll try those - HOLD is the key, yeahhhhhhhh ! geez, i'm hammering every button and reefing the joystick around :redface
