Llamasoft Lleague :: Season 8 :: Game Nominations

Post by **Muttley** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 4:33 pm 0

Hi All,

Season 8 will be starting soon, although we haven't decided the start date yet. Does anyone feel they need a week or 2 off from gaming?

Anyway, can you start making your game nominations in this thread please.

Don't forget to read the FAQ for game selection guidelines, and can you also have a quick bash at the games before you suggest them to make sure they're not a lot shitter than you remember!

Aaaaaaaaaaaeruuhg, Eyes is a horrible game

I nominate... hmm. I have a choice of two, and I'm not sure which to nominate.

One or Two, next-person-to-post?

Is Robotron allowed? We've only played it before as the Champion's Choice and not as a regular Lleague game.

No, because of the control method required - it's deemed as non-standard with the two sticks. Some people would get an unfair advantage with the use of X-Arcades, etc.

Not that I'm arguing against a ruling, but I've always preferred using fire buttons for games like Robotron; I'd rather use my good old gamepad with four buttons in a diamond shape than my X-Arcade for Robotron et al. - ZM

I know what you mean, it works quite well on Smash TV on the SNES.

OK, but can't the use of 2 sticks for independent movement and fire in this game can be simulated effectively through the use of a modern joypad and/or keyboard?

Surely people who play this game aren't using a control system where they can only fire in the direction that they're moving?

I shudder thinking of trying to play Robo on anything outside two sticks now

Nomination... hmmm choices time again as mine got picked... let's go for Mega Apocalypse!

I'll continue on my destined-to-be-eternally-fruitless quest to play Wizard of Wor as a lleague game.

That's MAME, natch.

Can I nominate Gigawing [MAME] or if that's too big [12.6MB

] then I'll go for Magical Drop 2 [MAME] again.

Cheers

edit: regarding robotron, I'm utterly crap at it but quite comfortable with the keyboard.

WASD for movement and cursor keys for firing, nothing locks up then for me

Gigawing will be fine as we should have time to sort a CD for modem users if they need it...

Anything over 25Mb and then I don't bother on 56k.

I nominate Nebulus - C=64 this time.
