Ok after the successful Team Round last season, round 16 will be an erm....
Team Round
Before I put the votes up, any other (crazy) ideas are welcome

We really need games with multiple startable stages if not multiple difficilty levels etc. Timings instead of scoring are nice. Alternatively could go for a bunch of regular games. Or each team suggests some. Round will last about 3 weeks so need enough action to keep people involved.

My tip is to play Kik-Start, excellent game and has 10 stages  

We could repeat Pole Position - I know, but it's a good game and lots of people have it... I was looking at other driving games - Pitsop I (II might not be as fun to play) - could do both Pitstops.

Some ideas:
Kik Start
Pole Position
Pitstop I (/II)
Whirlinurd (5 startable stages)
Decathlon (sorry vintage joysticks)
Summer Games
Winter Olympiad
Ballblazer
Trailblazer
Rescue on Fractalus
Beach Head I & II
Way Out
LA Olympics
The Great American Cross Country Road Race
Speed Ace (did anyone play this - I'm not sure it's very good?!)
River Raid perhaps  

Smaller games with stages - Hazard Run, Olympic Skier, Equestrian...
Bunch of other little games such as Turmoil...

Anything but this -> The Great American Cross Country Road Race

Also, Summer games has a lot of bugs that could cause invalid scores (I'm not swimming through concrete again)

Anyone here ever play Milk Race by Mastertronic?

I'm actually quite interested in this swimming through concrete thing...

Anyway, we're nearing the one year anniversary of my (failed) Ballblazer suggestion. I'll quote it to save re-typing:

Someday, can we have a Ballblazer competition? We can start playing against the computer at Droid 1 and if you win, you go to Droid 2 - and so on. Time should be set at 3:00.

You take a screenshot, showing the final score at the highest level you got to. If multiple people win on the final level, place will be determined by the time that you won. (higher time gets higher place)

Of course, it's possible for cheaters (I'm looking at you, bountybob! just kidding ) to set the time above 3:00, but we'll just have to rely on honesty. (yeah, right)

What do you think?

Well? Eh?? (nudge, nudge.. kick, KICK!)

How about Rally Speedway!

I'd vote for HERO, Spelunker, or especially Montezuma's Revenge (the one with 3 difficulty levels which, I assume, is the official version.)

I like TGACCRR.  It's like Enduro on Steroids!

Milk race   do remember playing it, don't remember much about it, it was a cycling race game right?

Would 2nd HERO, really liked this game, although it could do with a round all to itself. Looking back through the archives I see it's been played twice before albeit a while ago

I remember Kik Start as being fun, used to love watching the TV programme when I was a kid

It's a fantastic game head 2 head but does it have a score 1 player ?


Didn't Milk race suck ?! If not tell us how great it is    Does it have multiple stages and times ?


Remember folks were looking for games that are good for a team event

What is it with you and teams? Don't you get enough teamwork in your daily life? I've had enough teamwork to choke a horse. (a team of horses!)

I believe Mr. Burns said it best when he said:

"You see, teamwork will only take you so far.  Then, the truly evolved person makes that extra grab for personal glory. Now, I must discard my teammates, much like the boxer must shed roll after roll of sweaty, useless, disgusting flab before he can win the title.  Ta!"

I liked it, but it's an aquired taste... Looking at it now though I don't think you can select stages so maybe not a good candidate.

ELEKTRA GLIDE!

Would be perfect if it worked properly on NTSC  

ok it's too hard for most people and has no time or score at the end of the go - only if you complete a course could you take the seconds you have left as a comparison  

[orpheuswaking]

ummmm... How aboutttttt!!!


Different levels for each player in Beamrider?
