Yeah, it seems you build the score faster on more difficult levels because the smart bomb acts on more enemies but I guess in the long run easy will produce a better score once you run out of smart bombs. First shot at it in this century and I got 33750 on easy and 48700 on normal. I propose a consistent means of scoring by using easy score in the tally and then doing the following: Normal: L=1, Hard: L=2 and plug into: Score' = Score*L*PI/3 So the 48700 would be 50998. It's the power of L so it's: Score' = Score*PI^L/3^L Note that if you let Easy: L=0, then Score' = Score since anything to the power of 0 = 1. You have so totally lost me... what is PI? It's the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and it's also how many diameters it takes to fit a circle's perimeter computed by people to be about 3.141592653. So given L=0,1,2 (for easy, normal, and hard) the Score to be put in the table would be: Score' = Score*(3.141592653^L)/3^L. So when L=0, it reduces to Score' = Score. Okay... having a blonde moment... didn't realize that was what you were doing.

Okay...how about easy...unless you think that is too easy for you. I will even do this...give an extra bonus point if you play on the higher difficulties. Be sure and post which difficulty you play on. Thanks a bunch!!

Easy, normal or hard? F. Let's go normal and see what happens!

I thought about that too... I tell ya what... I will go through the list again... and remove all of the games we played last year. I am not going to add any other games... unless for some reason someone absolutely can't live without playing a particular game....does that work?

Done.

Cool! Please could you add The Extirpator and Whirlinurd (I know I listed too many... again!) hopefully with a bonus round or two we can fit a few more in Done. I also notice the absence of Blue Max. Okay...but I intentionally randomized and made the list shorter....there were way too many suggested to get around to playing.

Okay... Pac-Man is now on the list...Pirates of the Barbary Coast is now off the list... any other substitutions... let me know.

List updated and posted.

Please double check the scores in the first post. Thanks a bunch!!

I will soon have everything squared away, hopefully!

Here is the one from Fandal's site...surely he won't mind. http://atari.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=1314 If this doesn't work...we might have to go with Homesoft.

This is the first game of the new season... game ends 11:30 pm ET on Friday, January 22, 2010. Arkanoid

The way it used to work....the winning one and top game were taken off each week. I got screwed up last season because I didn't compile an actual "list" of games...I just went by everyone's suggestions. This year I am going to try and get things more organized and working more efficiently.
