At Long Last! The 2009 Shodown Begins! - ROUND ONE!

[Rhindle The Red]

Yes, I know I never seem to be able to get these things together in a timely fashion. No excuses, but things have gotten crazy at home with six little kittens running around. I just don't have the free time I once did.

 

Anywhooo....

 

Here are the four fights that will kick off the 2009 AtariAge Vintage Arcade Game Shodown:

 

Pac-Man vs. Bubble Bobble

 

Star Castle vs. Stargate

 

Arkanoid vs. Tapper

 

Bosconian vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 

The full brackets of the tournament are attached. A few titles were nominated, but did not make the cut (ties were decided by lots):

 

TMNT II

Missile Command

Salamander

Elevator Action

Gyruss

Pac-Mania

Space Invaders, pt. II

John Elway's Team Quarterback

I agree, it's a travesty. But that's why we play the game, so to speak... You win some, you lose some.
