Rickster8 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Just a quick couple of notes for Season 14 if I may. If the Season is 18 games again we are going to need to have some Season 13 repeats. Having the 2 or 3 that we had this year to me is NOT enough because we have a limited library here of great games. We had Space Armada, Auto Racing and Deadly Discs as the 3 repeats from the prior Season. I would say in an 18 game Season the repeat number should be a 3rd of the Season so 6 games to me should be repeated. And then ofcourse 12 new ones. I would say maybe also that in an 18 game Season there could be a 3rd of them containing Bonus games. Bonus games are super fun and to me it really keeps the competition at it's best. I would break Season 14 down like this. Game 1 - New game for Season 14 Game 2 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 3 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 Game 4 - New game for Season 14 Game 5 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 6 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 Game 7 - New game for Season 14 Game 8 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 9 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 Game 10 - New game for Season 14 Game 11 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 12 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 Game 13 - New game for Season 14 Game 14 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 15 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 Game 16 - New game for Season 14 Game 17 - Repeat game from Season 13 Game 18 - New game (with bonus game) for Season 14 [Ending the Season with a bonus game would be super awesome especially if it's a close race] I love the scoring system we have now (regular games and bonus games) as well as the bonus scoring for breaking / setting records. That all should stay 'as is' to me.... Lastly, I had fun filling in the scores for Jacob while he was sick. I would like to nominate myself as Jacob 2 whenever he needs the help. I will chip in with updates here and there where appropriate. I'm a wiz in Excel, am a huge numbers guy and I ran various fantasy football leagues over the years so this kind of thing is both fun and easy for me.... ? Anyway, just my two cents. Cheers, Rickster8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I don’t know how many actual games came out on INTV, but I like the idea of not repeating games two seasons in a row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like an excuse to really give Vectron a try. The presentation of it is slick as hell, and the main thing that I hate is how reliant the gameplay is on the damn side buttons. But still, I'd give it a go. ? Edited September 26, 2020 by Intelligentleman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is painfully bad and the controls are even worse..... Just another POS port from Coleco, ugh. That being said I do think Carnival is kind of fun so there is that. Not sure there’s any other Coleco port I’d endorse tho.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectron could show up bonus style. but Mouse will likely not, and seems to be only be a fav of mine.

Cheers, Rickster8 Thanks for jumping in, and since you've been holding the fort on updates, numbers and that.... let me know in PM which games you'd like to play for Game 12, and 13. I can start the headline for game 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t think many people here have the homebrews in order to play them. And folks like myself that don’t play on emulation won’t want to go buy them for who knows how much money online. Some of them are very expensive. Edited September 27, 2020 by IntyFanMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I don’t even have Vectron and will not be buying it, so I’ll be a conscientious objector from the sidelines during that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I'm down for any game, honestly, but I'm not committed to buying games that I don't have AND also probably don't want, like you know what... If it's a game I'd like to have anyway, I'm cool with plunking down a little change for it. Within reason. In fact, I'd estimate I've purchased at least a half dozen games based on what we're doing in HSC.
