RVG High Score League

[HomerRamone2084]

Id be up for some retro high score challenging... probably have to be an emulator though. (Even my robotron has a PC inside since the motherboard died a few years back :S)

Can do Addams Family without an emu.


I do have an amiga and ST in the loft but not sure if they work, how easy it would be to connect to a modern monitor etc etc

also

Thinking about it I have a bunch of the old XBLA games (pacman, galaga).. And ive also got a whole bunch of games setup to run from steam on my gaming PC.

Might be kinda cool to do 2 games at a time - a well known class and a 'hardly anyone has every heard of it' classic

RVG Chatbox summary from last night.

To select 12 different systems and 12 different style games across the year.

To get members to vote each month.

To maybe get a website based system like the old arcade.

To have shmup of some kind. (There are shmups that have caravan modes too - 2min and 5min modes which are great for hi-scores. The Star Soldier series has a caravan mode.)

A 40 line tetris sprint challenge would be good too - (lots of ways to play that inc. Nulpomino which is free on PC and Mac.)

Racing game with a time trial? (Practically all racing games have a TT mode.)

MAME because its something most people have in some form.. vast amount of games and screenshots for proof are simple.

Sorry I missed the chat, although it sounds like a few ideas where banded about. All sound good.
Hows the implementation coming along? Can we look forward to something soon? :^]

[zapiy]

Yeah, I am thinking we go the mame root this time around.

Keeps it simple, and simple should promote more activity.

[JoeMusashi]

I'd go for that. MAME is accessible for most, if not all.

Plus I have a MAME machine in the garage :^]

[Greyfox]

So what's the first game gonna be? Make it a good one now 😝

[Shadowrunner]

Bump!


Time to get this started. The end of the month is getting close so we could start this September 1st. We could pick one game from Mame and let it run for the whole month. Any suggestions for which game?

[zapiy]

You have actually PR emptied me on this pal, I was going to go with a self exe mame game so there will be no excuses to not take part lol..

[Shadowrunner]

Not sure what you mean by "self exe mame game". Can I get a for dummies translation lol

[zapiy]

Its a version of the game that has been chopped into a self contained version of mame..

Double click it and that game runs and runs without any prior mame knowledge.

[TrekMD]

That would make it easy for anyone to use.

[Shadowrunner]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I'll leave it to you to choose a game then   I'll be using my Xbox with Coinops 8 so I just push a button and the game starts but if I was using a computer that would be handy.
