That's probably my fault as I suggested a shed load of games to play... feel free to list your favourites on the games list thread>>> http://www.atariage....howtopic=134795
I'm always looking for a nice game that I may have never played :)

I only list games that I can find ROMs for. This is because it would be very difficult for us to have a challenge if only one or two had the game. So, that is why there are some games that have been suggested that more than likely will not be offered up on the poll. I try to make sure that everyone has a fair shot, and can do a little bit of research on the game, so they can know what they are in store for.

These sites are good for games if AtariMania is missing them:

I already know about Homesoft, Fandal's site, and the Polish site. Some of the sites have "hacks" and we will not be playing those ROMs. For instance... Nibbler on the Homesoft site has you starting with 99 lives. I don't feel it is fair, and if I can't find the game on Atarimania, or check it out prior to game play, it will not be on the poll, until I can find an alternative. I am sorry if this seems harsh, but this is supposed to be for fun.

That's fine, am not hassling, like I say you're the boss!!! A lot of these are copies I have on multi-boot etc so not suitable for uploading to Atarimania :|

I am just trying to be as fair as possible... and unfortunately I haven't had as much time to devote to doing the research lately as I would like. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I can spend more time doing what needs to be done, so that all of the games can be played... or at least voted on.

I am leaving town in the morning and won't be back till late Saturday afternoon/evening. I will post the new game then. In the meantime, feel free to play whichever one wins the poll. You just won't be able to post your scores till I get the table up.
