Having just spent the last 7 days reading "Learn Excel in an Hour", I put my new found skills to good use and came up with these mini-leagues, based upon the game categories as defined by Mamenu. Information was gleaned from Zwaxys nightly high score text file (19/1/99) so is based solely on number of first places. It should be noted that the following games were strangely missing from the text file yesterday - Zektor, Zerozone, Zigzag, Zigzag2, Zoar, Zookeep, Zookeepa, Zzyzzyxx - so apologies to anyone who holds those highs - grumble at Zwaxy. ;)

It's just a bit of fun, but serves to show where individual players' strengths lie....

Undefined Games JSW 3 JoustGod 2

Action Games BBH 16 JSW 16 Krool 6

Drive Games Beejay 5 lagavulin 4 cicca 3 GOD INC 3

Exploration Games Angry 5 Dith 5 Renzo Viglona 3

Fighting Games BBH 9 Krool 6 German Krol 4

Maze Games Joustgod 24 Angry 18 Steve Krogman 9

Miscellaneous Games Angry 20 JoustGod 17 German Krol 12

Platform Games Angry 18 Krool 14 BBH 11

Puzzle Games German Krol 9 Steve Krogman 7 Dave Roberts 5

Shoot-em ups JSW 65 BBH 44 JoustGod 20

Sport Games JoustGod 9 German Krol 8 Sportsdude 5

Vector Games Randood 9 JoustGod 6 Angry 5

In conclusion, if you're ever stuck in a maze - pray you've got JoustGod with you to point the way (Beejay can drive), don't get into a fist fight with BBH, and if JSW comes at you with any sort of firearm - run like fucking fuck.

interesting stuff - I like the summary. :o)

The '1st on each game' file is complete - you may need to reload it if it cuts off part way through.

There's also a top 3 file, at http://marp.retrogames.com/txt/scores3.htm

Hahahah! "Don't get into a fist fight with BBH" cracks me up since I'm just a skinny white boy :) hmm, have to upload more fighting game recordings now...

Interesting observations, Fritzy!
