Bosconian Vote

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

I would like to change all the sets of Bosconian, which include Bosco, Boscomd, Boscomdo, Boscoo, and Boscoo2; to TG Settings ONLY. I would like to make this happen because the game is extremely long on defaults and i thought it could possibly bring forth more competition (yea right) if it was a shorter game of possibly 45 minutes. Anyone voting yes, can say, yes, aye, or whatever in the figure of "yes", or no, as in naye, no, shake head left to right, and so forth.

Oh, and I, for one, vote "aye".

Joe, it might help if you told us some backround: What are current default settings vs TG -settings? How does it affect gameplay/scores? Can it still be marathoned, when TG:ed? If old scores are deleted, you'll propably look a bit lonely up there...

The current defaults for the game are lives at 10K, 50K, then every 50K, with the difficulty at Medium. The current TG settings for the game are 20K, 70K, then every 70K, with the difficulty at Hardest. Putting the game on TG settings would make the game harder by making all the ships go faster at and a earlier level, and continue to even get faster as you progress, and make your ship go faster at an earlier level also. I know I, personally, cannot marathon it yet on TG, but it reduces the game time on Bosco from almost 3 hours to almost 1 hour, and makes the game harder. This also reduces your score, obviously. For Boscomd, Boscomdo, Boscoo, and Boscoo2, i would be getting probably around the same scores that I currently have up there. The game is plenty harder than the Bosco set since it has a different map and such on the game, and the enemies go faster sooner. Well, I'm kinda hoping that maybe this will make people give the game a try. I know it wasn't popular back when it first came out, and it prolly won't be right now either, but it's worth a try. Any other questions, please ask.

Thank you, seems like TG would be the way to go. But I think TG settings are not allways good ones, sometimes even harder are better: For example Galaga should be like 4 ships total. TG Galaga settings must have a history back from times it wasn't marathoned in any settings, I believe.

Anyway my vote is ayeah!

On this vote, the ayes are 2, the nays are 0. The motion carries and Bosconian and it's clones will be played with TG settings from now on. I will carry out the motion. GB9
