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

Hi. I´ve watching the replay of Ramatan playing GNGA, and I´ve found him making a new leeching after dying in the loops 5, 6 and 8. He finished and started 11 times. Was a great replay... but...

He died and maked leeching again. I could make a score very much higher doing this, but I felt with fear to have my inp reseted to 0. Because this game has rule of leechings, no??

So, I suggest for we making a vote. To keep this settings or play with 5 lifes. a default first with 20.000 and the second and last with 70.000?

Please, give your answers and opnions, thanks.

Does he earns any extramen while he leeches? I mean does he gets more extramen than he dies?

Anyway, I vote for a 5men only for all the gng-games (gng, gnga, gngt, makaimur, makaimuc, makaimug)

It will be much more fun to play on those settings in my opinions.

No QRS. He played honestly. But he died on 5th loop. and he made a leeching. He made a new leeching with the other life. Is pretty good if we play without those very much extra lifes, because technique will be more important than leech...

Innuendo - I hope you don't mind me clarifying what you're saying...

What the recording in question did was leech on stage 4, the fire bridge, twice on each loop. I.E. he leeched once, died, and leeched again, then finished on those three loops. The vote in question is to ban this leeching. Similarily, stage 3 leeching, the zombie leeching, is deadly illegal, in other words, you get zeroed if you do it for more than one life / loop.

Well, I'm for more entertaining recordings all the time, so aye on both motions.

But Gameboy9, isn´t a problem make these leechs if the player have the only 5 men. Understand?? the problem is the very extra lifes that you get when you make 70.000 all the time. If the people vote for gng and all his clones to play with 5 men, the problem will be solved.

5 Men for GnG does sound like hell, but it definitely sounds a lot better for leeching, so I vote Aye on both the 5 men and the settings that it should be at. (this is a vote, right? I saw gb9 say something about Aye...)

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

Yeah - either way - it's an aye vote for five men. GB9

People. I played honestly. I've read the rules before playing due on the page says "special rules". Nothing about the bridge level. And the ammount of points is very low (100 pts), and i LOST A LIVE "LOST" not killed thinking to get more points. As you can see this only was 1 time, i think this is not point leech. Ammount of 5000 points of 3648700 is leech?. Innuendo the settings for this game MUST BE 5 lives. No more when i saw your .inp 10+ extra lives i was crazy. On gnga clone must be 5 lives maximum in my opinion too. gnga clone sux a lot, very easy to get 10+ extra lives. GNGT was the game i played on real arcade maybe here the settings can be ok. As you can see on my inp. Turns 10-11-12 i played all levels without getting any points. Only going ahead without stopping in any place. I think that is not point leech. Well people, im newby on marp.retrogames.com only 1 week old, but im a honest player. If my record is refused, i would like see a REAL special settings page. now i have questions: if you LOST a live honestly you can't get more points on that level? Remember im newby on marp. INNUENDO this for you: YOUR A GREAT GNG PLAYER, WOW :))) Never before someone to make me feel furious ;) I love your inp game. I saw a lot of times with my pop corns.

Ramafan. You´re a great player. I´ve watched your inp and if use the old rules, I can beat you. serious... but maybe you´ll be first because I won´t have permission to play with the old rules. but I´m happy because you made a very nice score. Of course you´re a honest player. But I didn´t leeching after dying on a leech point. you´ve died on fire bridge and made again. Me, not. The problem, isn´t you or your skills or the leeching! The problem is this number of lifes with the 70.000 points. for this, the vote. right?? congrats again for you.

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

Hi Innuendo. Of course, extra live each 70000 points has no sense. But tell me what IS the ACCTUAL RULE i must use. I saw your inp and you played with the same number of lives. So please tell me what "old rules" means. So i would like to play with the same rules. I wanna beat gngt and gng scores soon. Please tell me the rules. Of course, my opinion is 5 or 7 lives maximum.

-- Ramafan (indianamoi@hotmail.com), November 23, 2001.


Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

if the editors accept, the new rule is play with only 5 men, without extras lifes in all gng clones. Since now, I´ll play with these rules. So I think you´re the new king of gnga, because I think I cannot beat your high score with only 5 lifes. But I want try. hehehe.

Hello all

I agreed and disagreed for the limitation of lives. For all gng's series I'm ok, except for gng. This one is really hard. Who can pass the 2 devils in stage 6 each time he plays ? Not me, and I known well this game. Secondly, where I play to gng in 1985 year, the last life bonus is to 980 K. They are no more and on gng version bonus life is very important.

Latest : what is boring when we look an inp ? Not make 10 or 20 loops, but leeching is boring. So, ban leeching, yes but play with only 5 lives on this hard version is hell. Think of all marp users who begin at gng. And this is for all games. I don't play well to Bomb Jack and I love this game. I'm worried when I saw you would like change the nomber of lives on this game too. It's not a solution, you risk to desinterest players on these games and make a game for elite only.

I understand Ramatan. He play with your rules and you don't accept the very little leeching he find. And, it's not these 9k he gain on fire bridge that made is inp illegal.

I vote yes for reduce the number of lives for all gng's safe gng. When we'll be 25 to make over 2 loops in this game, why not. But we are only... I don't know if even you made 2 loops in gng, Innuendo.

Another thing who can eliminate some leeching is to made a ranking by stage then by score. Who'll make leeching if it's for the second place ? And why you don't propose to play in hardest difficulty ?

For the Olympiad use the usual rules for gng. No die leeching in stage 3, no time bug. But escape the fire bridge dragon and the stage 5 devil is accepted. Ranking made by stage reach then by score as all games where I'm the coordinator.

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

Francois:If gng should not be restricted to 5 men only, cause its hard you should do that to gngt too, cause its even harder.

The ranking Hard to easy (in my opinion and experience) are:

Easy

Anyway I still stand for 5 men only for all the clones AND gng.

It seems that hard-easy ranking of the game was left out.. strange anyway here they are:

From Hardest to easiest:

gngt gng makaimuc makaimug gnga makaimur

I hope it works this time.!

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

If gng its so easy, why nobody (except me and Innuendo) have pass the first loop in the marp ranking. The game is easy until we confront the 2 devils in stage 6. Made this version with only 5 lives is silly. But if everybody agreed, i'll play with the new rules.

Friends, i want a FUN challenge so i have absolute no problem with my score. Delete it. Seriosly, i have no problem with that. I prefer to play it again, with new rules. 5 Lives ? ok, no problem. But its time to VOTE i think. I see, here are the gng fans, so i think our decision is for a better gameplay. So 5 lives + 2 extra lives? 5 lives only? gnga clone 5 lives? gngt and gng 5 + 2 extra lives? see ya.

-- Ramafan (indianamoi@hotmail.com), November 24, 2001.

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

Ramatan??? Serious??? Hhhahhahahahahhaahahahhah. I´LL DO THE SAME!!! I´LL PLAY with the 5 lifes, and will be a very much fun challenge. I needed to see if someone can understand what I had to tell with the first message. Now the battle of the millenium will begun. When the Olympiads finish or before, I don´t know I´ll send a new inp. Now, I´m deleting this in of 1500000. I´m waiting you.

Well, my score is now deleted. Now, im ready to show my gng power again. Ok Innuendo, the war is ready. 5 lives between you and me? OK. I think now my reputation like a honest player is restored. Im not a point leecher. Now time for rules innuendo. GNG, GNGA and GNGT are the challenges. OK. Now , WAR. Brazil Vs Spain. On soccer you are best, on gng will die.

CHALLENGE ACCEPT. I Accept. Because I need to show you the Brazilian power. After olympiads or maybe before the end of olympiads, you´ll see what can I do. Right? Since now, I´m playing in these rules. You´ll lose for me. :) I like challenges, and this could be my better because I think is the game that I more like.

Response to ghosts´n goblins players, please read!

I vote in the affirmative to limit GNG to 5 men to prevent marathon recordings.

Indeed, all games that continue to hand out extra lives for points scored that can in turn be marathoned should probably be put into a similar category..... but that's what voting is for... let the majority decide. :)

I think this is a vote anyway... so the ayes are six, and the nays are one. The ayes have it - and the motion is carried. GNG and it's clones will be adjusted to five men only. Any editor is asked to carry out the motion.

Did I understand that correctly? GB9
