@Seahawk. So you are suggesting replacing
DonPachi with 1942
Adventures Of Tron with Flicky
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time with Moonwalker
DeBlock with Logic Pro 2
and add a new genre - maze - Pac-Mania

Anyone agree or disagree or have other suggestions?

Adventures of Tron was picked for that genre to throw in an Atari game. A more popular Coin-Op game might be a better choice. I almost picked Joinem » Coin Op because it's a fun easy classic game that most people haven't heard of. But a more main stream one like DK, Dig Dug or Flicky might be a better choice.

Anybody else have an opinion on this?
A few of the games have a small point spread. In a percent system first place in American Gladiators will be much less valuable than first place in Devil's Crush.

Also what about a rule making it compulsory to submit in every game in the contest and not just the ones you are good at?

I was surprised more people didn't submit in every game last year since it is a strategic advantage to at least have some score in every game. I was in the top just because I was one of the few to submit in every game.

If we use a percent score system then there is less strategic advantage to submitting in games you are not good at which is a good reason to require all games.

But I think submitting in every game may make fewer people try. Also it will lead to people waiting until the last day to submit their final score and make a dramatic entry when all of their scores show up at the same time.
