New SpeccyTour

I'm so sorry, but today I've been very busy at work. Well, after counting your votes, the SpeccyTour 2008 will have a F1-style scoreboard, and you'll be able to choose 8 of 10 games like last year.

The scores will be: 15-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

A F1 scoreboard will give more oportunities to average players over super start players, because it won't matter if first player gets 1M points and 2nd 50k points, there will be only a difference of 3 points. The worst players will have no points at all, but that's no difference because in a percentage-style the worst players had less than 5 points instead of 100 points of the first players.
With the games, you will be able to choose the 8 that you like more, avoiding those you don't like to play...

And... these are the games you are waiting for. Alex let some comments:

Platform: Turmoil
Few years candidate, but never even close. Tons of fun, tons! :-)

Shoot'em up: Uridium
Again, few years... but 'strong' candidate. This one IMO fits in 'most competitive' category.

Was nominated, but no one voted for it. It's time for justice, spot light for this fast & atmospheric game!

Gem lost in oblivion, frantic action.

Complex: Codename Mat
Now it's time for hair goes up, nightmare of ST08, not that hard as on 1st look.

Logic / Breakout: Dictator
Total surprise!!! SHOCK!!!, management strategy on ST... unbelivabe!!!

A popular game.

A classic game, yeah joystick jugglers be happy ;-)

16K Skillie: Gotcha
SHOCK again!!!!. Forgotten semi-crap game strikes back!! irritating addictive!

16K Shootie: Galactic Trooper
To finish list in style, complete knockdown...w..ww..what?!?

We have some demos in RZX format for you to see how to play some of them except Lotus Esprit and Decathlon. Again I'm very sorry, I wanted to upload the demos as YouTube videos, but yesterday my laptop was infected by Beagle virus, and today I'm going to format the HD and restore the system. I'll try to have all the demos along the week.

To be honest on first glance I didn't like the decission of changing the tournament system.

But on second thought, you may have a point.

Keep up the good work

Well, I have to be honest too, I like very much the old system, but also think that the change could give us another vision of the tournament, if after this edition we don't like F1 scoreboard, in the next season people will come back to the old system, I'm sure of that.
