We 're talking for deck cards.

Meanwhile I saw that "Baby Pac-Man" was archived, while games like "Super Duper Casino (California V3.2)" remain in their position...

Well yes, Baby Pac-Man is a Pinball Hybrid.

You can trigger all the mechanical score parts without playing anything, of course it gets archived.

Super Duper Casino is a 'for amusement only' multi-game, it's entirely possible the games within it are skill based as there is no payout, it wasn't designed for gambling, so it doesn't necessarily need to be archived. It's a bad game, but that doesn't make it 'not a real game'

Baby Pac-Man has special rules, therefore became 100% skill.

Many multi-games, even with skill games, have already been archived, why Super Duper Casino should be an exception?

I wonder why you remove the boards games. If I were you I' d remove the broken games.

But when you deleted the Megatouch series you didn't keep the "four play".

Will you tell me why you deleted those 3 "slikshots"?

It's still a broken game, you're only playing part of it, the entire power-up system etc. revolves around the pinball table.

No better than playing on any other broken game, no better than any of sauron's uploads.

This is getting absurd, all Othellos archived, gfire2 archived (I've spent so much time to finish this one).
Gundealr/primella archived ?? why ? because in puzzle/card you've "card". Basically it involves same gameplay than tetris (maybe more difficult).
Or next step is to archive puzzle games ?

And all this without any vote ?

Tell this to those players who followed the special rules and played many hours to create their scores.

In no particular order:

maiko is a mahjong game from the snapshot.
qad is an English quiz game, I thought the idea was to not ban these?
rotaryf maybe is broken, haven't checked, mahlemiut?
Puzzle / Cards is a legit genre, shouldn't be banned at all.
Tabletop probably needs a poll at this point.

Hi Pat,

It looks like the game fredmem is meant to be archived, according to the special rules, due to it being too easy to get the max score but the game doesn't currently appear to be archived:

Cheers,
