Re: Archive these games -topic
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...

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'

Many multi-games, even with skill games, have already been archived, why Super Duper Casino should be an exception?
Re: Archive these games -topic
Some of the stuff archivied is questionable to be honest.
On top of my head, and pretty sure there's more (i.e. haven't looked at hanafuda at all, not being able to play it personally):

Re: Archive these games -topic
I wonder why you remove the boards games. If I were you I' d remove the broken games.
Will you tell me why you deleted those 3 "slikshots"?
But when you deleted the Megatouch series you didn't keep the "four play".***PL*** wrote: usg32 [Multiplay], NOT ALL REMOVED -- kept Brick-Break & Wizard of Words

Re: Archive these games -topic
It's still a broken game, you're only playing part of it, the entire power-up system etc. revolves around the pinball table.PP. wrote: Baby Pac-Man has special rules, therefore became 100% skill.
No better than playing on any other broken game, no better than any of sauron's uploads.

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 ?

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.
Re: Archive these games -topic
rotaryf should work, just imperfect sound.

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:
