Although there are 'only' about 40 people voting each round, I'm not stopping anyone from voting during this rounds. I think only the people who voted have the right to complain

reply to Grauw: I blame the hypocrisy of the current MSX scene: still copyrighted games from big companies are being spread like a virus while amateur games [many old ones included] are being withheld.

That`s not hypocrisy, that`s anti-capitalism! Support minorities!

Some remarks as regards akin. Akin is the most sold game of Sunrise and especailly popular in spain. We select here the best msx2 game by a selected group of people wihtin the MSX Community. I am sure if there were more Spanish people voting Akin would have a larger number of votes. Second is the so called hypocrisy.Cas Cremers gave already away BladeLords. Besides Akin doesnot work on the NLMSX emulator and RUMSX.

You interpreted my original post wrongly (or I said too little): I don't mind that amateur games are being sold, but I do mind the solid border between the end of the official MSX era and after. Even 15 years ago, when ROM games were still being sold, many people were trading hacked Konami's. This behaviour is inexistant nowadays. Although this trading is not right, and might be considered warez, this sudden change to legality is the reason why many people, me included, haven't played eg. Akin (yet).

This change in the MSX community is not completely correct. For example, several groups are selling translations of copyrighted MSX games, which is plainly illegal considering the fact that they are selling the game with it. I'd much prefer this being done the legal way: releasing translations as IPS patches for free, like it's being done in every other 'scene': NES, SNES, etc.

If you want to discuss this further, could you reply in this topic?:

Kurse all randomizers for pitting DS VII vs. Usas!!!! :S
Oh well, I missed some rounds, but there're few surprises in the meantime I must say. I had expected PA3 to be here instead of Lost World, fun!

Some occasions where a draw would have been a better reflection...I feel sorry for Puyo, but vs Metal Gear is NO contest

Yes it is... and actually puyo puyo won in my little chart

But then again, I _REALLY_ like puyo puyo, and it has brought me many more hours of entertainment than Metal Gear ... especially the Battle-mode
