You must be joking or something!
Please think before you write something.
Have you ever though what does it mean "good game for a tournament",
especially "good game for Megaman Cup"? You either never read rules of
Megaman Cup or ???
You totally missed the point.
Prince Of Persia, Manic Miner, Lemmings - all these games are absolutly
unpossible for tournament play.
And, obviously all of them are available in original versions for other
computers. Is it really so hardly understandable?
If a game was originally designed for PC (Prince) it would be played on PC.
Must I continue with other games? I hope you understand.
Next, you must also count with long duration of some games. I mean if we
would play Manic Miner, there will be many players who will play it
"endlessly" - multiple times around all 20 levels.
Next, Sam Strikes Out and Prince can hardly be played, because there is no
score. Again, I must say you totally missed the point.
And finally, I don't know Exodus or Stratosphere, so I can't say anything to
them. Please, can somebody send them to me by e-mail?
If you give me 10 really good original games for Sam, I may possibly choose
1 for tournament.
Similarly if you give me 10 really good games for any other platforms, I
will possibly choose one.
If you look e.g. to ZX Spectrum, there are hundreds of games which are much
much better than any of Sam games.
And, obviously, if you look to MAME or other arcade emulator you can find
there uncountable number of games which are all betten than anything you can
reach on Sam, because of a simple reason - arcade games use better hardware.
So, counted it all together, I would like to get back to the merit: I invite
all Sam-users@ members to this year's Megaman Cup, because it is very
probably the last one with a Sam game.
Please stop trying to discuss what games are good or bad. You should rather
play them, not talk about them.
