Question of the Week!!! (9/19/04)

I think the most important part of the game is the scoring system used. For example, in Stack Attack if the value of a stack had been greater and the value of ending on the ramp, I think the game would have been much better. I wouldn't have been simply a two minute brawl to get on top of the ramp; stacking would have been a viable strategy. That was what I liked so much about First Frenzy: Raising the Bar, two ball bots could go up against two hanging bots and it would still be a close match. But then the scoring system can't be too complicated, like it was in Diabolical Dynamics. I can remember having a lot of difficulty explaining the scoring to people that year. And if you can't easily figure out the score of a match while watching it, then it isn't any fun to watch.
