Tournament Nite 10

Tourney Nite 10 was held at Buks' house in Leeds last night. Balki has high hopes of winning back the trophy but would his desire for fame and fortune cost him dearly ?

Yes.

Game on !

• First up was Combat School. We played this as a two player rather than taking a game each. Which kind of makes it more fun as this is a Track & Field type button bashing game. It was looking good for Buks in the first round as Balki cocked up the first event. But disaster struck buks on the third event when he managed to capsise his boat and Balki streamed ahead. One up to Balki. The second round was a complete disaster for Buks as his shooting skills left him trailing behind once more. 2 - 0 to Balki.
• Next up was Neo Turf Masters. Weird game this - we played a 2 player "Match Up" game and seemed pretty even but as soon as one of us dropped a shot it wanted more coins. So it was basically a case of play the game till someone dropped a shot then the point went to the other player. Bit crap really. We should have played 9 holes per round and awarded the points to the winner. Anyway, it finished 2-1 up to Buks.
• Smash TV was next. I had high hopes of taking a 2-0 victory on this but Balki had been practicing. He even said "I like Smash TV - its not as hard as Robotron" which defeated the whole point of picking this game ! Anyway, Balki took first blood again but Buks managed to pull back the last 2 games to finish 2-1 up.
• Into the last game at 4-4 - Snow Brothers. this was going to be tight ! Both Buks and Balki claimed to be "Rubbish" at this game. Balki scored an appaling 5750 on his first round - followed by a lot of swaering (Balki) and a lot of laughter (Buks). Buks had beaten this score by the second screen and then went on to score a personal best but was defeated by the boss level. Balki then "pulled one out of the bag" and beat my previous round score but he was also defeated by the boss level. Balki had gone for the extra bonuses and combos which meant Buks had to follow suit for the 2nd round. Which he did. Defeating the boss at the end of level one and then clearing the next two screens saw the trophy once more staying with Buks.

A great laugh last night, but maybe more fun when you win ?
