So we got together last night to play tourney 16. Balki did loads of practicing and I did none (as usual). In fact, I didn't even pick my games this time as I've been busy. So Balki picked mine. "But surely thats just stoopid ?" I hear you ask. "Yep" is the answer.....

Choplifter - "We should play this first to get it out of the way as its too difficult" said Balki. The lying git. I wasn't expecting to do well and guess what ? I didn't. Balki scored poorly in the first game. Only to be beaten to the "worst score ever" by me. then Balki played his second game for about 4 hours claiming "I've never been this good before". Yeah right. Nuff said. 2-0 to Balki.

Fly Boy - Like I said, Balki chose my games. Well, I can honestly say this game is weird. Theres a button that doesn't appear to do anything and your "pilot" seems to die for no reason at all. Due to lack of practice and the fact that I'm so hard and cool meant I lost both games. Balki now leads 4-0. Incidentally, Balki discovered the button is used to kick planes/birds/whatever but only if you are above them. And the reason for dieing for no reason was flying into clouds. DOH !

Pooyan - Probably the best game of the 4 this week. Really enjoyed playing this one. You play as mother pig who has to stop the wolves from stealing her baby pigs. Honestly its a good game - old skool style graphics and sound with bonus levels and stuff. Balki took first blood as expected but then I took back the next two games. Balki leads 5-2 (at this point Balki has won the trophy but we carry on anyway).

Cabal - My last game which even though Balki picked it, I'd played back in the 80's at some holiday camp arcade somewhere. My first game seemed to go on for hours. Beat the top score and everything. Amazing. But then Balki managed to fluke the next two games - which was bad sportsmanship if you ask me. Balki wins 7-3.

Well, Balki did win fair and square and he gets to keep the trophy over the xmas break.

Next tourney is the "Farooqui Challenge Cup" kindly sponsored by my good friend Asif. For those who are interested, Farooqui is pronounced "Faa-roo-key".
