Beat me to it.

Also, one last pitch for Donkey Kong Jr.

I'd like everyone to take a look at what platformers we've done for TR so far:
-Castlevania
-NiGHTS into Dreams...
-Qwak
-Star Wars: Dark Forces

Qwak is the only one that was a fixed-screen platformer (and only on the Amiga version).

Also, we haven't done a classic arcade game since Tempest in December. It'll have been at least a year and a half without a new entry from those.

Kind of to get everyone thinking. There's also Donkey Kong if people don't really want DK Junior (though I prefer it).
Gaming accomplishments:
Nibbler (marathon): 251,169,160 / Nibbler (one life): 5,263,360 (WR)
Donkey Kong: 423,100 [L12-1] (150th place as of 2019-01-15)
Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ranked top 5 in Wisconsin from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017
Shrek SuperSlam: won largest tournament in game's history (Shrekfest 2018)

I'd support DK Jr.

Dark Forces is not a platformer.

It seemed to be listed as such in the TR thread, though I only saw fast's "MAR: DARK FORCES" and noise's following "MAR: PLATFORMER" posts. I wouldn't know since I didn't play it.

I really hate DK and DK Jr. :(

Same 4 levels over and over, and I'm not one for high scores in a platformer myself.
