Jewel or Junk #1 Miscellaneous MAME Game Selection (06 July 2021)
34For July’s overall theme I’ll be playing a selection of games in MAME and letting you, my dear viewers, decide if they’re “Jewels”, or “Junk”. This is of course just meant to be a bit of fun but I’m sure there will be difference of opinion aplenty, and we may have to conclude that some games are “Just Plain Average”. If you want to try to bribe me in order to sway the vote that’s what SuperChat is for, but I might also just ignore all such attempts to corrupt this pure and wholesome ranking system I’ve carefully constructed.
The first episode has no particular theme to the games being played, although the shortlist is mostly arcade titles.
