"Listen on, listen on, this is the truth of it. Gaming leads to fighting, and fighting gets to flame wars, and that was near the death of our forum. But we've learned by locked threads, Gametap's learned. Gametap Thunderdome is simple, play the challenge games, and defend them in the forum. Two games enter, one game leaves."






Every week we will pick two rival games, play them with you, then head to the forums to debate the highs and lows of each title, vote for your champion, and hopefully crown a winner. The winning game will go on to the next round of Gametap Thunderdome to duke it out with a new game.

Robotgorilla and LittlestCthulhu will be in the challenge lobby all day, .

h2. Season 1 Recap
Round 1 70%-30%: A bloody and battered Magical Drop III is now exiled from Thunderdome. Its pride mortally wounded, head hanging low, it must now return home to Mrs. Magical Drop III and the Magical Droplets to deliver the bad news, there will be no Christmas this year for the Magical Drop III family... also the bank foreclosed on their house, oh and also their dog died. On the other hand, the triumphant Bust-A-Move is off celebrating with wine, women, and song.

Okay, GameTap Thunderdome is live, feel free to jump in and play some games with us or check us out on the live stream.

Before we dive deep into this, I'm a pretty big fan of Final Fight, but I'm willing to try Knights of the Round.

I'm pretty sure KotR doesn't have an elevator level, is this not a require for any good beat-em-up?

How long are you guys going to be on? I'm not going to be able to join you until I get home somewhere around 5:00 eastern.

we'll be playing until 8pm est

taking a short food/computer maintenance break. we will be back shortly

Looks like Knights of the Round is running away with 63% of the vote.

how do you vote for these games? like what do i have to do?

go to the and use the poll.

It was 50/50 on Pong vs Joust, and I just made it 51/49.

This is better than voting for president.
