Maybe a platformer or 2d fighting game or something? Tech Romancer is a pretty good one as you aim to get a really high score through the arcade mode. Then theres Rush 2049, and Mazo mentioned Wetrix, that's a good shout for a competition candidate too...
Well, I don't really just want to go and add a bunch of games to the Live Games list as I need to know if enough people are actually interested in them. All the ones in the list (except for a few which I picked) were voted in on the pre-poll.

also if anyone knows much about these games and knows some tricky tasks they could put them forward as challenges??
We can stick with one competition at a time as its good to have a week or so to attempt them but the challenges could definitely mix it up a bit I think.
The main reason for me adding the challenges is so we can play games that wouldn't work well for a competition (no obvious way of scoring or requires gameplay proof of completion). I will probably be starting another thread soon so people can submit their ideas for challenges. If I like an idea, I'll have that person make a video of them completing the challenge and put up the rules on the site.
