Glad to hear you guys had fun, I sure did too. I got to hand it to you turboStar, Sonic Spike was a great tournament choice! The competition was pretty intense. Some people really got into the game, especially that James fellow that lost in the finals. 
Yea, that was a blast. I feel bad we didn't get more chooties or high score challenges going. The Sonic Spike tourney took about 2 hours to get through. O_O
The thing that really shocked me is the winning team chose SNES games as their prizes after winning a TurboGrafx tournament!!!
FOR SHAME!!! lol
There were some great turbo games (thank you Blue), but I already had them all so that's why i went w/ the Diddy Kong.
I can't speak for Loong though.
I really wanted to play other people in that game.
That is the time limit problem you want to play this, and this and this, and you want to try to play w/ a few different people and they are all wanting to play different games w/ different people and then its 7pm.
Really great time though.
