I'm considering Street Fighter II for the next challenge. If so i've got the choice of a points challenge or an online battle using the netplay feature.
Anything i pick has to either be 2-player, points based or a time trial (i did consider Sonic but the timing isn't precise)

Excellent. I thought someone might get close in the end but they didn't.

You could try any number of games. SNES, Megadrive, Master System, Game Gear, NES, Gameboy, GBA, N64, 32X, Mega CD or Amiga. There's probably more I'm forgetting.

Ah there's one i forgot. It's a shame the networking function doesn't work on this version. Online Bomberman had potential.

Ideas for the next challenge? I can get pretty much any game for the NES, SNES, Master System and Megadrive.

And possibly N64 although i'd have to look into it
