You got me beat.  I started with Jet in 1985.  (MSFS didn't count.  Neither did Choplifter on the Apple II.)

Heck, I remember goofing around with C64 and Adam back in 1983 and prior.   Can't remember a single game on the former though.   River Raid perhaps?

I love the screenshot.  :cheers: :salute

Edit in: Looking at gameplay framegrabs/videos brings back memories of those days.  Lol.

What strikes me as funny is that for years this subject is argued, for years there have been ample chances to prove the argument in AvA set up changes, using the SEA idle time, setting up custom arenas, but for some odd reason, no one is able to prove their idea has merit.
Arguing over speculation and concept is just a waste of breath, the tools are in place to prove your concept, but oddly enough no effort is being placed on actually doing something about it.  As usual, it's a good idea so someone else should change the way they do things to satisfy a few.  Just cracks me up.
Now, I know, the argument is already coming against what I just suggested, because it's been argued over and over again across the years.  Some of you don't have the ability or understanding of the arena settings to set up an arena.  Well, it's possible, and even likely, that there are far more things one doesn't comprehend about arena settings and balance as well, including why a 2 front war fails in an unregulated environment like an Open Melee Arena.

So, here's a thought, prove it.  If you can't, think about that for a minute before you continue arguing over vapor.  Anyone can have an idea, most people think their ideas are good, and no one wants to accept that they didn't think it all the way through,   but it happens more often than not.  Prove it, do something about it, or don't.  Your arguments have far less credibility if they are nothing but conversation.  Making a position clear is great, thank you for your opinion, but it's nothing short of an opinion unless you are actively wishing to change something, and if you intend for anything to change you are going to have to do more than talk.  Just saying you want something to be different is fine and all, but there is a lack of genies in bottles to make your wish come true.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

People go where the numbers are, regardless of the setup.  (What causes the critical mass in the first place I can't say.). This, too, was seen in WBs.  When it was a two-sided AvA WITH RPS everyone was there.  When it was switched to a two-sided MA everyone WAS THERE.

AvA is mislabeled for one.   For another, (as I understand it) it doesn't have the same settings as the MA.   In any event they're not the same the number of sides available aside.

Bottom line:

If you turn the MA into two sides the AvA will still be empty. 

If you turn the AvA into three sides the MA will still be full.
