Default Retro gaming competition

Hi,
if you had to make a retro gaming competition using abandonware games from this site, how would you do it?

Im planning to throw one.
well time trial games, vs games, games with scores.
what games would you choose for competition fun?

a Local one, like in a school.

i thought of for games in categories like:
Survivor, try to stay alive the maximum amount of time.
highest score in a time limit
Lowest score in time limit withought diying, im thinking here with pacman, where you have to evade ghosts while eating less stuff so you can have the lowest score possible, does abandonia have pacman?

player survivor- where in a game like golden axe you have to oulast the other player while surviving yourself the enemies.

those kind of stuff.
I think it would be a diferent and fun kind of event,
anyone has sugestions?

let me think...

Wasn't this suggested only a few months ago, to be included in AT..?
With the data being generated in the forum..?

Sound familiar?

I'm up for a high score competition on a game that doesn't last more than 5 mins, unless you're very, very good. Like Frogger, as Himmler graciously suggested.
