    #1 Pac Man destroys #16 Mappy
    #15 SMASH TV upsets #2 The Simpsons, but I think Smash was seeded too low.
    #3 Space Invaders topples #14 Breakout
    #2 Legend of Zelda smashes #15 Kid Icarus
    #4 Frogger beats #13 Dragon's Lair
    #7 Super Tecmo Bowl destroys #10 Bubble Bobble
    #13 Pong gets a surprising, and resounding, upset of #4 Tempest
    #6 Pole Position beats #11 Rally-X


    We'll have today's matchups up at about 4:30 pm ET. I made a mistake posting these too late but hopefully we'll get some good action today.

            As promised, here are the winners from yesterday's action:
            • #11 Rampage beats #6 Q*bert (Sega Region)
            • #5 Star Wars beats #12 Battle Zone (Atari Region)
            • #8 Duck Tales edges out #9 Tetris (Nintendo Region)
            • and #7 Dig Dug *destroys* #10 Robotron 2084 (Namco Region)


            The Dig Dug score was a shocker... I really thought this game would be closer! But there are your winners; we'll be geared up for a good second round next week. More to come...

                  All right, time to announce some winners!

                  Nintendo Region

                  #6 Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! plasters #11 Blades of Steel (score was 9-1)
                  #13 Castlevania beats #4 Metroid, 5-4. *as boldly predicted by BBAA (or was it Leo?)

                  Sega Region

                  #1 Sonic the Hedgehog slams #16 Mr. Do!, 8-2.

                  Namco Region

                  #8 Joust beats #9 Galaxian, 4-2.

                  Atari Region

                  #1 Asteroids clobbers #16 E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, 7-1.

                  These games are coming fast and furious, but in the second round we'll leave voting open for two days each matchup. I wonder if we should allow multiple votes? I.e. you can vote for a matchup multiple times.

                  Thoughts?

                  *the previous post has today's matchups, now open for voting!

                    We've got a tie in the #7 Missile Command vs #10 Paperboy matchup!

                    Hurry and break the tie, if you can... If not, we'll have to go to overtime and re-post for voting.
