Is there anything hidden in these for really high score? Like a message or picture that comes up at 1000 or 2000 points? Like the Goddess of Nature at the end of Wyvern Tales ?. That picture made the whole journey a perfect end ?. Or What hatches out of all those eggs I'm carrying across?

No I feel like there is some input lag on Argon controls on Android phones. I tried Asteroid Chasers since I own the physical cart on Lynx and there is definitely a difference in controls placing and moving the pieces around ?. If I can get good scores with lag then I can get awesome scores on the Lynx?.

???Showdown made me so mad I had to go play Jelly Jump to cool down.

I got sidetracked at the 286 part. DOS 3.0, Simcity, Starflight, Ultima ?...

I wish this was longer. I played through it twice in a couple hours. Really great game from Karri.

You have an additional week to try to beat me in HSC anyways, I'm sure you're going to play it lots more ?

That sounds like a challenge?

I keep playing RRR in evenings. Kinda puts me to sleep, made it up to 1000 junk droids finally ?

On Duty. I like the humor in this. I feel like it read my mind as its about time to sleep now.

I got a better score on Canyons also. I still cannot beat Karri though.

I really like jelly jump. I did much better today. Its hard on my phone to play these though.

Yeah I agree with you. You can still get the old ones though. Actually thebrewingcompany will do custom jobs and print out carts. Not sure what they cost you though.

Gamegear Mini! Did you buy 1 or all of the GG mini packages? I kinda wish they would have done a Phantasy Star one with translated Gaiden, Adventure, and Text Adventure?. And they're too mini for my old hands for any length of time...

Nah I don't think everyone realizes how big of an upgrade over the proto this is. And its all just for fun anyways, though a lifetime supply of JELLO does sound nice ?.

I have a co-worker who recently took in several foster children. They had known the family and the kids knew who they were, the parents had overdosed several times and lost their kids for the foreseeable future. I talk about games frequently at work though most ignore me. They are more into hunting, fishing, and trucks. This day however, my co-worker asked me where to buy PS2 games for a 9 and 11 year old. Turns out he has a nearly new PS2 he hasn't used in years he wanted to hook up for the foster kids for christmas. He doesn't have any games though. We also have the same low paying job and I know they don't have much for christmas for those kids. I really didn't have good answer for him to start with. Heck even 360 is slim pickings at Gamestop around here now that the generation has rotated out. A generation before that? Ebay and Amazon but trying to explain how to setup accounts and go about finding cheap deals, let alone pick stuff out to someone that never has? I knew I had boxes of PS2 stuff put away and doubles of many games. Plus I know I had some kids games I had kept that my own kids had played. I dug out several boxes at home and came up with a Christmas donation for him. I had more but they weren't as nice, missing cases or discs were questionable. I wasn't going to do GTA as a free donation but that was the only game the oldest kid had specifically asked for. As for content, these kids saw magnitudes worse in real life than what an old GTA has in it. A racing game, several cartoon platformers, superheroes, an army shooter, GTA, a cross section of genres. The way my co-workers face lit up when receiving them makes me think he might enjoy these with the kids too. So its no PS5 or anything new but it's nice they'll have some fun stuff to play on Christmas morning now.

I like a good twin stick shooter. When I was younger we had the imported Saturn controller to play Virtua On with. That was awesome at home. Smash TV, Shock Troopers, Cyber Sled, T-Mek at the arcades all ate up my pocket money through the years. Now many years on I picked up Total Carnage for Jaguar. I had no expectations going into it, just a new shooter for me to try. I never played this anywhere else so its hard to compare to other versions of it. The graphics are good and highly animated. The death animation when your guy blows up is hilarious. You can play 2 player on screen which is great, and I think this is how it should be played. It is hard going it by yourself. You can pick up some screen clearing bombs and many power ups for guns, its still hard. Sound is ok, it has music, nothing spectacular though. There are quite a few voice samples in this, those are impressive and clear when they play. The controls now, this game is not made for a d-pad. It works ok but, you have to stutter for a second then point in a direction. Its either move or point, with the same control pad. I got the hang of it but its not as much fun as with an actual twin stick or stick/knob combo. Worth a $90 purchase? If you already own the likes of Skyhammer, Protector, Defender, and want something new sure. Its not a terrible game by any means.

? Very good point about naming.

Centipede - Lynx - additional 110min (I got this weeks HSC beat with all this Centipede time in) Protector SE - Jaguar - 45min

Well from levels 10-14 the spiders and fleas pop out almost as soon as you shoot the last. Level 17 must be non-stop cause on 14 I thought it was really fast ?. I was having a hard time getting the last couple pieces of centipede zooming around while spiders/fleas constantly appearing.

The first 2 Skylanders games are good for that age group. Pretty cheap for PS3. The starter packs usually come with the game and several characters for the included portal.

Good-bye galaxy!

I'd been waiting for the Songbird Centipede to come up in HSC Lynx for several months now. I figured Shred or jgk would put up good numbers for me to beat. Low and behold it was Carl himself who was my biggest challenge. All week I reigned number one then I notice Friday night Carl posts a score far greater than I had gotten. My old hands aren't like they used to be, holding the Lynx vertical for hours is a challenge in itself. I going to finish this challenge. All Saturday afternoon into the night, I played many a game. Stopping several times to rest my hands. Finally, got it. First again.

I got it! Mine again ???! My old hands need to rest now, no more Lynx today. 48986
