[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 In the last 7 days, Pitfall 10 hours (not the same 10 from other week) Othello 4 hours Donkey Kong arcade (bonus game on DK64) 30 mins I know the last one is on the N64 but it seems to me to be identical to the arcade so I consider it an emulator. How the hell do you access that? I don't particularly like DK64, but if there's the arcade version in there somewhere...... (back to topic) I've been playing a bit here recently: Missile Command(2600) ~1 hour Food Fight(7800) ~ 45 minutes Beef Drop(7800) ~ 2 hours Keystone Kapers ~20 minutes Kaboom ~1 hour In the Frantic Factory locate the DK machine, it looks just like the real thing. Use DK to pull the lever and the game begins. Finish all 4 stages once through to receive a banana medal??? then a second time through to get a nintendo logo???? I'm a little rusty on this but I think once you beat it twice it's unlocked from the main menu. It's been a couple years since I unlocked it. Check out www.gamefaqs.com it's got to be there. Thanks!! I never knew it was in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmountainslim Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Add up four more hours for Man Goes Down. That game is ADDICTIVE. The first Atari game I have ever saw that caught my girlfriend's attention for more than ten minutes, she has been playing it for the past two days also.

+cvga Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 We hooked our 7800 up in the basement this weekend. My 8 and 13 year old who claim not to like the Atari much had a great time. Here are the games we played... Berzerk 30 minutes Ninja Golf (7800) 5 minutes Kaboom 45 minutes Warlords 35 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoheiFox Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) The wife and I played 2 hours of Millipede, 30 minutes of Frogger, and a 3 hour tour through Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Junior Pac. I played Ghostbusters and Commando alone for at least an hour each. 15 minutes of Raiders of the lost Ark. Mountain King for maybe 20 minutes. Asteroids until I flipped the score a few times. This was all in the last week. ...can you tell? When the question "Have you played Atari today?" comes up, my wife and I can generally answer yes?

shadow460 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I played Ghost Manor until my eyes bugged out. I figured I ought to play it senseless since I was expanding the Wikipedia stub associated with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I played Ghost Manor until my eyes bugged out. I figured I ought to play it senseless since I was expanding the Wikipedia stub associated with it. So, how much time does it take for your eyes to bug out? I realize that people aren't sitting there with a stopwatch (other than RT) but your estimate is surely better than my estimate of how much time you played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison DeMeyer Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I played Ghost Manor until my eyes bugged out. I figured I ought to play it senseless since I was expanding the Wikipedia stub associated with it. Hey I played Ghost Manor too, it is one of my favorite games for the VCS. I played it on all 4 difficults, it's getting kinda hard in 'dark' mode, but I managed it. I love how you can chose being a girl or a boy, very forward thinking back in the days. I didn't keep score though :-( maybe I try again soon. I love Spike's Peak too, very good game, and the eagle animation is still tops nowadays.

Kurt_Woloch Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 OK, since you do list coin-ops... I noticed that my "Dino eggs" on an emulated Apple II in the first week wasn't listed, although it was over 2 hours, and 2 hours was the cut-off for that week. And later on, you did list C-64 games. I think the Apple II is about as old as the C-64, if not older, so that game should be listed too. And according to Wikipedia, that game was already released in 1983, so it also qualifies for "7800 or earlier"... and the 7800 actually was released much later.
