Kurt_Woloch Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Sorry, I'm a little late this time... here's my gaming time from the past week: Toyshop Trouble: 561 minutes (in 9 sessions) - still couldn't get away from this game even though its week at HSC has ended... but I've made it past Dec. 25th by now, so gaming time for this will probably drop off this week. Jack and the beanstalk: 76 minutes (in 3 sessions, each time trying a new version of it) Radar Lock: 8 minutes (only played it once and found it a bit confusing... especially it's hard to find a single enemy you still have to kill) Reflex: 5 minutes (interesting homebrew, but a bit confusing) Total classic gaming time: 650 minutes (93 minutes per day). All games are 2600 binaries played on Stella. Edited December 29, 2008 by Kurt_Woloch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Tonight's report (so far) for my son and me. Kaboom! 20 minutes Mean 18 Ultimate Golf - 30 minutes - we were terrible for the first two holes but improved to very bad from that point on. This game reminds me a lot of Leaderboard Golf for the Commodore 64 that I played in the 80s. I did have an eagle on the back nine. Pressure Cooker - 10 minutes. It took us awhile to get the hang of it. Once we did, it wasn't as much fun as I remembered/expected. I built this up as a precursor to Diner Dash but we didn't really see it that way. I'll probably give it another chance in the future but I was disappointed. Megamania - 15 minutes - A classic shooter from the past. I scored about 80,000 which I was pleased with.

lgallair Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well, I spent the last hour or so playing Omega Race. Never played it on the 2600 but was surprised at how close it resembled the arcade version. Just loved it! Mmmm what else can I find?
