Fangorn81 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I played all yesterday morning with my brother. We mostly played Jungle Hunt, H.E.R.O. and Seaquest. It was just like we were kids again, trying to beat each others scores. Haven't played Atari for that long in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) OK, here's my times for this past week... Park Patrol (C-64, emulated in VICE): 271 minutes in 3 sessions Rescue Terra I (2600, emulated in Stella): 181 minutes in 3 sessions A note to Park Patrol: Finally my efforts of "rolling" the game have fruited. Actually, the game doesn't roll, instead of that it stops scoring at an arbitrary score between 990.000 and 999.990. In my case it stopped scoring at 994520. Since the game stops scoring, it also stops giving additional extra lives at that point, which are normally given every 20,000 points. Thus the only thing that still goes up is the level counter. I made it to Level 39 before I lost all my lives, as shown in this screenshot: I played this game in PAL emulation all the time. After that, I tried it on NTSC, and surprisingly the game is slower on NTSC, including the music, which is also played in a lower key. On the other hand, this game shows a lot of slowdowns in PAL mode when many enemies are on screen (due to most of them, and also most landscape objects, actually being software sprites). These slowdowns are not as remarkable when played on an NTSC machine. Now that I've reached this goal, I think I'll finally stop playing this game for now.

I'm pretty sure that I have it but I don't have my C-64 hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that I have it but I don't have my C-64 hooked up. It's a two player game and each player has to jump up and catch these stars to make a peanut butter sandwich before "the snarfs" take them away.
