VectorGamer Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Atari 5200Pac-Man 10 mins Ms. Pac-Man 10 mins Centipede 20 mins The only reason I played the 5200 was to test it on the new 19" TV I bought for $12 off of Craigs List. I bought the TV to have as a 4th TV for my retrogaming parties and will pretty much sit in storage the rest of the time. The thing was housed in a smoking environment - Pall Malls I may add. I Goo-Goned it and then alcohol'd it three times and I still have brown crap showing up on the rags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going over, and over, and over the paneling on the walls. You are going to take the TV apart and clean inside it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brojamfootball Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Just bought an NES: Gun.Smoke 30 min --really enjoyed this one, but spent a lot of time cleaning two controllers to make them work better. Scored a heavy sixer 2600 and hooked it up. Finally playing many games I've gotten in the past several months that are incompatible with the Flashback 2 modded w/cart slot. The rest is all 2600 play: Pitfall II 20 min--never played this before. Went to a bit of trouble to get it, but now after a large score I have 3 copies. Decathlon 15 min--don't know if I'll bother wiggling my wrist off on that game again. Jr. Pac-Man 20 min--man, this game is kicking my butt! Robot Tank 10 min--this game sure ain't Battlezone. Galaxian 10 min--nice arcade conversion here, but just didn't hold my attention. Crystal Castles 15 min--surprisingly fun, crappy graphics and all. Dig Dug 15 min--still fun, but since I have a pretty good Jakks plug and play tv version it pales. Solaris 20 min--not totally understanding this one, although it seems to be a great game. Gotta look it up for more info. Jungle Hunt 20 min--ahhh, good old Jungle Hunt! Ducking the big rocks is much harder than I remembered. Stargate 10 min--gotta log more time on this excellent game. I just checked to make sure it worked and quickly was dead. California Games 10 min--gotta look this one up also to find out how to play something besides Hacky Sack. Berserk 15 min--man, I still love this game! Simple and repetitive but fun. Can't get my Frogger II cart to work!! ARRRGH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Got some more time to play tonight... Kaboom! (2600): 25 minutes (It was one of those nights, where I just couldn't do anything right. I was losing at under 2000 points, and even under 1000 a couple of times. My high score was a bit over 3,600 tonight. Ugh.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Kaboom! (2600): 30 minutes I got to above 3700 this time, but I can't beat my current (this century) high score of above 3800, let alone my goal of breaking 4K. Dang, it sucks to be old.

Sgt.Pepper1983 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 The game I've been playing a lot of recently is Pacman for the 2600. I've been trying to improve my score for the last few months. I got a score higher than 10,000 for the first time since I was a teenager and last night during an all nighter I bumped my score up from an all time high of 14,004 to 32,297. But I had five more lives, it was three or four in the morning and I was just too tired to keep going so I threw down the controller and went to bed.
