Kurt_Woloch Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 OK, here are my times for this week: Mouse Trap (Colecovision) 305 minutes Gyruss (Atari 8-bit) 99 minutes Krull (Arcade) 54 minutes Jr. Pac-Man (7800) 46 minutes Mouse Trap (Arcade) 34 minutes Air Raiders (2600) 18 minutes Mouse Trap (2600) 6 minutes Q*Bert (2600) 5 minutes (in 2 sessions) Melbourne Tatty (2600) 2 minutes CTetris4a (Atari 8-bit) 2 minutes Circus Galacticus (2600) 2 minutes BiFröst (2600) 2 minutes RAMVaders (2600) 2 minutes RAM Racer (2600) 1 minute Gingerbread man (2600) 1 minute RAM Combat (2600) 1 minute Some notes to this: The games I played longer than 40 minutes all were HSC games again. Mouse Trap (Colecovision) was a single session. After starting that game, I noticed that it doesn't get harder after Round 5, so I figured I should be able to roll it. I finally made that, but only after 5 hours of playing. After that, I played the Arcade and 2600 versions of it as well for a comparison, mainly because I couldn't imagine it could also be that easy to roll in the arcade... and it isn't. In the original Arcade version of Mouse Trap, the player is slower than on the Colecovision, and also there's 6 cats instead of 5 on the CV. So it's actually much harder. Gyruss was a second session in which I tried to improve on my previous score. I made that, but sadly didn't properly take a screenshot, so I finally didn't register the actual score of over 130000 points (I don't quite remember how much exactly it was), but only close to 120000 which I reached in a subsequent game. Then there are several games I only played for 1 or 2 minutes to see what they're like, but they were not attractive to me to play them any longer. These are all new homebrews which where posted on the forums here in the last weeks. Oh, and Q*bert was only played to test out the Stella Emulator, because Stella has a bug with this game where, if you press RESET and there are still players on screen, some parts of those players keep hanging in mid-air. This is caused by the Reset button causing the screen not to sync for a split-second. I had some PM's with a developer of Stella to fix this error.
