sandmountainslim Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 40 minutes of Front Line for the Atari 2600 I have recently been playing the Famicom version of Front Line and was unaware it existed for the Atari so I gave it a try today.....AMAZING! Coleco hit this nail on the head, too bad it came out during the crash. Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Final report for the week. Kaboom for 25 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 ...and about 3 hours play testing my homebrew Sword of Iffrit Whoa, we can count hours testing our homebrews??? Circus Galacticus - 40 hrs Honestly though, we probably shouldn't count our own games. Agreed, although I'll still count the time other people spend playing homebrews before they are officially released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 You mean to tell me I'm the only one who's played GOPHER this year? GOPHER - 5 minutes tonight. 1100 points. I'll see you in 2010. You're the only one in 2009 although someone logged 4 minutes in 2008. I actually liked this game as a kid (probably because I talked my mom into buying it at the supermarket for $5 when we were grocery shopping). I'll dig it out sometime and 2009 and play some more.

+cvga Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Adventure - 26 minutes E.T. - 25 minutes It's amazing, in 25 minutes I played one of the best games. The Phone Home Zone was basically in the same spot for a while. I score about 125,000 points (no deaths, of course) AND I never had a problem with FBI Agent/Scientist popping up at the last second on the count down. Truly an awesome game! I'm VERY surprised that this was the first time E.T. had been mentioned in 14 weeks. No one would admit to playing it prior to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! I actually played Gopher for 10 mins the other night (see above). My buddy picked it cuz he never played it. I think he regrets the request.

Peace I noticed that a few minutes after I made my post I'll still dig it out sometime but I have a hunch that it's one of those games that might be better left as memories.

Sayton Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) 33 more minutes of E.T. for me! I was totally off game tonight. 111,696 in 30 minutes is meh. I even had to reset after the first few minutes...the randomness made it very difficult finding certain zones! Oh well, at least I didn't die...as usual I can't believe E.T. hasn't been mentioned yet either! A very fun game once you learn to play it!

Ransom Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Last night, I played Circus Atari for half an hour to limber up, then put in Kaboom! and played that for about a half hour without breaking the 3,000 mark (haven't been able to do that since the 80s...just not enough time!), then consoled myself with Pong from Video Olympics and whupped the computer's ass. Oh, and I put in the 2600 version of Star Raiders for the first time since the 80s last night. Whoo-ee, I'd forgotten what a stinky version of the game that is! I only played that for about 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
