Ransom Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Video Olympics - 5 minutes (too bad only Pong is 1 player on this) Video Pinball - 10 minutes (an old favorite) Warlords - 10 minutes (still fun, but Castle Crisis is sooo much better) Yars' Revenge - 30 minutes (got 106,000+....not bad for a game I haven't played in a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Doris 30+ minutes. What a great game! Chalk up another 15 minutes of Doris for me! I love it! Doris is a cool 1960's secretary with an Afro collecting Valentine's from her co-workers while avoiding the stares being thrown by their wives! MegaKool concept with addictive gameplay.

Ransom Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm on the silver boxes now, in my A-Z tour of 2600 goodness... Battlezone - 5 minutes. Although it's a decent port, this just isn't a game I've ever enjoyed in any form. Without the gimmik the arcade version sported, there's just not much there for me. Centipede - 20 minutes. Given the limitations of the 2600, I consider this to be a really good port. If only they'd been able to include trackball code in there! Crystal Castles - 15 minutes. Again, a really good port -- albeit limited by the 2600's capabilities. But they squeezed a lot out of the machine for this one! I still prefer the 8-bit version, though.

Stan Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have to say the general love that seems to exist for Battlezone is NOT warranted. Game sucks. I was lucky to get two minutes out of playing it. Within that time forget it, you get swamped. The difficulty curve is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayton Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 30 more minutes of E.T. for me! Got my game back! 116,347 points this time! ALOT better than my last session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ~60 more minutes of Doris 15 Minutes of Stary Frosty. I was in the computer lab 3rd hour and was able to get to spiceware's website and play it via jStella. Another great homebrew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Joust (2600) - 30 minutes. This game was originally released slightly after my Atari 2600 time. So I'd not really played it much on the 2600, other than for a few minutes last year to make sure the cart worked. I'm surprised at how good it is! The floating eggs thing is kinda weird, but the game overall is challenging and pretty true to the spirit of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisaperfectdayelise Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Lots of BurgerTime this week: 50 minutes The rest has been dedicated the new 7800 :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I see this thread is in the Atari 2600 forum, but I've seen posts listing games played on all kinds of systems. Is it OK to do that? If so, tonight I played Jaguar (finally bought the new motherboard from Brad @ Best Electronics): Super Burnout: 15 minutes Tempest 2000: 10 minutes Iron Soldier: 10 minutes Baldies: 15 minutes Rayman: 10 minutes (Just testing it out, really.)

I think so. No one has complained. This seems most appropriate as the vast majority of playing time goes with the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Alright, played Deadly Duck for about 30 minutes. Broke 10K! Quite a task on that game, it seems to me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Here are my times for the past week... Park Patrol (C-64, emulated in VICE)... 391 minutes in 8 sessions (will probably go down now since the last game already lasted for 51 minutes) Doom2600 (Dark Chambers graphics hack) (2600)... 99 minutes Toyshop Trouble (2600)... 37 minutes Galaxian (2600)... 19 minutes Arctic Landtran (2600)... 2 minutes Spider Game (2600)... 1 minute All 2600 games were emulated in Stella. Aside from that, I played a contemporary game, ORF Ski Challenge, for 28 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
