Kurt_Woloch Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) OK, here are my times for this week: Park Patrol (C-64) 468 minutes (in 6 sessions) Subterranea (2600) 37 minutes Ooze 0.85 (2600) 4 minutes Pig Perambulator (2600) 3 minutes NOBeta1b (MausGames Attempt at Ooze) (2600) 2 minutes Jack and the beanstalk (2600) 1 minute Ballblazer demo (2600) 1 minute Maybe I should explain why I'm still playing Park Patrol that much... I'm desperately trying to roll it, but didn't succeed yet. I got close, though, at a max of 900000 points. Unfortunately, reaching 999990 points takes nearly 2 hours, hence the long playing times. However, the difficulty level tops off at Level 6, it doesn't get any harder after that. But there's still a chance to screw up a game even if you've got plenty of extra lives because you've also got to watch the supply, which from level 3 on gets stolen by the ants. You start off each level with 9000 units of supply, but 1000 of those get stolen about every 20 seconds. The supply also gets decreased by 1000 if you lose a life or go into the house to fill up your own supply. If the supply reaches 0, it will be game over on the next life you lose, even if you've still got spare lives left. This is usually how games end for me... As always, the C-64 was emulated in VICE, and the 2600 was emulated in Stella. Edited February 22, 2009 by Kurt_Woloch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkz1 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 So far today I played Yars Revenge for about 20 minutes and Adventure for about 30 minutes. The first game I played in Adventure took forever, the bat hid the sword so I was constantly being eaten by the dragons! I hate that bat!
