VectorGamer Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 cvga has already stated that any system that came out before 2000 can be accepted. That's not what he said. In post 355 he only agreed that any console released from year 2000 and later be automatically excluded. We are still in debate for the time period of 1987 to 1999. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm good with cvga's current idea, that the last two generations be excluded, especially given that he's going to be making the stats separable by era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayWI Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 After the marathon session of Phantasy Star 4 last week I took a break from games for a bit. Then a co-worker gave me a 10 day pass to Star Trek Online so I figured I'd try that out a bit to change things up. Tonight I got the itch the play my old systems again. NES Batman - 32 minutes City Connection - 10 minutes Wrath of the Black Manta - 10 minutes Ring King - 15 minutes SNES Super Off-Road: The Baja - 35 minutes Ken Griffey Jr. Winning Run - 15 minutes Donkey Kong Country - 13 minutes Super Mario World - 15 minutes I was really off tonight. I struggled with every game I tried. Missing jumps that I normally make in DKC and Mario, not being able to pass the second boss in Batman, not winning a match in Ring King. It was still fun though. I had Lost in Space season 2 playing on the other TV so at least I had that. Biggest disappointment: I remember Super Off-Road in the arcade. Usually those big machines with 4 steering wheels. I love that game and could play it for hours. The Baja was not it, I didn't know that when I picked it up at a thrift store for $3. Rather than the top down view where you see the whole track it's a view from right behind your truck and damn near first person. I dislike driving games like that. I tried to play it as best I could but that view just gives me a headache. Weirdest game: City Connection. I understand what you're doing, but...a NES game? Really? I'd expect something like this on Intellivision. So now that I've picked up the classic games again I'll probably be playing a bit most nights. I think I'll keep Phantasy Star 4 for the weekends when I can spend some time on it. I really want to finish that game but after the amount of time I spent on it last week I'm still a bit burned out. On a collection note, I have Legendary Axe for the TurboGrafx 16 on the way. I got it off of Ebay but for less than I was willing to pay so I'm happy. I know very little about the TG16 but I have read that Bonks and Legendary Axe 1 and 2 are considered the games that are must haves. I've also heard good things about Galaga 90. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have yet to play any games this week. I've been setting things up for Retrocade IV this Saturday night. The kids and I were playing consoles last night but that was only to adjust sound levels so that the TV you are stationed at is in the foreground and the neighboring TV not quite as up front to give you that "arcade feel." We're celebrating 30 years of Pac-Man Saturday night and it is the Arcade/MAME HSC game of the week so I'll have some times to report for that one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
