Kurt_Woloch Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Here are my times for this past week (September 19th through 25th)... In fact, I only played one single game, which was not a classic one: Online (non-eligible): Burger Restaurant 3 - 288 min. in 3 sessions Burger Restaurant is the 4th installment of the Burger Restaurant Series... the 3rd one was Burger Restaurant 4. Seems like they noticed they left out Part 3 after doing Part 4... This time you job at burger restaurants in 5 countries all over the world (Wild West, India, China, Japan and Italy) with each country having a "special dish" which is cooked differently to the special dish of the other countries. In addition to the story mode, there are now "challenges" where gameplay differs a bit (for instance, in one challenge you can only make burgers), but I last played a challenge where it only says "Make as many points as possible", but you don't know how many that would be, i.e. when the challenge is won. Anyway, it's a typical time-management game, and it's pretty easy to play if you don't collect all the money so that new customers aren't allowed to fill all the slots and thus aren't able to overload you with orders. I think I remember that in Burger Restaurant 1, your cook moved pretty slowly so that you had to plan an efficient way around the kitchen, which is not necessary here since most of the time the cook runs faster than you can click on the new item. I only did some swimming in the house pool since the Old Danube is now too cold to swim in it and the public pools have closed, and I didn't ride the Peg-Perego Corral T-Rex at all. So.... Total gaming: 288 minutes (41 minutes per day) Total swimming time: about 30 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGameCollector Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Playstation: Alundra - 869 minutes Final Fantasy Origins - 312 minutes Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - 153 minutes Alundra's beaten but not with 100% items. Final Fantasy Origins is coming along well in FF1's remake. I like how much faster it plays than the NES version. Crash Bandicoot 2 is on the 4th floor already; first time ever playing it.

Kurt_Woloch Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Here are my times for this past week (September 26th through October 2nd)... sorry, no classic games again, just some online and PC games... which aren't eligible for the Top 10: Online (non-eligible): A small car - 16 min. Ghetto getaway - 90 min. Barn Yard Jersey Joyride - 13 min. PC (non-eligible): Trackmania Nations - 94 min. Total gaming time: 213 min. (30 min. per day) Even though swimming is over for this year, I tried to catch up with my projects which had been laying around for the last months due to summer activities, so I still didn't do too much gaming. This actually is a phase I get into every year in September and October... summer's gone, and there's plenty to be done, and somehow I've grown accustomed NOT to do too much gaming, as I did during summer, so in these weeks I tend to my projects more intensively. As for the games - "A small car" is a 3D racing game where you have to keep your car on a narrow track and reach your goal on each level (somewhat similar to Marble Madness). "Ghetto getaway" is another 3D racing game in a city where you constantly get chased by police cars which try to ram you into the walls while you try to deliver some load to a defined goal point. "Barn Yard Jersey Joyride" is a game I played earlier... a pretty smooth 3D racing game with beautiful graphics where you have to pick up 5 animal friends before going back to your home barn. You have only one minute of time for this, but you can pick up hourglasses which will extend your time by 15 seconds each. However, you have to jump into the air over a ramp in order to get them. This was actually made to promote a movie. Finally "Trackmania Nations" is a free installment ot the Trackmania series where you can also make your own tracks. Not everything's free, though... for some of the functionality, like downloading tracks that others made, you have to buy a subscription.

The Atari 2600 would be #1 with 670 minutes, followed by the PlayStation at #2 with 555 minutes. Kaboom returns to the top of the charts, closely followed by Berzerk. Otherwise, a fairly thin week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Question about Arcade's Greatest Hits (Williams) for Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Since these versions are not arcade perfect ports and have cheat options like starting yourself with 99 lives and gaining bonuses and extra lives every thousand points do they just count as one game or do you want the listings for each game on these compilations separated and labeled arcade still? They have Defender, Defender II, Joust, Robotron 2084, and Sinistar on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Defender, Defender II, Joust, Robotron 2084, and Sinistar on them. That's a good question, and these games are always a headache. Maybe individual entries in the format "Arcade's Greatest Hits: Defender" are the best option? I'll take a look at what other entries have been like... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 My times for Monday - Thursday: Sega Genesis: General Chaos - 36 min. Shining in the Darkness - 308 min. Sega 32X: Mortal Kombat II - 107 min. Starting to get a good handle on this version of Mortal Kombat II -- I've now beaten up to Medium. I still don't like it as much as the SNES version, and there are a few issues with the controls and certain combos, but it's certainly playable. Meanwhile, my girlfriend destroyed me in General Chaos, a game that neither of us had really played before (and we don't have the manual either). I think I won 2 out of 10 rounds, and got beaten 5-0 in many of them! Finally, I've been meaning to get cracking on my backlog of Genesis RPGs, so I started on Shining in the Darkness. Very attractive game, but I can tell it's going to take a long time. Mapping the first level was fine since it was almost all single-width corridors, but I hate mapping larger spaces in dungeon crawlers. Fortunately there's a spell which gives you a small map window, so I guess it's time to bust out the graph paper... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sorry, no gaming at all this past week. At the moment, life itself is challenging enough so I don't need even more challenge in form of a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
