carlsson Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) PET: Bomber - 3 min. Bonzo! [Randall Lockwood, Cursor #16] - 4 min. Canyon [Larry Stevens, Cursor #12] - 4 min. Car Race II [satori Iwata] - 9 min. (2877 pts) Lawn! [bob Carr, Cursor #26] - 7 min. Miner! [Ron Longfellow, Cursor #19] - 5 min. After nearly two months of play testing, I've come up with 166K of PET games to transfer to a floppy. Now it doesn't say all those games will work on my 3032 with BASIC 4.0, since I emulated against a 3032 with BASIC 2.0 but hopefully most will. The list of titles for those interested (of which not all games have been featured on this tracker, nor have all the games I spent some minutes on ended up in the sweet 166K) goes like this: Alligator Moeras (N. Webster on Sharp MZ-80, PET version by Jos Leppens) Ballon-Redden (D.W. Engelfriet, DWE Produktie) Bomber (Arne Gleason) Breakout Car Race II (Satori Iwata) Cosmic Cosmiads (Derek J Hipkin) Cosmic Fighter (MS Software) Cosmic Jailbreak (Derek J Hipkin) Debris (Bodyguard Software) Frogger (German) Heart Racer Lawn! (Bob Carr) Mad Bomber Meteorites (D.E. Anthony) Millipede (On Line Software) Miner! (Ron Longfellow) Mission 2001 (Anthony & Steven Scian, David A. Hook) Nab! (Malcolm Michael) Night Drive (J.

Iwantgames:) Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Got an Amiga 500 this week which looked like the post man tossed around (keys all loose in the box) and wouldnt work until i put some work in it but finally got it going and played a couple games.

+thegoldenband Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Intellivision: Super Cobra - 17 min. Tower of Doom - 487 min. N64: South Park - 476 min. Other than a few games of Super Cobra, my week in gaming was spent trying to beat more scenarios with the Waif in Tower of Doom (no dice), and playing through the first two levels (and most of the third) in the predictably goofy FPS starring Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman. Actually as a shooter South Park is perfectly playable (if dull), but they foolishly mixed in some 3D platforming. The resulting blend is like tomato and chocolate: two things that I enjoy on their own in moderation, but certainly don't go together, and give me heartburn to boot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This week I'm posting from my tablet once again while I wait for my new laptop from eBay to arrive in the mail, so forgive the lack of underlining on the system categories. Anyway, I actually didn't play nearly as much this week due to some real life obligations; but my wife decided to pick up the slack and join the fun by logging her play times in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on the PS1, Frogger on the Atari 2600, and a few Genesis games too. So, here's our household's combined video game play time for the week! Arcade Centipede (Arcade's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 for PS1) - 29 minutes Galaga (Original upright cabinet) - 13 minutes Galaga (Namco Museum for GBA) - 116 minutes Galaxian (Namco Museum Vol. 3 for PS1) - 7 minutes Ms. Pac-Man (Original upright cabinet) - 8 minutes Ms. Pac-Man (Namco Museum Vol. 3 for PS1) - 16 minutes Atari 2600 Centipede - 36 minutes Frogger - 67 minutes Galaxian - 10 minutes PlayStation Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - 399 minutes Sega Genesis Castlevania: Bloodlines - 16 minutes Columns - 69 minutes Ms. Pac-Man - 26 minutes Raiden Trad - 112 minutes The Revenge of Shinobi - 22 minutes Truxton - 124 minutes Total Play Time This Week: 1,070 minutes (17 hours 50 minutes) Individual System Play Times This Week PlayStation: 399 minutes Sega Genesis: 369 minutes Arcade: 189 minutes Atari 2600: 113 minutes For me the big highlight of this week was finally beating Raiden Trad! I've been playing this game off and on for months now and could never quite handle the final stage, but after almost two hours of playing I finally conquered it this week. Sure, it was on Easy mode, but I'll take my victories where I can get them. I was also pretty excited to have found very nice condition and reasonably priced copies of Castlevania: Bloodlines, Truxton, Columns, Ms. Pac-Man, and The Revenge of Shinobi for the Genesis at some local game stores over the last few days; so I spent a little time trying 'em out and will probably dig more into them next week. The misses instantly fell in love with Columns from the moment she tried it, so that game saw a bit more play time than the rest. All in all it was a pretty good week for gaming around here! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Here are my (non-)times for the past week (July 13th through 19th)... Sorry, I haven't played any games. I had a date for eye surgery at the hospital on July 17th, for which I got written sick by my house doctor three days in advance, including a PC ban in order to relax my eyes. However, on the morning of July 17th I got a call from the hospital saying that there was a miscommunication when scheduling the date, and it got postponed to July 23rd, then in another call they postponed it again to July 28th. Now I got written off at the doctors' immediately and went to work again. However, my father initially said that my doctor did the right thing and I should visit him again tomorrow to ask how long I should avoid doing anything on the PC in advance to the surgery. But I'm pretty sure that if I did that, he'd write me sick again instantly and say I shouldn't do anything on the PC for the whole remaining week, and probably another week after the surgery (where the paper says I should avoid physical excertion, which according to my house doctor probably would include anything I do on the PC, and according to a colleague could include carring more than 1 kg of weight). I'm now actually avoiding that by not visiting the house Dr. again, and my father, after I explained the situation that I actually have the PC tied in most things I do, agreed I shouldn't do it. I now have three weeks off work starting today (not sick, but regular vacation), but I still feel I should pay some tributes since I actually should endure a PC ban for at least two more weeks. So if I really do anything on the PC, it should be important things, and gaming is not on the list of important things. To that end, I will also go swimming with my father although I really don't like to do that (it's over 30°C out here, so really good weather for swimming actually). So, in order to pay some tributes, I plan not to play any games through at least August 4th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Here's the summary for Week 29, running from July 13 - 19. We logged 6610 minutes of eligible playtime, playing 78 games on a total of 22 systems. Top 10: 1. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 719 2. D2 (Dreamcast) - 637 3. Historyline 1914-1918 (PC (DOS)) - 515 4. Tower of Doom (Intellivision) - 487 5. South Park (N64) - 476 6. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PlayStation) - 399 7. Enemy Zero (Sega Saturn) - 372 8. Ys I & II (JPN) (TG-CD/PC Engine CD) - 247 9. Lock 'n' Chase (Intellivision) - 195 10. Laplace no Ma (TG-CD/PC Engine CD) - 164 Pre-NES top 10: 1. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 719 2. Tower of Doom (Intellivision) - 487 3. Lock 'n' Chase (Intellivision) - 195 4. Beamrider (Atari 2600) - 155 5. Super Chef BT (Intellivision) - 140 6. Galaga (Arcade) - 129 7. Frogger (Atari 2600) - 67 8. Thrust (BBC Micro) - 54 9. 3D Monster Maze (Sinclair ZX 81) - 53 10. Megamania (Atari 2600) - 50 Top 10 systems: 1. Atari 2600 (1206) 2. Intellivision (869) 3. Dreamcast (637) 4. PC (DOS) (515) 5. Genesis (499) 6. Sega Saturn (484) 7. N64 (476) 8. TG-CD/PC Engine CD (411) 9. PlayStation (399) 10. 3DO (394) Well, time to update that list I posted last week, because Week 29 of 2015 is our third-biggest week of all time! Big numbers across the board, with 22 different systems represented, and even the least-played of those platforms logged 26 minutes. Wow. In the midst of all this activity, perennial performer Kaboom takes the #1 spot across the board and leads the VCS to the top spot on the system charts, wherein the Intellivision is #2. (So it's 1980 all over again, basically.) Lastly, member #158 in a certain club manages to get the target number on the nose, as The Legend of Zelda has now logged exactly 1000 minutes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 PET: (non-emulated!) Car Race II - 2 min. Seige - 13 min. Another week with nearly no gaming to report. At least I finally got to prepare a floppy disk and run on my actual PET computer. Unfortunately it quickly turned out that the majority of games, as I had feared, were not compatible with BASIC 4.0. Fortunately I got enough spare 2532 EPROMs, capable programmer and eraser so I could downgrade to BASIC 2.0 and have those games running. Now I don't dare running it for too long in case it would break down in one way or another, but at least I got it working for now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving the amount of quality spaceship shooters on there, and you can never go wrong with Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. That also reminds me that I really need to get a copy of 1942 for the GBC! If you're looking for another vertical scrolling GBC shmup to try out I highly recommend Project S-11. It'll really blow your mind how smooth the game plays and how good it looks for a GBC game, and the music is just ten different kinds of awesome. Anyway, great list once again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might download that one. I use a chinese psp knockoff that plays any NES, SNES, GEN/MD, GBA, GB, GBC games i can load into it with AV out on my TV. One of my favorites was the old B&W Solar Striker. The jag games were played in setting up an emulator. I got one running good, but a touch slow. Edited July 26, 2015 by zylon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
