Opry99er Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I thought some of you might enjoy seeing my actual Activision patch collection. I already had these framed but some of the patches were falling out of place. My 9 year old helped me redo the framing so that all of the patches are better centered. He's really into this Summer Quest. I think the only patch we're missing is the Beamrider half moon which is a shame since Beamrider is my favorite game. Wow... That is amazing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 @CVGA, I'm missing on Pitfall (Patches Earned). It refers to my 109,763-point score, submitted on Post #219 in this thread. Sorry about that! I've got it in there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey.shake Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Last couple of weeks, so I think I'm going to see what else I can grab. I've always claimed to be a "Friend Of Dolphins", but now I have a picture to prove it! Now I just have to find the password into their secret society. And keep that jerk Ecco from being such a pain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey.shake Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) You guys can congratulate me later on my promotion to COMMANDER in the FEDERATION OF LASER BLASTERS. I thought, "There's no way this can be as tedious as people say! Activision... 2600... lasers... blasting..." But sure enough, it was more of an endurance test. I kept getting bored and getting shot down once I found my rhythm, but screw it... I was gonna stick with it. Once I passed 100,000, though, my determination waned. Here's a tip of the hat, though, to those who went for the special "1,000,000 points" patch. I just don't have the patience, but I'm glad I finally gave this one a fair shake at the very least. (Only to probably never play it again.) Edited August 25, 2015 by mikey.shake 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will retirebmy days of playing Laser Blast.. It took 5 hours to do this, and if I get carpel tunnel. I blame this game all in all it was good fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks!! Me and Oyamafamily had the endurance to do it, and let me tell you. ..........It took 5 hours to do this... Five hours?!?!??!?! Holy hell. That sounds like a torture session. Congrats on the ability to do that. That's one patch I don't ever foresee me getting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one patch I don't ever foresee me getting. For 1-Million Run on Laser Blast, I chose Game 3 (Captain - Advanced Skill), which is more exciting. I played faster and spent 2 hours and 22 minutes to reach 1 Million Points, using Stella and keyboard. For Game 2 (Lieutenant - Medium Skill), the estimated time to reach 1 Million Points is 3 hours and 15 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey.shake Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 With Ice Hockey now out of the way (and "All-Star" status bestowed), that makes 3 for Team Shake today, so I'm pretty content. So, what's next...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot better but almost 2 1/2 hours is still a long time to be pretty much playing the same board repeatedly. Congrats though for certain.

darthkur Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've been busy today. Sky Jinks - 0:36.04 Robot Tank - 53 tanks Activision Decathlon - 9,708 As suggested the trak-ball makes all the difference. Pressure Cooker - 49,975 Barnstorming - 0:33.30 This game is simply unforgiving. I can not put into words accurately how much I loathe those damn birds. Missed joining the Bucket Brigade by 16 points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't take me too long to get the patch for Barnstorming. Beamrider has been the most brutal for me. Those ships are dirtbags and have cheap attacks. Just keep blasting that trak ball and you can get gold easily. I suck at Kaboom. I don't have good reflexes. I tell you what, you really are kickin butt. Been doing this for not even a week and you have 28 patches!!?? Keep up the awesome gaming!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not put into words accurately how much I loathe those damn birds. I've included this on the patch list. I don't have an issue with it but the manual says "If you beat a time of 33.3 seconds on game 1,...". I'm certain they would have sent you a patch if you had tied rather than actually beaten that time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Oyamafamily with 30 patches, darthkur with 28 and you (Retrogamer81081) with 27. BTW - I was off by 1 patch on a couple of names further down your list.

darthkur Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Finally got the pattern down. Also read the instructions which pointed out that a run at full power is possible if you find the right area's. Plus I felt guilty about "squeaking" in. Barnstorming - 0:33.15 Got the gold. Activision Decathlon - 10,279 Kaboom! - 4,298 Dolphin - 51,140 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Darthkur, your Dolphin score is NOT enough to earn "Friends of Dolphins" patch. You MUST score at least 80,000 points. To get a special patch (Secret Society of Dolphins), you must reach 300,000 points. It took me 20 minutes to reach this ultimate score on Dolphin - I jumped over the seahorses on later waves.
