BurritoBeans Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Woohoo, this is back again! I'd say I did alright in the past years, but there were some patches that I kinda refused to go for... Onto the patches for me, all of these ones were using emulation as these are some of the games which I can never find locally on cart. USB CX-40s were used for control until I broke them on Decathlon and swapped to one of my wired PS3 controllers. 1 - Ice Hockey This one is always really easy to get - even though the computer was scoring on me, I wasn't that nervous about the whole thing and just quit trying in the last thirty seconds and let them catch up a bit as I was ahead by enough to be confident with where I was at. 2 - River Raid Not the easiest patch in the world but not really that hard, as long as you don't make stupid moves and ram into the sides like I did a few times you'll be fine anyways. 3, 4, and 5 - Decathlon Ow, my hand really hurts - this game is torture but I knew I could get the patch so I stuck with it. I broke two of my USB CX-40s in the process of doing this and ended up using a Rock Candy wired PS3 controller in the end as it's easier to mash side to side with a d-pad - the sticks were really cheap though so I don't care too much. This isn't the best score I've done overall, but within the past five months this is probably my best score I've got. In the end, I'm super happy I got this on my fourth attempt as if I hadn't then I'd only have given it one more attempt before just accepting the silver patch - I really don't want to do this game again. 6 - Freeway Alright, so this one isn't that hard - easier than River Raid, anyways. It's all about knowing when to move, and even that doesn't take much work - it took all of two attempts for me anyways and I haven't played this since last year. I will say playing this after Decathlon wasn't that great but whatever, it's just up and down - it's nothing complex. So for one day of games, I'm really happy with where I'm at. I think I'll be swapping to using the MAMECade for the rest of the emulated cartridges soon here as it may be a bit easier with a stick and spinner on some of these over a wired PS3 controller, but for now I'll stick with my PC and maybe bring out the Atari soon here for some Pitfall. The ultimate goal is to get as many of these as possible, but if I can get the Laser Blast Million without having to use the pause feature on an emulator then I may just quit there. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/266921-2017-activision-summer-patch-quest/#findComment-3789667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I hate Stampede. Congrats to those that can get 3000. To me it seems like the difficulty is instantly there. Don't really like Dragster either. Every time I get close to breaking 6 seconds the engine blows right at the finish line.
