[Opry99er]

Cool! Good to see the TI back on top! It's been extremely VCS heavy the last month or two!

[Opry99er]

Interesting week for me. Here are my weekday times (Monday-Friday)

[Kurt_Woloch]

Here are my times for this week (June 11th through 17th) on classic systems:

 

Arcade:

Donkey Kong Jr. - 23 min.

 

Atari 7800:

Baby Pac-Man (WIP) - 131 min. in 4 sessions

B*nQ - 30 min.

 

This week I followed the development of Baby Pac-Man for the Atari 7800, trying multiple versions both with arcade and "classic" ghost AI. It's coming along nicely, but the pinball portion is still missing. While at it, I also replayed B*nQ, a Q*bert clone for the Atari 7800 which is reasonably accurate to the original version (except for the sounds which remind me a bit of the NES version of Q*bert). I also replayed the original arcade version of Donkey Kong Jr. for a few rounds, but never made it past the 5th screen.

[zylon]

5200-

Pole Position- 40min

 

Genesis-

Altered Beast- 20min

[Iwantgames:)]

 

VG 5000 -

I got another 10min on Machaon so 75 total

 

The VG 5000 for those who may not know is a French computer (I use a Scart to HDMI converter to use it here in the US) it received several Odyssey 2 ports Glouton (KC Munchkin), Tortues (Turtles), and several others as well as some clones like Machaon (Boulderdash) overall its a really neat system but it does take up some space when in full form (System, 5200 controller module, controller, tape deck and huge *** power supply lol, plus 2 US to Euro power converters)

[agb]

Times for the week. All Atari 2600:

Lost Luggage 12 mins HSC. Good game.

Pele Soccer 20 mins. Couldnt score. HSC game. Didnt like it.

Not much for me. I played Alien3 basically on Jin's recommendation from another thread. It was much better than I initially thought it would be. I meant to go back to it over the weekend, but I had a bunch of family stuff and then got distracted watching the World Cup. #VamosMexico

[Opry99er]

Weekend times (Saturday and Sunday)

 

 

VCS:

 

Defender (25 minutes)

Fantastic Voyage (20 minutes)

Pokémon Snap (60 minutes)

 

 

TI/99/4A:

Yahtzee (60 minutes)

 

 

 

Lots and lots of N64.... as I picked one up this weekend for the first time in probably 5 years. Didn't find my two favorite games though.... Mario Kart 64 and All Star Baseball 99. As soon as ASB99 is in my hands, you can pretty much forget any other times coming from me, as I plan on playing a 162 game season.

 

I like to make my own pitchers, put them on the Rockies... then turn off the salary cap and trade Paul ONeill, Chuck Knoblauch, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, and Derek Jeter to the Rockies for all the scrubs. I keep Dante Bickette, Vinny Castilla, Todd Helton, and Larry Walker. I like to build two pitchers, then also have Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez on my team. In ASB99, you can get away with pitching a 4 man rotation through the season...... so yeah.... I'm pretty obsessive on that game.

 

This is the line up I have used for two decades now....

It was a rather interesting and eventful past two weeks of gaming around here. Last week was largely dominated by emulation, testing out some Sega Master System games on the Wii (since we had a Master System Converter II for our Genesis on the way from Great Britain) to see what games might be worth picking up physical copies of when the converter arrived. I also spent some time introducing the misses to some of my favorite childhood Sega Genesis games via emulation while we were at it, and we tried out the Master System versions to see how they compared.

 

The other gaming activity that took up a big chunk of my time last week, after finally finishing Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii, was going back and playing a bunch of Game Boy games for the first time since I got really depressed and stupidly sold most of my rather enormous Game Boy / Color collection last summer. It was a lot of fun playing games on my Game Boy Color again after so long and I'm now feeling firmly committed to rebuilding my old Game Boy / Color collection. I figure if I can pick up 3 games that I usde to own every month it should only take me 2 years to rebuild, and I got off to a pretty good start with that this past week. Sometimes in life we make mistakes and bad decisions that can't be fixed, but fortunately this is one that with enough time and patience can be fixed.

 

So, for me this week was largely focused on playing some Game Boy games that I picked up to start rebuilding my old collection. I played a little Revenge of the Gator pinball, but most of the week was spent playing through my #1 all time favorite game on any system: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the original Game Boy. At this point I'm probably 3/4 of the way through the game and have just been taking my time, exploring, and having fun revisiting my favorite video game locale. There's just no place in gaming quite like Koholint Island, and I'm definitely enjoying my return to it after so many years away.

 

Rather than revisiting an old favorite, this week the misses spent all week trying out a new addition to her library of survival horror games for the original PlayStation. She's been having an awesome time with it and is already planning on picking up Parasite Eve II once she finishes the first one, since affordable horror games on the PlayStation that she doesn't own yet are getting fewer and fewer in number. In addition to our respective games of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Parasite Eve, we also spent some time playing a few new 32X games together and trying out the Master System Converter II for our Genesis that arrived in the mail early in the week. At this point the only Master System game we own is Out Run (because it was the only decent condition Master System game I could find locally) but it was still a ton of fun to play.

 

Well, I think that about covers everything around here from the past two weeks! Until next time, and as always, best wishes and happy gaming to you and yours.

I'll sell you back the GBC games that I bought from you if you like - same price in reverse.

[Skippy B. Coyote]

I'll sell you back the GBC games that I bought from you if you like - same price in reverse.

I will absolutely take you up on your very kind and generous offer! I get paid next on July 1st and will gladly purchase them back from you then. I wasn't going to ask anyone to sell me back any of my old games, because it just wouldn't have felt right begging someone else to fix my mistakes, but if you're offering then that's an offer I can't refuse!

[+thegoldenband]

Here's the summary for Week 24, running from June 11 - 17. We logged 3926 minutes of eligible play, playing 59 games on a total of 15 systems.

Yet again the Atari 2600 is on top of the system charts -- and Shark Attack is the top pre-NES game -- but it's Parasite Eve on the PlayStation that takes the laurels.

Right behind it is #2 game Link's Awakening, whose 1135 minutes logged to date make it game #330 in the 1000-minute club.

[Opry99er]

Don't think I've ever seen the VG5000 on the tracker before...

[carlsson]

Apparently it was its fourth appearance, and the first time someone else than Kurt played its games. The previous occasions were in November 2008 (46 mins), April 2012 (88 mins) and September 2016 (90 mins). It also means that Iwantgames in one week played almost as much as the previous total on nearly 10 years.
