Inky Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Been logging many an hour on my ST lately, actually.... ZANY GOLF man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Lots of Circus, Kaboom and Picnic - I've been on a paddle kick lately. I've become convinced they are the most perfect controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I haven't narrowed it down too much since returning from Austin, but the Platinum Thrust+ will definitely stay in heavy rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I'm with Inky, I've been stuck on late 80's computers all this week. I've been mainly playing Atari ST, Amiga, and X68000 games (new English language emulator of this obscure Sharp computer is out ). The only two 2600 games I've played this week are Roc 'n Rope, to remember how bad it is and a few games of Thomas' new Suicide Asteroids hack which was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Yo, MouseTrap rules.. I've been twiddling the hours away with Cosmic Ark, Enduro, and can't get enough of Ms PacMan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Let's see, on the 2600: Crystal Castles and Kaboom! On GP32, Adventures of Lolo 2, which is WAY harder than the first one. The LittleJohn emulator rules, BTW. On Mame32 mostly the Pac-man variants these days. One of the newer ones called NewPuc2 alternates between visible and invisible mazes from level 3 on and you get 8000 for the fourth monster instead of 1600. That makes greed a deadlier enemy than the monsters. --Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 For 2600 games, I've been playing Ice Hockey (game 3) in Stella to see how many points I can beat the computer by. Best shut-out: 25 - 0, biggest margin of victory: 30 - 1, highest score: 31 - 5. I've also been playing H.E.R.O., trying to creep up a few more levels. In MacMAME, I play Canyon Bomber a lot. Like Ice Hockey, it makes for a nice, short diversion, like when I'm stuck on 'hold' on the phone. (I don't care for the 2600 version as much.)

NE146 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Soley for space, convenience, and the aesthetic qualities of the living room (to appease the wife) I am mainly using Xbox and GB-Advance at the moment for most gaming. On Xbox: Dragons Lair v. 1.2 and a little Space Ace here and there Shining Force CD (almost done with this one) Contra (Megadrive version) Donkey Kong (arcade) Zookeeper On GB-Advance: Street Fighter 2010 Casino Kid (don't ask. ) Advance Wars 2 GC: The occasional round of Zelda Wind Waker And that's my playlist for the past month or so. Sorry no 2600 games at the moment, but time has proven they ALWAYS somehow come back into the rotation on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptik76 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Since digging my Atari 2600 out of the closet, I've been playing some Mountain King and Keystone Kapers, my two favorite games for the system. Besides that I've been playing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights (PC), Atari Anniversary Advance and Iridion II (GBA), and Gates of Zendocon and Zarlor Mercenary (Lynx).

Scooterb23 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Journey Escape Air Raiders River Raid Mountain King (I don't quite get this game...) And I apparently now have a battery of people looking for Crazy Climber for me, it's my #1 most wanted 2600 game now... (I missed out on one in an auction lot that went for $60, and I have another person willing to get one to me for $100...not able to / not really wanting to pay that much for it) Jeez, tell your mother about one little game...and pretty soon you have armies of people in 6 different states looking for it...
