That's a huge jump probably because I often play older games rather than newer ones, but in this case new versions of old games really caught my interest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually Sonic Origins is almost 2.5 hours ahead of Borderlands 2. Quite a bunch of new entries added this week, with the total number of games now up to 1878. Pac-Man Museum+ (Switch) moves into the 50 Hour club with exactly 3000 minutes played. After a long absence, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is back and just breaks 48000 minutes, so only 60000 minutes behind PUBG... Btw, those mentioning they played less than they use to this week.

Steven Pendleton Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Mostly K Tiger this time. I am almost able to beat the game now. @jgkspsx you ever make any progress on it? I'm at stage 8 now. Biggest problems so far are the second half of stage 5 and the stage 7 boss, but I found that going for time out on the stage 7 boss is actually very safe and easy to do, so I may intentionally go for time out instead of wasting my extends trying to actually fight it.

neogeo1982 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 PS5 Stray - 130min. Very short for a game but worth every minute of it. Horizon Forbidden West - 92 hours. Much bigger open world with so much to do. I also played Resident Evil 2 and 7 an hour each but they are PS4 with PS5 upgrade after I updated them? So not sure to call them PS4/5. There many games in Playstation Store that are PS4 but update to a PS5 logo after everything is downloaded. The games are the same but in 4k and faster loads/frame rates. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 More reduced time because I was distracted with other things last week. I spent some time diving into Capcom's second Arcade Stadium offering and dorking around there. I also realized that Dicey Dungeons at some point had received a DLC update so I messed around with that a little before reading some last night. Forza Horizon 5 had a new Hot Wheels-themed expansion release last week so I raced around orange Hot Wheel tracks a bit in that. Nintendo Switch: Animal Crossing: New Horizons -- 360 minutes Capcom Arcade Stadium -- 30 minutes Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium -- 420 minutes Dicey Dungeons -- 90 minutes Sonic Origins -- 45 minutes Super Mario 3D World -- 30 minutes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge -- 30 minutes XBox Series X: Borderlands 3 -- 120 minutes Forza Horizon 5 -- 240 minutes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games are the same but in 4k and faster loads/frame rates. I logged those as PS5 with the comment they're really PS4 games with updates. I suppose with increased resolution, faster loading and better frame rates it is enough changes to warrant its own entry, even if the code itself may still be backwards compatible. Games played on the PS5 that require some sort of PS4 compatibility wrapper though are PS4 for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GBC was actually a free gift from a local game seller, because it was so badly damaged that he was convinced it couldn't be restored. When I got it someone has spilled cola all over it and let it sit for a couple decades; so the shell and buttons were totally gunked up, the screen and speaker were FUBAR'd, and the motherboard wasn't looking too good either. I ended up tossing the shell and replacing it with a new aftermarket shell and reproduction stickers, scrubbing the heck out of the motherboard, buttons, and membrane contacts for probably 6 hours or so until they were completely clean, replaced the screen with a new backlit TFT panel and glass screen lens, soldered in a new higher quality speaker from a DS Lite, then screwed it all back together and it's been my trusty gaming companion ever since. It was quite a project but it was really satisfying to bring a system everyone thought was unfixable back to life and make it look and play good as new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Apple iOS: Duolingo - 73 minutes Pikmin Bloom - 100 minutes Discord: GameQuiz Bot - 40 minutes Everybody else stopped playing, but I still do them for my own amusement. Will probably stop soon. LCD Handheld/Tabletop: Excalibur Classic Pinball - 20 minutes This is clearly the same game as the Radio Shack Shaky Action Pinball, except much slower and more tedious. But it's in color. Whoopie. Excalibur Pitfall - 20 minutes Unless I'm missing something, I kept getting stuck in unrecoverable situations that would have required me to wait out a long timer to even die. Meh. These folks did pioneer the individual colored overlay approach of LCDs, so that's cool I guess. Nintendo Game Boy Advance: Balloon Fight e - 25 minutes The e-Reader lives thanks to a dongle for my Analogue Pocket. The dongle was made to support Boktai and other real games, but why play those when you can play dead end peripheral games instead. Pretty neat! Nintendo Switch: Felix the Reaper - 120 minutes Not sure why a game voiced over by Patrick Stewart, with super high production values, and with a lot of challenge disappeared so completely, but I guess the gameplay can be extremely tedious for those who don't enjoy computer programming for fun. It does consist of staring at the scenery and developing an algorithm to get where you want to get, then debugging it. Still, consider giving it a try if that sounds fun. Flåklypa Grand Prix / Pinchcliffe Grand Prix - 20 minutes A Norwegian friend picked up this Scandinavian exclusive for me. It does a much better job at the claymation look than the Link's Awakening remake did. It's a very lovingly made game even if it's not the most exciting, and that means a lot to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedicated Handheld - 40 min. Total 8872 minutes and 33 different games on 12 different systems, with 5 participants. Up till now, we've rarely seen the PS5 in the tracker but this week it makes a huge impact as Horizon Forbidden West not only is the most played game this week, but the most played game in a single week all-time! The fact that it enters the 50 Hour Club is a given. The top list would now look like this: 1. Horizon Forbidden West (PS5) - 5520 min. 2. RimWorld (PC) - 4393 min. 3. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Xbox) - 3881 min. 4. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) - 3789 min. 5. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (Xbox One) - 3585 min. Back to this week's stats, the PS5 makes up for 65% of the total minutes with the Switch far behind in second place (14%). 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I forgot to post my time. It was modern gaming only. Sonic Origins for Switch - 620 minutes Progress: Just playing through various modes of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 still. Looks like this will bump into second place. PS5 will still hold the throne by a landslide. Edited July 26, 2022 by TheGameCollector 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 iOS: estimating since my screen time isn’t working. Let’s see how well it matches up! EDIT: it makes me question my estimates in general ? Duolingo - 95 minutes it was actually 70 minutes Pikmin Bloom - 70 minutes it was actually 183 minutes To be fair it is less like a game and more like work every week Nintendo DS: Lux Pain - 25 minutes finally found this for cheap. So far it is very visual novel-y. I think it eventually becomes a game… Metroid Prime Pinball - 20 minutes. Best Metroid game ever? Nintendo Switch: Flåklypa Grand Prix - 65 minutes. Made progress in story mode. Tiny Arcade/Micro Arcade: Micro Arcade Frogger - 20 minutes. Didn’t make much progress. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 As most of you probably have seen, Albert is moving the forum in the beginning of next week. AtariAge will be unavailable from Monday night US time and undetermined duration on Tuesday. Thus I'll delay the stats a bit, at least until Wednesday evening European time, perhaps until Thursday if required for everyone to post their times for the current week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
