Kurt_Woloch Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Here are my times for this past week (May 6th through 12th, 2022)... sorry, again no gaming this week. My current hobby is to draw a map of a "choose your own adventure" book (Kersti's Zauberschloß, available in German on www.kersti.de), and that already takes more time than I usually would take for gaming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Mario Bros. Level-Headed - I played all the way through the other 16 Easy Random Peach games I created in 2020, for a total of 20 games. The next batch will be games created with v0.3.9. That doesn't mean I won't ever go back and replay older ones someday of course. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 A little bit of modern and a little bit of classic gaming for me this week! I've been doing my yearly playthrough or Resident Evil 4 on the Switch (on Professional difficulty this time, which is equal parts challenging and frustrating but still pretty fun) and played some Atari 2600 games for the final round of the HSC's end of season major league tournament. The highlight of the week for me was setting a new world record high score in the Atari 2600 homebrew game RAPTOR during the final round of the tournament! Ineligible Resident Evil 4 (Nintendo Switch) - 1,205 minutes Atari 2600 RAPTOR - 101 minutes Wizard of Wor - 119 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week 1,425 minutes (23 hours 45 minutes) [220 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week Nintendo Switch: 1,205 minutes Atari 2600: 220 minutes 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Here's the summary for Week 23, running from June 6 - 12. We logged 2993 minutes of eligible play, playing 52 games on a total of 15 systems. Top 10: 1. Pokemon Red Version (Game Boy) - 583 min. (#3) 2. Super Mario Bros: Level-Headed v0.3.8 (NES/Famicom) - 329 min. (#1) 3. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 206 min. (#7) 4. Ghost Rush (CoCo 1 & 2) - 200 min. 5. Trapfall (Pitfall clone) (CoCo 1 & 2) - 190 min. 6. Raptor (Atari 2600) - 159 min. 7. OmniStar (CoCo 3) - 140 min. 8. Wizard of Wor (Atari 2600) - 119 min. 9. Enduro (Atari 2600) - 78 min. 10. Dragon Dance (Game Boy Color) - 75 min. Pre-NES top 10: 1. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 206 min. (PN#3) 2. Ghost Rush (CoCo 1 & 2) - 200 min. 3. Trapfall (Pitfall clone) (CoCo 1 & 2) - 190 min. (PN#6) 4. Raptor (Atari 2600) - 159 min. 5. Wizard of Wor (Atari 2600) - 119 min. 6. Enduro (Atari 2600) - 78 min. 7. Space Invaders (Atari 2600) - 58 min. 8. Asteroids (Atari 2600) - 36 min. (PN#4) 9. A Crush of Lucifer (Vectrex) - 35 min. 9. Bomb Threat (CoCo 1 & 2) - 35 min. Top 10 systems: 1. Atari 2600 - 737 min. (#2) 2. Game Boy - 583 min. (#4) 3. CoCo 1 & 2 - 425 min. (#7) 4. NES/Famicom - 401 min. (#1) 5. Arcade - 192 min. (#5) 6. CoCo 3 - 140 min. 6. Game Boy Color - 140 min. 8. SNES - 102 min. 9. Atari Jaguar - 80 min. 10. Vectrex - 65 min. It is a Pokémon week again, as the Red Version by a margin of 4h14m takes the overall title with last week's #1 in second place. Pre-NES, Solar Fox just barely takes the title ahead of the brand new Gold Rush on the CoCo. The four systems these games represent - Atari 2600, Game Boy, CoCo and NES - also hold the first four places on the systems list. Super Mario Bros: Level-Headed v0.3.8 (NES/Famicom) becomes member #492 in the 1000 Minute Club with a total of 1230 minutes. Also Solar Fox (Atari 2600) becomes the second game to exceed 40K minutes (total 40009 min). Of course it is almost 194K minutes behind Kaboom! but that is expected. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Today is Treasure's 30th anniversary, so I played some Treasure stuff. As of about a week ago, I'm semi-officially and possibly permanently moving away from using the RetroTINK/OSSC to use my Trinitron instead since that's why I have it. I just wish I could find some furniture that can safely support its 64kg weight so I don't have to leave the thing sitting on the floor, which makes it extremely awkward to use. Basically some of these games are just me trying various systems and cables on the CRT to see how it looks. I really do love CRTs. They are so good to play on.

carlsson Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Atari 8-bit: Final Legacy - 5 min. M.U.L.E. - 65 min. So yes, a brief game of the current A8 HSC and a full length game of my old time favorite (which I tend to play once a year). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaga 10 Gaplus 11 Mappy 13 Atari 2600 Demons to Diamonds 16 Eggomania 286 Kaboom 50 Solar Fox 121 cleaned my flashback paddles and first Eggomania score was 127,000. My second Kaboom score was 3,670. Pretty happy. Then I went to the basement and got my paddles from 1980 and gave them a quick clean and they worked perfectly. Hadn’t used them in 30+ years. Quite surprised. congrats to Skippy and Atarian7 for great HSC seasons that ended tonight. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played it through a few years back, mind you. A little more polish and it could have been a fun game. Those exhaust vents though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Not a huge week for me in this tracker either... Arcade: Finally built the last of my 2021 holiday season purchases, the Tempest Atari Legacy cabinet. So most of these are from that. Akka Arrh - 20 minutes. Fun, but the games are looooong. Asteroids - 10 minutes Asteroids Deluxe - 15 minutes Sadly, no screen overlay. Booooo!!!!! Gravitar - 25 minutes This was the inaugural game for the new machine since I have had it on the brain. Lady Bug - 25 minutes For a Facebook HSC Millipede - 35 minutes on two different machines Missile Command - 20 minutes Out Run - 15 minutes Just to listen to the music before bed, mostly... Pac-Man - 10 minutes Went head-to-head with the janitor at work and lost repeatedly. Power Drift - 25 minutes Finally starting to make some headway on this. Space Duel - 25 minutes Several go-arounds in both single ship and dual ship modes. Tempest - 15 minutes LCD/Tabletop: Basic Fun Q*Bert (colored LCD) - 15 minutes Q*Bert is probably the best-suited of the classic arcade games for rendering in LCD, even more than Frogger. That said, this version with full arcade sound effects is pretty great. I'd like to try the Coleco one before I get ahead of myself, though. Radio Shack Alien Chase - 15 minutes Kind of a disrespectful future sport (basically playing basketball with the bodies of aliens fleeing a collapsing spaceship) but it is a good challenge… Radio Shack Cosmic Quest - 20 minutes Doubles as a fake phaser! Nintendo Game Boy: Bubble Bobble - 15 minutes Collection Pocket - 110 minutes This odd little collection has five games I like a lot, e.g. and one game that I thought when I started playing was a real game but turned out to be just a slot machine: GameBoy Gallery - 20 minutes NOT a Game & Watch Gallery per se, this prototype for that series recreates G&W games in pixels, although with an odd and somewhat unsettling vibe. Gradius - 15 minutes Nintendo Game Boy Color: Pop'n'Pop - 20 minutes The same game as Yogi Bear's Great Balloon Blast, except it's the original version with the whole lineup of Taito mascots instead of a selection of three bears. Also there's a story. Also it's just way more polished in every way. Sega SG-1000: Hang On II - 45 minutes Really an amazing conversion given the hardware. The Black Onyx - 20 minutes Somehow I had gotten the idea that this was all in English, but there is enough English for me to figure out what I'm doing most of the time... kind of... Sega Genesis: Snake Rattle'n'Roll - 20 minutes Does it look like an NES game? Yes. Is it fun? Also yes. Wings of Wor / Gynoug - 35 minutes A representative sample: Sega Master System: Montezuma's Revenge - 75 minutes Several different attempts here, after a lot of playing around before recording. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Atari 2600 Raptor - 90 minutes Road Runner - 95 minutes Winter Games : Slalom - 20 minutes Solar Fox - 36 minutes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
