digdugnate Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 As mentioned elsewhere on AA, I finally got my home office setup last week and my Sega Saturn came in the mail. I played a lot of games on these platforms, but the games below were the ones I spent any significant amount of recordable time on: Commodore 64: Blue Max -- 120 minutes Lode Runner -- 60 minutes Omega Race -- 45 minutes TI-99/4A: Alpiner -- 120 minutes Parsec -- 120 minutes Squary (for HSC) -- 45 minutes Sega Saturn: Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition -- 120 minutes Digital Pinball: Necronomicon -- 60 minutes Gokujou Parodius -- 45 minutes Sexy Parodius -- 90 minutes 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 2600 Battlezone - 112 minutes Combat - 61 minutes Off The Wall - 43 minutes Combat in the HSC?! I'll have to check out the way they are doing that. I think I would kinda like to have an excuse to play Combat single player. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic Fun Pac-Man Mini Arcade Classics #07 - 25 minutes Me neither. Those games have been tracked both in the classic and modern tracker under various names. I'll try to weed out the discrepancies and put them in one place once and for all. Edit: Ok, since it clearly is not a ROM emulation of the arcade game and it was made in this century, I'll track it in the modern section like this: Dedicated Handheld: Pac-Man Mini Arcade Classics #07 [Basic FUN] - 25 minutes Edited September 12, 2022 by carlsson 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is running a hack of the NES version. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 You know how time fades away… Atari 2600: Aquaventure - 25 minutes Battlezone - 25 minutes Combat - 15 minutes Midnight Magic - 150 minutes Mr. Do - 45 minutes Off the Wall - 120 minutes Radar (Zellers) - 15 minutes Threshold - 15 minutes Atari 7800: Asteroids - 45 minutes I missed the deadline for the HSC but I had to score better than I did originally. GCE Vectrex: 23 Matches - 10 minutes Gravitrex - 25 minutes People who think Gravitar is hard won’t have any idea what hit ‘em. LCD: Tiger Game Grips Goldeneye 007 - 45 minutes Nintendo Entertainment System: Micro Mages - 35 minutes Nintendo Game & Watch: Donkey Kong - 25 minutes Real life: Frogger - 45 minutes Why did the frog cross the road? More like why didn’t they. Chased dozens of the little dummies off the road where they were sitting there waiting to be run over. Don’t they know there’s a timer??? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 I had to look up how old frogs can become. In real life it seems around 14-18 years in the wild, up to 20 years in captivity. Toads can live up to 40 years. Based on that, I'd place your real life frog in the modern tracker. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Here's the summary for Week 36, running from September 5 - 11. We logged 4239 minutes of eligible play, playing 59 games on a total of 22 systems. Top 10: 1. Dreadnaught Factor (Intellivision) - 706 min. (#1) 2. Off The Wall (Atari 2600) - 307 min. (#9) 3. Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 (Amiga) - 300 min. 4. Silent Service (Commodore 64) - 210 min. 5. Midnight Magic (Atari 2600) - 165 min. (#7) 6. Jones in the Fast Lane (PC DOS) - 140 min. (#3) 7. Battlezone (Atari 2600) - 137 min. 8. Grand Prix (Atari 2600) - 135 min. 9. Alpiner (TI-99/4A) - 120 min. 9. Blue Max (Commodore 64) - 120 min. 9. Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition (Sega Saturn) - 120 min. 9. Parsec (TI-99/4A) - 120 min. Pre-NES top 10: 1. Dreadnaught Factor (Intellivision) - 706 min. (PN#1) 2. Off The Wall (Atari 2600) - 307 min. (PN#6) 3. Silent Service (Commodore 64) - 210 min. 4. Midnight Magic (Atari 2600) - 165 min. (PN#4) 5. Battlezone (Atari 2600) - 137 min. 6. Grand Prix (Atari 2600) - 135 min. 7. Alpiner (TI-99/4A) - 120 min. 7. Blue Max (Commodore 64) - 120 min. 7. Parsec (TI-99/4A) - 120 min. 10. Ms. Pac-Man (Atari 5200) - 100 min. (PN#7) 10. Ms. Pac-Man (Atari 8-bit) - 100 min. Top 10 systems: 1. Atari 2600 - 1108 min. (#2) 2. Intellivision - 706 min. (#1) 3. Commodore 64 - 435 min. (#3) 4. Amiga - 337 min. 5. Sega Saturn - 315 min. 6. TI-99/4A - 285 min. 7. Amstrad CPC - 165 min. 8. Atari 8-bit - 145 min. 9. PC DOS - 140 min. (#6) 10. Atari 5200 - 100 min. The Dreadnaught Factor delivers as promised, and not only is the by far most played game, it also enters the 1000 Minute Club as #498 with a total of 1585 minutes. Behind that game, there is a close battle between Off the Wall and Sensible World of Soccer 96/97. For once, neither Solar Fox (98 min) nor Kaboom! (24 min) enter even the pre-NES list. Instead at the shared last place in the pre-NES list, we have two versions of Ms. Pac-Man for the Atari 5200 and 8-bit. System wise, the Dreadnaught Factor on its own can't hold back the Atari 2600 from overtaking the top position. We have a situation where 6 of 10 systems belong in the computer category, and likewise 6 of 10 are new from last week! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think this might be one of extremely few weeks this year that I did not play a single Toaplan game at all in either tracker; instead we have Gain Ground here. Arcade Gain Ground (Japan) - 6 Japanese version is a 2-player game while the international version is a 3-player game. There are probably other differences, as well, but I don't know what they are. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Atari 8-bit: Gyruss - 13 min. Vanguard - 35 min. I have too much stuff to do to really get busy with playing video games. However there was a warning that the current round of the A8 HSC may end prematurely on Tuesday, almost a full week earlier than first announced. Thus if I wanted to participate at all, it was now or never so that is why I spent some time on the chore "playing video games" over the chores "doing the dishes", "updating the website" or "taking out the trash". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Here are my times for this past week (September 12th through 18th, 2022) on classic systems (no modern gaming this week): Arcade: Jr. Pac-Man - 25 min. This was a rather busy week, so I only played a single session of Jr. Pac-Man, which was 2 or 3 games. In one of them I reached Level 3, but didn't manage to complete it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
