carlsson Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Here's the summary for Week 45, running from November 7 - 13. We logged 7286 minutes of eligible play, playing 99 games on a total of 22 systems. Top 10: 1. Suikoden (PlayStation) - 1332 min. 2. Donkey Kong 64 (N64) - 865 min. (#6) 3. Jumping Joey (CoCo 1 & 2) - 512 min. (#5) 4. Barnstorming (Atari 2600) - 383 min. 5. Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast) - 350 min. 6. Sub Hunt (Intellivision) - 324 min. (#9) 7.

The PlayStation keeps its position, though this week it is Suikoden that is the most played game by a margin of almost 8 hours ahead of Donkey Kong 64. On the pre-NES side, the Frogger-like game Jumping Joey is ahead of Barnstorming and Sub Hunt, with Solar Fox first at fourth place. We have no less than four new entries to the 1000 Minute Club: #506 Donkey Kong 64 (N64) - 1162 min (accomplished in two weeks, since it wasn't previously tracked?!) #507 Jumping Joey (CoCo 1 & 2) - 1036 min (including times previously recorded on CoCo 3) #508 Barnstorming (Atari 2600) - 1256 min #509 Turmoil (Atari 2600) - 1003 min 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Here are my times for this past week (November 14th through 20th) on classic systems: Arcade: Commando - 27 min. MSX: Commando - 58 min. in 3 sessions NES: Commando - 37 min. This week I concentrated on different versions of "Commando". The MSX one was what I played the longest, but I also tried the NES and the original arcade version. The NES version has modified level layouts and there are also dungeons which you can access after hitting some walls with a grenade which will free the entrance to them. These dungeons, strangely, are also present in the prototype for the Atari 8-bits (which I didn't play) and possibly the Atari 7800 version which has been made by the same company and which also contains weaponry upgrades which aren't there in the original version. The NES version is OK speed-wise, but it's easy to get caught in a tree. In other news, my 87 year old father fell again and spent 2 days in the hospital, after which they only let him go home under the provision that he'll receive better care there than before, so that's now being worked on. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Quite a lot this week! Arcade: Breakout! - 15 minutes Atari 2600: Four Activision classics for HSC and one random pick that felt uncomfortably like the Russian idea of warfare. Barnstorming - 65 minutes Bomb On Basic City - 20 minutes Fishing Derby - 20 minutes Freeway - 70 minutes Sky Jinks - 75 minutes Atari Lynx: Alpine Games - 20 minutes Ms Pac Man - 30 minutes Such an excellent version. Fairchild Channel F: Killer Heads of Lettuce - 15 minutes Videocart 24: Pro Football - 20 minutes Mostly playing against myself. I won! GCE Vectrex: Raid Over Vectrexia - 85 minutes How’s this for a photo? Very excellent homage to the Will Wright classic Raid on Bungeling Bay. Pick Axe Pete - 20 minutes Still really hard. I figured this out more the last time I played it and was struggling to get back to the same level of competence. UFO! - 25 minutes I don’t understand how the aiming works in this Odyssey2 port or if you can control it. Pretty fun, though! LCD/VFD: Konami Star Trek: 25th Anniversary - 15 minutes. ”That’s not logical!” Tiger Word Chaos - 35 minutes I got this fun game for dirt cheap, but alas one row of letters doesn’t work, which makes it much harder. Nintendo Entertainment System: Tapeworm Disco Puzzle - 65 minutes Sega Genesis: Devi & Pii - 25 minutes The problem with several of the exclusive newly finished games on the Genesis Mini 2 is that they were unreleased for a reason. This game is hectic, mind bending, and not very fun. I gave it an honest chance and doubt I will return to it. MUSHA/Musha Aleste - 35 minutes Hacked this onto my old Genesis Mini, played it to compare input lag with the Genesis 2 Mini. Seemed comparable. We were all cheated by the omission of this from both Western versions of the mini. Truxton - 25 minutes Hurts so good. Sega CD: Robo Aleste - 15 minutes It’s not bad, but it’s also not as good as its predecessor. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Intellivision Beamrider 516 (p.b. 127,968) Only one game for the Intellivision HSC - Beamrider. I like this game a lot, so it was easy to put in some extra time to hit my personal best. The HSC would normally end tonight, but it has been extended until Thanksgiving. With the scoring being a bit weird (buddy system), I'll have to be clever as I post my scores. I think I can win the round. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(#9) Beamrider on the Intellivision moves up quite a few spots on the pre-NES list and all the way to first place on both that one and the overall list! Pokémon Gold is a strong overall second, while Solar Fox leads the Atari 2600 to the systems title this week. The Genesis was 1 minute away from last place in that list! Two new members of the 1000 Minute Club: #510 Beamrider (Intellivision) - 1236 min. #511 Donkey Kong (Atari 8-bit) - 1001 min. That is the 18th Intellivision game and the 6th Atari 8-bit game to enter this club. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
