Lagoon moves from #9 to #2 but is 17 minutes short from the first place, still held by Pokémon Gold. Yet again, Solar Fox is the most played pre-NES game, followed by another four games from the lower half of last week's list. System wise, the Atari 2600 regains first place from the Game Boy Color. We have a rare visitor in fourth place, the Watara SuperVision and below the list, a new entry in form of the Thomson MO5.

 

The new systems this year so far are Acorn Archimedes, Apple IIgs, Dragon 32, IBM PCjr, SAM Coupé and Thomson MO5, which I believe brings us up to 132 more or less unique systems pre-2000.

 

Lagoon (SNES) also becomes member #512 in the 1000 Minute Club with a total of 1178 min.

Nothing but Toaplan. Got my Hishouzame arcade PCB in the mail, so lots of that. Planning on getting the Out Zone clear soon. I no missed to the final stage just now and lost all of my extends there, so I should be able to do it soon. Crazy game. Play it!

As usual, no retro gaming until Sunday afternoon. I gave some of the HSC games another try, including that managed to run Break It! after fiddling with the start screen settings. Good for me, as it turned out to be the game I played for the longest period of time.

Here are my times for this past week (December 5th through 11th) on classic systems:

 

Arcade:
Jr. Pac-Man - 30 min. in 4 sessions

 

This week I revisited Jr. Pac-Man for some short sessions, but not with particularly impressive results - the farthest I got was the 3rd maze. I spent far more time caring for my father who insisted on getting home from the care facility and now gets a 24 hours care, but this is about to break as well due to him insisting on getting back to his normal bed instead of being caught up in a care bed.

Spent some time hanging out with buddies playing games this week, hence the large number of games played for a short time only. Beat Sirius and Harpy’s Curse. Got to the alien queen 3 times in Alien Brigade and just instantly (?) died each time. Is there some trick I don’t get? On level 1 I failed the mission maybe 5 times before I realized that you aren’t supposed to throw a grenade at the yellowish helicopter at the end that uses the exact same sprite as the ones that shoot at you. 

 

Edit-couldn’t read my own crappy handwriting for play times. Corrected Harpy’s Curse time

[TheGameCollector]

This week I played:

 

Final Fantasy III (VI) for Super Nintendo - 237 minutes

 

Progress - just got Setzer's airship for the first time to land on the south continent where Vector is located. I'm working on buying better armor before I proceed.

 

I got the flu at the end of this week so not as much gaming took place. I'm still not sure if I have enough stamina to start playing this week.

Yup, it is official. Solar Fox is an "OK" game. Actually it is OK enough to become the most played game this week, and lead the Atari 2600 to the systems title. The arcade version of Hishouzame is not far behind on the main list, and the only other game remaining from last week, Jumping Joey is in a strong pre-NES second place.

 

ToeJam & Earl (Genesis) becomes member #513 in the 1000 Minute Club with a total of 1037 minutes.

[Atarian7]

agb  How far have you gotten in Solar Fox with a perfect game?  (All skip a rack, all challenges, no lives lost) 

 

Last night I think I made it to rack 47.   I ended up playing close to 3 million.
