This one began showing all 6 characters, but having two vanish, when you'd select one. You could have either top 4, or bottom 4. Then, the puzzle screen showed up, and upon reset, 1st two characters gone, and it still only lets half of the remaining in. RIP, it lived a good life. Taking a whif near cart edge, something baked.

I believe the SRAM only died. Game still plays, but less characters each time. I still have the NES one, and SNES Eye of the Beholder, far as that type goes. Another Wiz V is cheap enough still, or I can get a repro. I have it on one Fram-save multicart too. I've been considering the repro with the transated Wiz 1-2-3 on one cart, which lets you carry characters from one chapter into the next. Funny thing is, I know we hardly ever played this one, and battery still reads 3.29vdc. I think it was just a bad one, from new.

Kurt_Woloch Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Here are my times for this week (September 4th through 10th) on classic systems... Amiga: Paperboy - 5 min. Vindicators - 2 min. Arcade: Frogger - 10 min. Q*bert - 5 min. I didn't play too many classic games this week. One session on MAME yielded 5 minutes of Q*bert because I did really badly and gave up after one game, and then tried Frogger, which worked out a bit better. Then today I tried if my old Amiga 500 still works, which it does, but not all of the disks were readable, and the two games I got to play actually had errors as well... Vindicators crashed after the 1st level, and Paperboy showed crap as the title screen. On both games, the framerate is not so great though, probably to the fact that they have been more or less converted from ST versions, or developed together with the Amiga version essentially working much the same as the Atari ST version, that is, not using much of the trickery the Amiga has to offer like scrolling and the Blitter. Both are scrolling games though, and I suppose this is done by just redrawing the whole screen with each frame. The C-64 versions probably have a better framerate (I know this for a fact for Paperboy)... however especially with US companies the C-64 sometimes suffered the same fate, having the games based on the same codebase as the Atari XL and sometimes also the Apple II version, thus only using the lowest common denominator, which is a 160x200 screen in 4 colors with software sprites and only very few system-specific sugar on top of it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokemon Gold - Played additional files to get 9 starter Pokemon then traded them all to my main file. I also traded myself lots of nuggets and sold them to buy my first Porygon. Sonic 3D Blast - completed the game with all emeralds. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 If I played the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros., how should I list it? SNES - Super Mario All-Stars SNES - Super Mario All-Stars (Super Mario Bros.) SNES - Super Mario Bros. (Super Mario All-Stars) SNES - Super Mario Bros. NES - Super Mario Bros. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think just the first one... the only time I think you could make an exception for this is if you have the version of Super Mario All-Stars that also has Super Mario World in which you'd put it under Super Mario World if you played that game. Though there's nothing wrong with saying which game in the comp you played. All-Stars SMB1 has differences compared to the NES original other than just the graphics and sound. You can't jump over raised piranha plants in 4-1 like you can in the original. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm already nearly 7 hours into M&M and have only just ventured out of the starting town. This is going to be a long one! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Atari 2600 Asteroids Attack 36 HERO 2 36 NES 1942 17 Die Hard 121 Pirates! 116 Rad Racer 196 Spy Hunter 55 Super Pinball 72 I managed to get my hands on an AVS recently, so I've been playing some NES games (via the PowerPak). Die Hard was one I had never played before. It was recommended in a video I watched this week of greatest licensed games. IMO the game is quite good in that it actually attempts to re-create the events in the movie, and it is NOT just another side-scrolling platformer. Pirates! is the all time classic ported over. I have never given this version much time, but I'm pleased with it. As for Rad Racer, I never gave this game an honest chance bitd. Come to find out in 2023 that it is really just Nintendo's answer to Pole Position. Seems to do a fine job of being like Pole Position to me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the little monster companion you get, but the combat requires too many buttons for me.

Atarian7 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 On Solar Fox, I made it to Rack 255 last night, but I lost on that rack. I had to risk a life to get "skip a rack" or the game was over anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
