What have you PLAYED weekly tracker 2024 (ALL GENERATIONS)

Atari 2600 

Circus Convoy 13 

 

Intellivision  

Ghostbusters UE 72

I had almost no gameplay time until Sunday when I just sorta vegged out and did nothing but play games all day.  I now own Circus Convoy which means combined with Ghostbusters UE that I've purchased 2 relatively expensive homebrews for classic systems this month - let the good times roll.  SMS time is for the HSC.  I dunno about Columns.  I might be a "Tetris Only" kinda guy when it comes to block falling games.  I can't really seem to make sense of a strategy here besides just the obvious 3 block chains.  Diagonals are hard.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is new to the tracker, straight into first place. Loopz and Turmoil battle for most played Atari game, of which the latter at least takes the pre-NES title. A slight move towards newer formats in the system list again, but the top three are PS2, Atari 2600 and Atari Lynx.

 

No new entries to the 1000, 5000, 10000 Minute Clubs.

[TheGameCollector]

I'm actually surprised that version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance hadn't been played on the tracker yet. Has it ever been played on here for any of the other systems? There is a website called MarvelMods that lets you download characters and edit the PC version to play as those custom characters. X-Men Legends II PC version as well. I'd like to replay those on there sometime and do that. They even have characters from all kinds of random other series like Goku, Vegeta, Luigi, Sonic, Batman and Kain.

 

It could also be that the game is from 2006 so everyone played it that year when it came out and just chose not to revisit it by the time we started doing trackers.

I know that I went back and played the 360 version after it was popular, but it may have been before we started time tracking for modern games.  I love the series and didn't know about those mods - so thanks for that tip!

[Kurt_Woloch]

Here are my times for this past week (April 15th through 21st):

 

As last week, I didn't play anything that would be eligigle for the tracker. But I'm continuing on the electronic version of "The Grindy Adventure", and this week I created a nifty trick where you can buy items in a supermaket and eat them leter, which unfortuately is normally hard to achieve with this game engine.

Edited April 21 by Kurt_Woloch

Apple iOS:

Galaxy Mix: Planet Watermelon - 13 min

I appreciate the different twist on Suika Game. It might be a little too easy but it's still pretty fun.

Atari Lynx:
Eggsavier's Cackleberry Rescue - 65 min

Pac-Land - 90 min

I had never really gotten the feel for this game before, but after playing it for the Lynx High Score Challenge I finally got it. It's officially a favorite game of mine now!
 

Atari ST:

Got a working STf and am back in the ST business. I mostly played through some new old stock games I had picked up over the years, but had never played. I tried to play old favorite Orion's Run but sadly the disk was corrupted and I couldn't get past the awesome title screen music.

 

ALCOR - 65 min

You may know this from my previous Genesis and arcade reports as Slap Fight. This port is seriously messed up, with most of the secrets missing and enemies shooting no matter how close you are to them. To make matters worse, the way continues work is changed in ways that ensure if you die once, you have no chance of ever powering up or getting further. At least I beat the first boss.

 

Gauntlet - 45 min

A great game undone with a terrible door decision.

 

Lemmings - 60 min

S.T.U.N. Runner - 25 min

 

This music was all the enjoyment I could get since on my NTSC ST the game timer ran too fast and I couldn't finish a single segment no matter how perfectly I played.

 

Also spent a bunch of time playing around with the ST, especially in Atari Planetarium, including replaying the eclipse.

 

Nintendo 3DS:

The Oregon Trail - 105 min

I played to a game over. It may be updated with 3D graphics, but it's still the same ol' RNG fest underneath. Not bad, though.

 

Nintendo Entertainment System:

Justice Duel - 11 min

Log Jammers - 95 min

This game has problems in 1P, but after figuring out an exploit that evens the tables so much I have enjoyed it much more than I expected. If only they had made it horizontal instead of vertical...

 

VICE: Project Doom - 15 min

 

[+thegoldenband]

My first gaming in a while, in the company of a diminutive entity who is beginning to understand and appreciate these things:

 

Jakks Plug & Play TV Games Disney 5 in 1:

Donald’s Golf Tournament - 5 min.

Lilo & Stitch: Stitch's Search for Paradise - 30 min.

[CapitanClassic]

April 15-21: Didn't play much this week.

RB College - 15 min

[Atarian7]

Atari 2600

I had more variety this week than I expected with a mix of emulation, classic hardware, Atari 50, VR and other modern gaming.  I'm enjoying Circus Convoy more than I expected.  It is really more of an adventure game where you collect items and have to figure out how to use them.  The previews and release footage made it seem more like a platformer - and it does have those elements, but the moments you spend time on are really figuring out what your items can do and how to explore the convoy.
