I noticed it was two months ago that I had more than 30 minutes to report on a single game, about a year ago that I had more than 60 minutes into one game. I haven't had a single game with triple digit minutes since April 2023. Three years ago I had a game with 300+ minutes in a week. Twice ever (counting back to 2013) that I broke 700 minutes on a single game in a week.

You should start tracking your time to put together the weekly stats on a new platform: Excel

[carlsson]

TBH I have set up the new, faster desktop PC but not yet installed enough software nor copied over all the files that I want to start using it to the fullest. The state of the new laptop is even worse. I have determined that it boots alright but nothing beyond that. Hopefully I'll have some time to spare in the summer to migrate into using both.

May 6-12:

 

Android

RB College - 70 min

Rebuild - 5 min

I guess this game started out as an Adobe Flash game, but o didn’t play it until they were giving it away (or it cost less than $1) for the Amazon FireOS. Not a bad little zombie city management game.

 

Atari 2600 (mostly real hardware )

Bumper Bash - 40 min

GI Joe Cobra Strike - 20 min

Kaboom - 20 min

Steeplechase- 17 min

Had to hook up real hardware for the HsC paddle games. 

 

PC Modern

Slay the Spire - 5 min

Logged into Steam after a long time of not playing PC games, and noticed i somehow broke the launching of this game. Still worked by launching the executable from the Steam folder, just not through the Steam page (which was odd). I need to go back to some of these low graphic intensity PC titles. I still have lots to unlock in FTL, and other such titles, but I never get around to playing them with so many free games given away each week under GOg, Amazon’s Prime, and Epic.

Han Chen Game Time LCD Handheld 

Tetris? 10 

 

 

 

I don't know how to classify this one.  I bought it for my mom who has always loved Tetris but somehow has lost access over the years through upgrading devices and generally not giving a sh!+.  Anyway, this plays an unnamed Tetris-style game that I tested for a few minutes after I put batteries in it.  I then wrapped it up for her and she seemed to like it when I gave it to her for Mother's Day yesterday.

 

PS4 
Tetris Effect 160 <- yep more Tetris

 

SMS 

Galaxy Force 115 

Space Harrier 9 

 

 

I had never heard of "Galaxy Force" before last week.  I thought it was a pretty fun rails-y shooter.  The HSC seemed to have a hard time completing the stages, but I managed to get two in a single game.

 

Xbox Series S/X 

Control  650 

 

I actually finished the main storyline in Control, but I kept playing for some of the side missions and the DLC which is available through GamePass right now.  There are things I really like about Control but the gameplay itself is sorta average.  I feel like I want to take advantage of playing the DLC while it is available to me, but I might poop out.

The most concern I have ever had about playing an arcade game. (Look at the surroundings carefully.)

I hope you washed your hands really well after that one!

You crushed the competition by so much I see some thought your score wasn’t even possible.  Congrats.

[TheGameCollector]

This past week I played:

 

Dragon Warrior II for NES - 143 minutes 

Super Mario Bros.: Level-Headed for NES - 96 minutes

Zelda 2024-2 by Tim D. (Hack) for NES - 15 minutes

Zelda 2024-5 by Tim D. (Hack) for NES - 475 minutes

 

X-Men Legends II for PC - 420 minutes

 

Pokemon Scarlet for Switch - 5 minutes

Pokemon Violet for Switch - 3 minutes

 

Progress:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - I just loaded up my files and downloaded the event download code versions of the Pokemon Flutter Mane because I heard about it.

 

Zelda Hacks - I revisited Tim's 2nd hack because he said he fixed some bugs, but since I already saved after touching what Ganon dropped, the glitch was still there so the only way to finish the game would be to re-play the whole thing or try to use a save from another Zelda game's file and see if that works. I'd rather just move along for now. I completed Tim's 5th game which he made very challenging on purpose. He hadn't finished the 4th game he started working on yet. Jim said he doesn't add a number to the game until he finishes it, while Tim just numbers them based on when he started making them.

 

X-Men Legends II (PC) - I finished my file of playing with the MarvelMods newest Angel mod on easy mode, then completed the first chapter with the newest Beast mod on easy mode.

 

Super Mario Bros.: Level-Headed - I completed 5 games with the normal difficulty mode and original graphics settings.

 

Dragon Warrior II - I started a new file, got the prince to join and made it to the town where the princess is still hidden.

I recognize the type of handheld. Some have 8 games, some have 23, some have (exaggerated) 9999 games. I'll add this one as 23-in-1 Brick Game (Generic) and an internal comment on how it was logged. We have since before a Super Brick Game 8-in-1 (Generic) and I do believe I have a few similar ones myself. Almost impossible to track origin, age or uniqueness.

Oh crud, I was late! I got a little sidetracked this week on account of being under general anesthesia this morning having surgery to get all 12 of my remaining teeth taken out, so that when my gums heal in 3 months or so I can get full dentures. The surgery went really well though and I'm feeling pretty good all things considered! Anyhoo, this week I beat Wario Land 4 for the Game Boy Advance and have spent most of the rest of my gaming time continuing my playthrough of Tomb Raider II.

[Atarian7]

You have to wait 3 months?  When I had a bunch of teeth extracted they told me I would have to heal for a month before getting implants.  I never went back though because I

had enough teeth to chew with.  Now those teeth are all in very bad shape.

It took me 1.5 hours to solder the cable from one scrap joystick to replace the cable on my favorite joystick, which must have suffered a broken wire somewhere. Then it took me just over 15 minutes to play enough to call it a wrap. Priorities.
