For me, a busy week with less time for gaming. Almost all hours played on the HyperMegaTech Super Pocket.

 

Apple iOS:

Widower's Sky - 5 min

 

Arcade:

Bubble Bobble - 45 min

Elevator Action - 60 min

Teki-paki - 45 min

Truxton - 20 min

Discovered that this is unplayable for me on the Super Pocket because the d pad can be pressed down.

 

Atari Lynx:

Growing Ties - 55 min

Ynxa: Leaf and the Guardians of Time - 30 min

Amazing achievement on the Lynx and a super fun game!

 

Browser:

Paku Paku - 9 min

Suika Game - 22 min

 

Dedicated LCD handheld/tabletop:

Entex Space Invader - 15 min

GCE Vectrex:

Minestorm (US built-in) - 25 min

 

Milton Bradley Microvision:

Block Buster - 25 min

Sega Genesis:

Sword of Sodan - 75 min

Learning the potion system made this game actually kinda fun even if it's still not great.

 

Sony PlayStation:

Worms Armageddon - 400 min

For the Evercade Discord challenge, got 6 out of 18 wins for full challenge points. Way too much Worms.

 

Tiger game.com:

Henry - 20 min

 

Solitaire - 20 min

[TheGameCollector]

This week I played:

 

Super Mario Bros.: Level-Headed for NES - 392 minutes

 

Progress: I played the last 22 roms of my first generated set using a Powerpak on a real NES and succeeded in completing only 6 of them. That random difficulty setting is typically actually really hard with a high percentage of results being "brutal" difficulty. Since then, I've generated 1 set of Easy and 9 sets of Normal difficulty games to try.

Metroid Prime Remastered doesn't go under Game Cube... it does have some changes other than the graphics.

Haha fair. It is definitely less than I have been logging lately but well above my average. A lot of it was killing time when traveling. Most of the time playing Worms was waiting for the friggin CPU to decide what it was going to do (up to thirty seconds per turn, which it almost always entirely uses up) so it didn't feel like that much gameplay. Plus I added Sword of Sodan after I posted the other totals.
 

So it didn't feel like I had dedicated that much time even though the clock says I did.

That's fine, @carlsson can put it under Nintendo Switch instead and I'll log my time for it going forward as Metroid Prime Remastered on Switch

 

 

[carlsson]

Ok. I thought maybe the Remastered had an old-school Gamecube mode, that lets you run the original game in emulation but if that isn't the case, I suppose it should go with the other times already recorded for the Remastered on Switch.

[DragonGrafx-16]

One big difference is that you can jump with the morphball like in the version on the Wii trilogy. Not to mention the modern FPS controls. I am annoyed at how you change beams as you press Y and change with right stick but the original version the C stick was dedicated to it. Maybe there is a classic mode setting in the extras but I've not checked it out.

 

Here's to hoping that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 get the remastered treatment as well. 2 was my favorite.

Galaga 2/'91 is a really great game. Both GG Aleste games (Power Strike 2) are even better. Good eating! The first Aleste isn't on the Game Gear, just the Mark III

Aleste isn't just on the Mark III when SMS Power Strike is the exact same game with just an edited title screen. Same hardware pretty much though.

This week, I more or less forgot to play any games. The week was all work, and the weekend was all retro programming, other duties and sleep. Next weekend is board gaming, hopefully I'll squeeze in a few minutes some late work evening.

[Kurt_Woloch]

Here are my times for this week (February 12th through 18th, 2024):

 

I didn't really play any games this week, though at two points I was close to...

 

Firstly, I tried to play the arcade game "Pump Plop" on retrogames.cc. This seems to be a more modern take on "Circus" (don't know what its actual arcade name was, this was the name on the Atari 2600). But it requires a spin controller which isn't supported on the emulator used by this site, so it's sadly unplayable.

 

Secondly, I downloaded "Smurf Rescue" for the C-64. However, I didn't really play the game, but only went to examine it. The graphics are pretty close to the Colecovision version, but it's slow due to being programmed in BASIC. I think this could be improved by running it through a compiler like Austro-Comp. But there are some difficultis with that... the game first unpacks and only then reveals it's a BASIC program if you stop it, and then I don't know which non-standard subroutines it used (it probably uses some).
