Would you, with all the nutty posters on here? I do kinda wonder what's going on in these guys lives. I mean, they're really old at this point, so probably, you know, the last thing they want to do is get on the internet.

I am! And So are You! 😆🤣😁 It’s because of these guys that we’re on here!😆🤣😁  I’ll tell you what’s going in their lives, they are getting on all these forums checking people’s High Scores!😆🤣😁 After the big game crash there was nothing for them to do! 😆🤣😁

Yeah but I'm not as old as David Crane, I was a kid playing his games when he was a young man. It's big generational difference. I guess there proof is in the pudding. He's not on here! We gotta settle for a mardy Stella maintainer ! lol

I played this damn thing for almost two hours. I wanted to try to get a 100K but it just to damn hard! I finally had to stop because my wrist was starting to ache from playing. Anyway 68K is the best I could do on Solar Fox. Incredibly addictive game that really pisses you off but in a good way.

This is a good game! It’s just a matter of rhythm, you actually start to get the feel of it. Let me know how you do!

TERRIBLE! 🤣🤣🤣

 

It's pretty fun, but it's most definitely going to take a lot of practice to get the hang of it. Granted, I was only playing it for about forty minutes or so, but the lowest score I got was 11 something. I ended up having to switch over to a CX40+ too, as I thought I was going to end up breaking the joystick that came with my AFB12G, which feels pretty cheaply made. I'm going to play it more this evening to see if I can get a better hang of it.

Well done. I am around the same score playing this week.

 

Last night was Q*Bert time. I need a lot more practice there.

Love Q Bert! I didn’t think the 2600 version was any good. But since I acquired my 2600+ I’ve been playing it and I might add it plays very well on the 2600+

I like the thought of QBert, but whenever I play I end up pressing the wrong way at some point and jumping off the play area. 🤦🏻😬💁🏻 I just can't seem to get how it works, it won't stick in my brain. I know there's the turn the joystick diagonally method, but nah. I'll keep trying. 

 

Does anyone here own QBerts Qubes? Do you like?

I use the ProLine controller and hold it slightly turned in my left hand. It works very well, IMO.

I actually love the original 2600 version. Try using a Pro-line controller in good working condition holding it diagonally.

Works for me!

Another Pro-line user! These controllers are not as bad as people say. If it's in perfect working condition. 💪🏻😂

Wow, it’s quite expensive cart. 

Oh no, unfortunately I don't own it. But yeah loose carts are running for around $100 bucks on eBay. Another great thing about Boing is you don't have to worry jumping off the play field like you do on Q-Bert.
