+Zeptari Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Game 3 Difficulty B/B 15,455 I really enjoyed this game. But im out of time. I loved the movie when I was a kid. Too bad they didnt make a game based on the old journey to the center of the earth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperboy Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 80565 I really like this game but yet another extremely busy week and weekend has kept me from putting in proper time to develop my score. Great job everyone, some excellent scores have been posted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Name 2 Atari 2600 games which have the same titles as two extremely popular (unrelated) 90's games. Star Fox and Wing War? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The Beach Boys ! Just to add fuel to the fire: Scott specifically told me to pay attention to the character names. One of them: Bruce Johnson. The Beach Boys' core members through a good deal of the career included Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Dennis Wilson, and....Bruce Johnston. So, yeah....you got it! (I don't think this counts as two questions because there as an "or" in the question....since you met the requirement of answering the question, might as well get the other half of the town. Tommy Torrance's back story reflects the lyrics of The Trade Winds' "New York's A Lonely Town," the lyrics being about a surfer who had to relocate from California to NYC and as a result could no longer surf.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ok, so I'm not sure why amnesia struck me this week, but tonight's play session reminded me that you have to play this game like a bat out of hell. Slow and steady LOSES the race EVERY time. So with that, I was able to increase my score a little bit before the deadline. I'm satisfied with 231130 on to Zaxxon! 231130 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Star Fox and Wing War? Close! I was looking for Star Fox & Gauntlet. I never knew about Wing War, not sure if that was "extremely popular," but i do see it's a 90's game. Now I see I blew it again! Gauntlet came out in 1985 . well, it was still popular in the nickel-arcades early 90's. anyway your answer was closer, so (+1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
