DragonGrafx-16 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think I was in the 8th grade when the SNES came out- I traded in my NES and ALL my NES games to get the console bundled with Mario World. My dad thought i was a lunatic,lol. I ended up finishing the game and all the secret levels as a kid. I came back to this game when I bought a SNES Mini and I'm pretty lousy at it, lol. I have managed to at least get to the World 5 Fortress though. I need to fire up my copy game again. I'm right at the fortress before Bowser's Castle... Pretty easy game considering you can farm for infinite lives on the first level. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 My times for the week: Game Boy: The Addams Family - 199 min. Rampart - 51 min. Beat The Addams Family. Thoughts on that, as well as the other two games I've beaten so far this year, here. Also played a fair way into Rampart on normal difficulty before getting a GAME OVER (well-timed, since dinner was ready). It uses a split-screen/flipscreen approach, which sort of works. I guess using a different character means you get fewer awkward castle pieces, so I'll try that next time. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 No gaming this week for me. Just too much other crap going on. Shame, because I did visit my dad - where my C64 is sitting on its table, set up and whispering "play me, play me". No time whatsoever :-(. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-NES list has various Atari games on the top 7 places, which is enough for the 2600 to yet again become the most played system of the week. Also this week we have a new entry on the 1000 Minute Club, namely Grand Prix for the Atari 2600 which has logged a total of 1150 minutes and becomes member #358. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 For that low(ish) number of minutes, 63 individual games seems pretty healthy... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Here are my times for this past week (January 28th through February 3rd) on classic systems: Atari 2600: Ms. Pac-Man - 9 min. Atari 7800: Baby Pac-Man - 81 min. in 3 sessions Jr. Pac-Man - 195 min. in 8 sessions PC (Windows 9x): Visual PinMAME: Baby Pac-Man - 3 min. This week there were a few new release candidates of Baby Pac-Man on the Atari 7800 which I tried. For a comparison, I also played the Visual PinMAME version of the game, as well as other Pac-Man games... Ms. Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 and Jr. Pac-Man on the Atari 7800 which I find to be surprisingly hard... I think the original arcade version is somewhat easier to play. I still managed to reach the 3rd maze on it. Maybe I picked a wrong version because it doesn't have the intermissions. I think the release version has the intermissions, maybe it's not that hard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 My times for the week: NES/Famicom: Double Dragon III - 85 min. Krusty's Fun House - 33 min. Game Boy: Rampart - 92 min. Tail Gator - 167 min. Beat Tail Gator for the first time, and Double Dragon III for the fourth (I think). Also started on Krusty's Fun House, and gave up (at least for now) on Rampart, which is as frustrating as every version of this game seems to be. You should try PaperBoy. I beat the Genesis version last year (at least on Normal/Middle Road). Got a bit burned out on it, to be honest, but maybe I'll try the GB version at some point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
