Looks fantastic!

RIP Dickey Betts. Incredible song writer, great guitarist and a HUGE influence. The Allman Brothers Band is my all-time favorite band. Rest in peace to one of the last Brothers (Jaimoe is the only original member left).

Hard to pick a favorite. My favorite Dickey song is probably Blue Sky. Favorite ABB song... I don't know. I absolutely love Get On With Your Life... Maybe Whipping Post? Dreams? Liz Reed?
Back Where It All Begins is my favorite studio record. It's the one that got me into the band in the first place so it has a special place.

Here's what I see starting the game:
-
In my version there was a Single player -> Game 1 / Game 2 -> Level X option. I may have worded it wrong, I'll have to check tonight. Pretty much default settings (i.e. Original). I'm not sure there's any real advantage to starting higher than level 0 . I was able to get a screenshot on the game over screen (I'm playing the US rom on Dega), IIRC it stayed up for a while. This is a game I don't have on cart, so I'm not sure what it *really* looks like.. I can do that - Double Down it is!

Getting on the board. 43,980

Time for a change of pace from shooting things down, or kicking dudes in the face. Let's play Columns. It's a game I played on the Genesis a fair bit, but never the SMS version. Let's play Game 1. For one bonus point, play Darts Double Down in Parlour Games (a personal favorite of mine). For one ADDITIONAL bonus point, play all three Parlour Games, any variation: one game each of Darts, Billiards & Bingo. This round runs April 11 - April 28 (sorry, started late this time, I'll let it run an extra week). Totals @BydoEmpire 43,980 @wongojack 33,960 (+2)

Sorry guys, I'm behind on this - crazy weekend last weekend and i didn't get a chance to set up the next round. One week delay...

Picked up a used Meta Quest 1 for cheap. It's actually pretty cool, there are some neat travel & meditation apps. The virtual roller coaster is surprisingly fun. Hard to wear for a long time with glasses, though. About 30m is all I can do. Still, for cheap, it's a fun little gadget. Older model isn't super high res, but it gets the job done. The tracking is really good.

For me, it's more that it presses the bridge against my nose. I'm using an older pair of glasses with thin wire frames. If I had bigger, thicker glasses it might be a different problem. I can do about 30m, then it starts to get uncomfortable. Still, that's enough to enjoy it. I don't need to sit with tiny screens one inch in front of my eyeballs for hours on end.

Got to stage 2 - 628,000. I lost one life because Buster wanted attention and kept head-butting my hand while I was trying to dodge bullets!
-
Buster was quite amused by Thunder Blade. I think she was pondering whether or not she could eat the helicopters flying around... i'm open to whatever the group wants to do. Generally, I'm inclined to say no autofire for HSC games but I mostly play for fun so it's not that big a deal either way.
-
Your picture there is the closest I'll come to seeing the ending screen of Rambo, so thanks for that!
-
Getting on the board. I'm enjoying Thunder Blade more than I thought I would. It was pretty exciting to get to the 3D stage the first time. I have to learn not to fly too close to the top of the screen in the overhead stages, though, I tended to lose a lot of lives quickly. 149,000. Played a quick game of Afterburner - I might to do this as a full round at some point. It was the first (non-pack in) game I got w/ my Master System back in '89 or so.
-
I owned this back in the day, but I remember being a little disappointed. It looked good, but I thought it was really hard (compared to Afterburner, anyways). I haven't played it in ages, so let's see how accurate my memory is with Sega's unique two-perspective arcade game: Thunder Blade For one bonus point, play any Sega Master System game where you fly a jet. This round runs March 25 - April 7.

Today I put on Youtube for my cats so they wouldn't bother me while I worked from home. What kind of crazy world do we live in? Granted, it was just during a particular 30m meeting late, but still... File under "things that 5 years ago i wouldn't not have foreseen myself doing." By the way, the Birder King channel is great - my cats both absolutely love it.

A bit better, finally made it to round 2: 27,750
