For what it is worth, the following games including Marvel in the title have been tracked: Android - Marvel Snap Arcade - Marvel vs. Capcom Dreamcast - Marvel vs. Capcom Dreamcast - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Genesis - Marvel Land NES/Famicom - Marvel's X-Men [aka Uncanny X-Men] PC Modern - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series PS2 - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Sega Saturn - Marvel Super Heroes Sega Saturn - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter SNES - Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems Switch - Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Xbox 360 - Marvel Super Hero Squad Xbox One - Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 Xbox One - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Xbox Series S/X - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy I noticed there is one more entry for Guardians of the Galaxy for the Xbox Series S/X. I suppose those two should be merged, or has there been one Marvel and one non-Marvel game in that franchise?

Loopz and Turmoil battle for most played Atari game, of which the latter at least takes the pre-NES title. A slight move towards newer formats in the system list again, but the top three are PS2, Atari 2600 and Atari Lynx. No new entries to the 1000, 5000, 10000 Minute Clubs.

I just realized that the closing of this contest will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Dartmouth BASIC, as the first version was released on May 1, 1964.

Has the bin2ecs tool been updated along with the firmware updates, i.e. perhaps Duttroid used an earlier version of the conversion tool on the Mac, and happened to download a more recent version for Windows?

Atari 8-bit: River Raid - 18 min. SNES: Cool Spot - 5 min. Fever Pitch - 8 min. Nigel Mansell's World Championship - 12 min. PGA Tour Golf - 29 min. Super R-Type - 12 min. After another mediocre attempt in the A8 HSC, I went through my list of systems and dug up something I hadn't touched for nearly 6 years, namely the SNES. Part of that was to try the Secret Santa gift from @Armscar Coder in form of PGA Tour Golf. Probably the default is an easy mode where the game automatically selects the most suitable club and perfect aim so you just have to control the strength and hook. There is a lot of pressing the Start button all the time to move to the next screen, and that in some occasions the button layout shifts between when you're on the fairway or green. Playable, but probably not EA Sports' most famous moment, or for that matter Rob Hubbard's as the musician. Leaderboard Golf on the C64 some seven years earlier was probably more impressive. The other SNES games were a bit troublesome to start, possibly due to my console not having been used for 6 years but eventually they all started without issues.

Yeah. The raw output from SID2MIDI starts at octave 1, so in order for it to compile at all, I had to replace all 1 with 2. A more proper operation would involve transposing the whole piece to a playable range, but that would take me more than 45 minutes from start to finish. I suppose one could have the program output a MIDI file instead, and then do necessary adjustments in a music program. The question then is how you get from MIDI to a text format, which we have discussed several times before. I believe someone had made a tool that does that, for a certain subset of MIDI files (meaning you can't expect to feed the conversion tool any random MIDI file, only those which have been preprocessed).

In the mean time, I made a very rough conversation using SID2MIDI. Most of the notes need lengthening (replacing "-" with "s") and the octaves are all over the place due to we can't use octave 1 on Intellivision. Also there should be a jump somewhere and you might want to shorten the music as this file is 14 kilobytes just the song. ggs-ingame.bas ggs-ingame.bin ggs-ingame.cfg

Playing the Intellivision gets your bowels moving faster?

Clearly I'm playing in the children's division on this game... Total score: 22530 pts Bridges 1-4: 5150 pts First life: 8980 pts Highest bridge reached: 16

While only one of the two X-Men Legends remain on the top list this week, the sequel in the series takes the overall win by a margin of 4.6 hours ahead of a bunch of pre-NES games with Solar Fox as the first runner up. It brings the Atari 2600 as the most played system again, in a week where neither of the Xboxes, PS3/4/5, Switch/Wii are present. If it wasn't for modern PC gaming and the smartphones, the systems list would almost look semi-retro overall. No new entries to the 1000/5000/10000 Minute Clubs, and no, I haven't migrated to either of my two new computers: firstly the desktop which is scheduled to arrive by Thursday (so I can't use it just yet) and secondly a friend of mine sold an affordable laptop that will replace the 10+ year old one I'm sometimes using.
