[Season 7 ~ Week 6 ~ Gold Medal Pick]

There's also a safe spot between the top and middle tier.

 

Yeah I learned not to go near the top.

[Season 7 ~ Week 6 ~ Gold Medal Pick]

Yeah found the safe spot. Guess I needed a bit more time with the game. Got this score & mustve bumped the 7800, froze the game, & got this screen color.

 

I will make this my final, I really dont want to torture myself anymore. Not like I have a chance to win anyway.

[Season 7 ~ Week 6 ~ Gold Medal Pick]

Ok so I'm to understand to keep up with the Jonses this week, I need to get 80K with 6 lives showing/remanining?

 

So this post doesnt help me? I must be the oldest competitor this week, or at least have the worst reaction time. I don't understand how you guys make it look so easy, I find it very challenging.

 

& the guy who wanted to let his kid take over, that made my blood boil even more. I hope I don't ruin a controller over this, I threw it plenty of times earlier today

[Space Jockey Hack for Atari 2600]

Yeah thats not a hack

[Pie Factory Podcast...]

Question: What did Sean get wrong *this time*? Answer: it’s probably somewhere in this episode. So is a missing sequined glove (probably). Anyway, just listen to episode 70. Because that’s what it certainly is: an episode.http://fab4it.com/piefactory/audio/PFP_Episode070.mp3

Sean was wrong when he said having a dog is a handful when the subject of having kids came up.

Not a fan of this game because you can get screwed by no fault of your own. Like fellow Minnesotan Jin, that's all the Frostbite you'll get outta me.

 

We can look out the window & see enough ice & snow.

[Season 7 ~ Week 5 ~ Frostbite]

Hate Frostbite.

[Season 7 ~ Week 4 ~ Beamrider]

All I did in RS FB was trade off kicking 40 yd field goals with the computer. I completed 2 passes, to no avail.

 

Start the play, hear the whistle. Start the play, hear the whistle. Blechhh.

[Season 7 ~ Week 4 ~ Beamrider]

The manual won't help much.

[Season 7 ~ Week 4 ~ Beamrider]

Football bonus 36-9

 

Dreadful, dreadful game. Did Atari ever make a decent home version of football?

[Season 7 ~ Week 4 ~ Beamrider]

Try, try again. Much improved!

Decent game, not one of my faves.

You sure I said IntariVisions? I know I said Colecovisions awhile back...

[The Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast]

Did the magazine/external critics all review the same game? Sheesh.

 

The music's awesome! I think Capt. Squideo should change his name to Capt Squidiot.

I would've said nudging INFLUENCES the trajectory of the ball, rather than adjusts it.

[Season 7 ~ Week 2 ~ Battlezone]

The difficulty ramping needed to be tweaked a lot more before this thing hit the shelves.

I'm 99.9% sure they didnt care about THAT.

[Season 7 ~ Week 2 ~ Battlezone]

So what is the explosion routine we see exactly? Are we seeing "into" the game like Yars' Revenge safe zone?

[Season 7 ~ Week 2 ~ Battlezone]

Updated Bonus S&S score

That's a 9 not a 3

[Season 7 ~ Week 2 ~ Battlezone]

I notice the enemy AI starts getting cheap around 20,000 pts
