  1. 9520- Kinda gettin it, think I need more patience. I'm cramming a few games after work, and a few after work-work, before bed....work.
  2. All i'm sayin is how often do you pop a "new" game in, and know, it was once a different, "new" game?
  3. I often thought about that myself, I've purchased 4 or 5 hacks, homebrews, and the unreal Harmony cart. Always wondered what they started life as. Glad to see them live on, rather than hit the landfill. What goes around, comes around, again and again.
  4. I got to play a game or two after work tonight, I can see rolling this. My question is, about how long does it take to hit 100,000, or better? An hour or two? More, less?
  5. 33872-I really liked this one. It was tricky to get a useable score shot though. My phone kept picking up black, diagonal, scan lines? Oh well, off to fight the DEMONS!!
  6. So, I just took a break after my second pig on OINK, to see what next weeks game was, and how the scores were stacking on OINK. After seeing the first page of posts on this one, i'm either stoked, I might roll one, OR what I really think, SUNK before I even dig the cart out!!!! YOU RETRO GAMERS ROCK!!!!!!!!! I really wasn't good at any of this back "in the day". I was 6ish. But really dig the challenge today, at 35. I never played for score, always next level/better than my bud. REALLY like the challenge of playing with you ROCK STARS!!! !!GAME-ON, ROLL THIS THING!!
  7. Been busy getting my butt kicked in 2600HSC, so I took last week off and played PR all week. After a fair amount of gaming, I LOVE IT!!! It just keeps getting better!!! The one thing I was wondering was if there are any "hidden" warp zones? I don't want to know were, just if it's something to look for? GREAT JOB CHRIS!!!!!!
  8. Mine is the one on the bottom with the fiber "O" from breakfast stuck to it..
  9. It definitely has forced me to play and, stick with a few games that I otherwise would have popped in to check out, not "get", and put back in the collection without a fair shake. Some of the titles just don't fit the actual gameplay at all. This one is simple to "get", fun to play, and challenging to master. The perfect ATARI formula for success, wonder where those Activision boys got their start???? :-D
  10. My kid was playing my console earlier today. When I just turned on the TV, the screen was black, moved joystick left and right, the screen woke up with the last game and score still there, and active. (he had a killer 48 points racked up, and one pig left, I played the last pig to 11500ish, he's 5, so not bad) I would say just don't hit reset, or select, and the score should still be there. Hope it helps. Not sure how it would work on Stella though?? I think COMMANDO RAID worked this way also, scared the hell out of me when I went to get the phone, and came back to a black screen. But a giggle of the joystick, and you should be good to go. GREAT SCORES ALL!!!!!! THE BAR IS VERY HIGH THIS SEASON!!!!! Anyone know the Twin Galaxies records on this one, since they changed format I can't find them anymore.
  11. My first try at this game was on monday night, I got 936, I wrote it on my HSC notepad thats how I remember that far back. I didn't take a pic because the lowest posted score at the time was well above, figured I could beat it anyway, my score that is. Gave it a good honest hour tonight, the best I could do was a lousy 51 points dying on the first maze every time, on time with the key in hand. Obviously, I'm the real stinker here. I hope to improve a slight bit if possible, but if I can't by tomorrow night, THIS IS IT. Vocelli take your pick on which score to use as I don't think it matters. I can prove my 51 with a pic, and will take one of any improvement.
  12. :_( This is not for me, never cared for any map/collect/maze games :? . I understand the challenge, I just don't have the patients to stick with it. I'll get a score up tonight, but it will be my only one ;-) ! This shows another great benefit of the HARMONY cart though, I would have been bummed if busted my butt to find this cart, only to find out it was a real stinker. A stinker in my opinion, reading the thread, it sounds like most are stoked about it, COOL, HAVE FUN :D , I'm gonna break in my Princes Rescue cart this week, REALLY GOOD if you liked the original SMB.
  13. Bowling, game 2 B/B, my son and I love this one, 229-246=475 Pac-Man, game 1 B/B, getting started at, 3243 Donkey-Kong, game 1 B/B, starting with a personal best, 36200 And for the bonus points, My dream girl?? This
  14. If I had/have enough time I could def get this one to roll, I've gotten close playing just for fun in the past. But the games you rockstars rolled the last three weeks :-o The bar is high this season!!!
  15. 32460 Game 1, B/B. I'm on the board at least. I fell asleep in the recliner last night, and woke up at 1:38am, to late to post my record shattering Space Invaders score of 0750. Great scores!!!!
  16. No pressure, I just want to stay in the loop. Don't think the rom's out yet, but PRINCES RESCUE rocks, just got mine today, SWEET!!
  17. Just did a quick test run, Sprybug, you knocked it out of the park. I just had x-mas, "87" flashbacks big time. JOB VERY WELL DONE, Look forward to more!!! One last note, I ordered tues, around 5p.m. est., and I'm playing it right now 4p.m. est. sat. That must be a well oiled machine you run there at the "AA" store. I always place my orders with confidence, But WOW, just WOW thats fast. Tex- Penna. in 93hr. BIG THANKS, Will definitely rate after I get some game time in.
  18. Lid, you lucky gamer, getting to be a "tester" and getting props in the manual. My loose cart and manual just showed up!!!! GAME-ON ;-)
  19. So are we playing Colony7? I didn't see a new thread posted yet. I'll give it a try if we do, I think I have that on my Harmony, no instructions though.
