  1. 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.
  2. Your picture there is the closest I'll come to seeing the ending screen of Rambo, so thanks for that!
  3. 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.
  4. 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. Totals @wongojack 448,000 (+1) @BydoEmpire 149,000 (+1)
  5. 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.

      See if your cats respond positively to this VHS rip of "Cat Sitter", a tape made 20+ years ago that's specifically intended to be viewed by cats! (Also I love the very unique anti-piracy message at the start of the tape.)

      My real question here is do cats look at all those mice in the footage the way a human looks at a Taco Bell commercial?

  6. A bit better, finally made it to round 2: 27,750
  7. I got pretty good at Rambo III in a previous round, but it's a game that relies heavily on memorization and I've forgotten it all. Still fun, I need to play some more.
  8. Hah, when I posted this round I kept thinking of Rocky quotes as well.
  9. It's been a while, and I've never been that good at it, but just getting on the board: 18,350 I did play Rambo III, but picture on my phone - I'll upload later.
  10. Someone at work shared a picture of their cat which had a star-shaped mark on his face. I mentioned that it looked like he was dressed up as Ace Frehley ... the person said they didn't know who that was and had to google it. Yep, getting older...

      Maybe they didn't know because Paul Stanley is the Starchild.

      haha, wow, I guess so! I'm not really a Kiss fan, but I probably should have remembered that. Peter Criss was the cat guy and Gene Simmons is the demon... not sure how I mixed up Paul & Ace.

      Of course,  you could look at Any cat,  and say Looks like Peter Criss,  and get the usual blank stare from some younger folks (haaa)...

  11. Come join the Sega Master System High Score club. The next round starts Monday, with the theme of Rambo!  Play Rambo: First Blood Part 2 and the light gun game Rambo III.

     

     

  12. This round features games we've played before, but worth revisiting. One of the best earlier SMS titles - Rambo: First Blood Part 2. I like the game a lot, but I've never made it past the second level, so maybe this is the year! This round runs March 11 - March 24 For one bonus point, play the light gun game Rambo III.

  13. Slightly better, I can get to the second stage quite consistently. 17,400 Played a bit of Bruce Lee, too. I loved it on the c64, but it's been so long I don't remember anything other than get the lanterns.
  14. I turned the Celtics/Warriors game back on to see if it got any closer in the second half... nope. Boston up by 53 points. Live by the 3, die by the 3 I guess.

  15. A little bit better, made it to the second level. The game grows on you! 15,400
  16. After a nice hiatus, we've started up the Sega Master System High Score Club for a Spring round. Come join the fun!

     

  17. That's the one! I didn't realize it was a homebrew, I was just in my list of roms and i was looking arond for a bonus game.
  18. A game I've never played (that I can remember, it looks vaguely familiar, maybe I tried the rom at some point). I checked it out briefly, seems kind of like a ninja-themed Rambo. Nothing wrong with that. This round runs February 26 - March 10. For a bonus point, play a port of the c64 classic Bruce Lee.

  19. Due to popular demand we'll start this up again. Let me know if there are games you want play! Usual rules apply - be sure to read the difficulty or settings to play on, no continues or save states, please post screenshots if at all possible. I'm going to try something different with the scoring, only counting the top 5 scores (5 points to the top score, 4 to the next, etc.). Bonus game will usually be one point just for trying it.
