Yeah, it's kind of like keeping a gaming journal, and can lead to some interesting insights. It's amazing how weird my sense of time can be -- I find out a game I thought I played a year or two ago, I actually beat a decade ago. (And once in a while, the opposite happens!) Just the other day I thought I remembered that it took me 6+ hours to beat a game in a single sitting -- but nope, it was only about 4. Is that important? Dunno, but it was interesting to me.

Congratulations! I didn't make a new post for it but I did update the first post a little while ago. Really pleased to see you reach the finish line with the PCE/SFC-specific part of the project.

All I could find is this video, but the comments seem to suggest it's a fake: Certainly "Part 69" -- with no Parts 1-68 on the channel, and only one other video from this uploader at all -- raises a red flag.

Intellivision Ebay Roundup
thegoldenband replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I've got some Odyssey² games I'd like to pick up as well, and I'd potentially be interested in loose 5200 carts (even commons, since right now I only have one game for the system!). -
One thing I'm trying to remember is how I was serving aces (something that often marks a sea change when playing any tennis game -- free points are free points). I came to use a quick double-tap motion when serving, hitting the ball on the way up since it's easier than timing the descent, but I can't remember whether I tweaked that to hit aces or if I had to learn a more traditional timing. Also, I'm sure you know this, but remember that you have to win two matches to clear a level, and the second is one tier up in difficulty except for Level 5. If you're playing two matches on Level 4 and almost winning the second, you'll soon have what you need to clear Level 5!

A couple completed projects to note, as VideoGameSage successfully completed their 2023 effort to beat the Nintendo 64 library (North American & PAL regions). Meanwhile RndStranger also completed his Epoch Cassette Vision and Super Cassette Vision review sets, in addition to the epic Famidaily project he completed in November 2023. He's now starting on his Famicom Disk System project, The Year of FDS. Finally I added Thabeast721 to the YouTube section. Though mainly a Twitch streamer, he's also been doing some nice reviews of the N64 games he beats, using his VODs with voiceover narration.
