Super Cobra: 7180
Planet Patrol: 5460
Exocet: 1210
Sorcerer: 1890
I liked Planet Patrol the best of all of these. Aiming shots for proper collision detection was a little iffy, but on the whole, I think it was the best game of the bunch. It is akin to how I prefer to smell horse dung to that of other animal dung. I mean, it's dung, but it's kind of wholesome.

Fast Food: 999
Fast Eddie: 21050
I love the interlude between levels in Fast Food: "You're getting Fatter."
Fast Eddie is fun. Once I wrapped around to collecting hearts again, it got significantly more difficult. I didn't make it past that level.
Edited to post the death screen. I screen capped it twice. Once at the death screen, once at the reset with my score. I figured the death screen was the most worthy "evidence" of my success.

There is a can of Spinach on each level.
Stage 1 : Left hand side of screen it moves up between level 2 and 3
Stage 2 : Right hand side on the very bottom of the screen
Stage 3 : Again on the very bottom of the screen but cycles to left and right
You couldnt have Popeye without Spinach!
Oh! I thought that dot was a warning of pending fireballs. Gee whiz now I'm going for it to get my spinach. How do you get the spinach on stage 2? I fall on the trampoline and then get bounced up.

Jawbreaker: 10,150
Tooth Protectors: 49,100
Plaque Attack 16,920
I don't follow new game releases much, but I don't see tooth care as a theme in modern games. Back in the day when video games were often seen as frivolous, I think there was an interest in using games as educational propaganda. I think back to playing Apple 2 games in my grade school classroom. There were math games that were little more than math quizzes with video and audio feedback to reward you for getting an answer correct. I recall a typing tutor that let you shoot down letters when you hit the right key. Not to mention the Where in the world/USA/Galaxy is Carmen SanDiego games. Generally the edu-tainment was junk. I wanted to blow stuff up, slay dragons, and get my wagon to Oregon before the party starved. If I developed skills along the way, then that was icing on the cake.
I enjoyed playing all three of these games. It's frustrating (in a fun way) when the Jawbreakers double back on me, and I try to get to the gap in the wall, only to get nailed by one coming on the next tier!

Dragster: 7.18
Skiing: 33.50
Enduro: 420.2
I dislike all these games. But in the spirit of the contest, I played until I could place in above last place in all of them (as of the time I post this). I replayed Skiing until I could actually finish game 5 without missing or hitting a flag. Endure is the best of the three, and the graphics are lovely. As far as racing games go, it is a well made game.

Wanna share those?
I'd hate to get banned or suspended.

Talking with CPUWIZ about 256k carts. What can we do in bB?
in batari Basic
Posted
It's been a long time since I tinkered with bB, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. What about a long, chill platformer akin to Knytt? 256k could hold a ton of room data and unique puzzles. Here's an example of gameplay:
