+atari2600land Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 While week 1 is still going, it's never too early to think about week #2. So, what game would you like to play for it? I'm open to any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Goldeneye, best times on 00 Agent difficulty. I'd say pick two or three levels, probably the Dam, Bunker 1 or 2, Aztec, and one other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Good choice....I second it. It's harder thinking of games to play for the N64 HSC.......with most games having the lack of a dedicated scoring mechanism. Plus, it doesn't seem that many are playing. I might have been the only one to play Robotron for longer than 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCalvin Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) How about a fastest time on a Mario Kart lap/track/circuit? I would have played this week but sorry, no robotron cart.

+atari2600land Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 I also played Robotron competitively, but alas couldn't beat my first posted score. So I guess it'll be Goldeneye, what shadow460 suggested. I am unfamiliar with the game, so how does best time on Agent 00 difficulty on the first level sound? (so people like me can jump right in and start playing it without having to worry about having a level be unlocked.) For week 3, I'll start polls. Two choices I have for week 3's poll include Mario Kart 64 (best time on Luigi Circuit) and Asteroids Hyper 64, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

shadow460 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Perhaps we should run the first five levels of the 00 Agent setting, then. I was thinking the Dam and the Facility anyway, which are one and two respectively. Aztec could be a bonus round for those who have mastered the game. Fastest laps are cool, too. We could try stuff like fastest lap at Klies Bridge in wipEout 64 (common cart, first track), Qouron IV on the same game, also extreme-G is common and could be used. I'd also suggest Mickey's Speedway USA, as this can be affected for those who own a Transfer Pak and the Color Game Boy cart. Both versions of the game are rare, though. Don't the Tetris titles have scoring? If a game lacks scoring, then we could see who gets the furthest without dying. Once again, Goldeneye would be ideal for this...see who gets the furthest on 00 Agent before they die the first time (it WILL happen). Other ideas: StarCraft 64: Fastest completion of a given mission. StarFox 64: Highest mission before Fox's ships are all lost. KI Gold: Longest winning streak on medium difficulty against the AI. Best scores and largest spread in any sports game. Highest scores in Zelda mini games. I'd recommend longest run without dying, but I can make it through Ocarina on a single life and I'm sure others can as well. Best lap, race or circuit time in any racing game. Best score in Perfect Dark's shooting range. Pick several events. Longest winning streaks in Pokemon Stadium, best times or scores in mini games.

PressureCooker2600 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yea...add Perfect Dark into the mix, too. And fastest laps for the different racing games are good. I'll get started on Goldeneye tonight.....and hopefully someone else will continue to compete in Robotron. As I remember, we were competing on default settings.

+remowilliams Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Plus, it doesn't seem that many are playing. I even fit the old N64 with a sweet new SD upgrade and everything, but too much modern gaming excellence going on right at the moment.

+remowilliams Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 holy shit what the hell is that? That is a Mr Backup Z64 unit. Except now it's been modified with a special BIOS and an SD card reader, so the zip drive is no longer necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will stick to collecting carts. Plus I always hated zip disks (I can still remember the "click of death" on both of my old zip drives). The modded unit you have looks really cool.

As for the zip disks/drives they were always pretty good to me. But you can't beat an SD card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
