Kurt_Woloch Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Sorry, I just noticed that I forgot to post my times for last week (from June 8th through June 14th). Here they are: Amidar (Arcade)... 29 minutes (HSC game) Panky the Panda (2600)... 2 minutes Strip-Off (2600)... 2 minutes Cosmic Guerilla Mockup by Cybergoth (2600)... 2 minutes Cosmic Guerilla Mockup by vdub_bobby (2600)... 3 minutes Rip Off (Arcade)... 3 minutes Cosmic Guerilla (Arcade)... 6 minutes The last 5 were all inspired by the new homebrew "Strip-Off" which was posted by Neuronic. It looks very much like Cosmic Guerilla, although he actually intended to do a port of "Rip Off", but then started to change around game elements. That's why, after playing his version, I went to compare it to the two other mock-ups of Cosmic Guerilla that have been posted by Cybergoth and vdub_bobby some years ago, as well as the original arcade version and the original version of "Rip off". Other than that, I played more "modern" games which are beyond the scope of this thread... Restaurant City (Facebook), Kapiland, Illegal parking (Facebook) and Level R.

You crack me up with some of the most obscure games that you come up with to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Donkey Kong Country 4 (NES) - 5 minutesSuper Mario World (NES) - 30 minutes Aren't these both SNES games? That makes them ineligible for this Top Ten (although I'm still interested in what people are playing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Let me know if "Arcade" and "MAME" should be consolidated or remain separate... I'm combining them for tracking purposes but you can list them either way. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Here are my times for this week (15th through 21th of June): Road Blasters (Arcade)... 224 minutes in 2 sessions (actually, I don't know if this qualifies for this thread... it was the Arcade/MAME HSC game, but, like Super Qix, it bears a 1987 copyright date) Universal Chaos (2600)... 33 minutes in 2 sessions (another HSC game) Curse of Blackbeard's skull (2600)... 5 minutes Lunar Leeper (C-64)... 20 minutes Spare Change (C-64)... 80 minutes Spare Change (Atari 8-bit)... 158 minutes in 3 sessions I rediscovered "Lunar Leeper" while I was dusting off my C-64 in order to add some SID tunes to my music collection (I sample them in from the real thing). That was when I came across the disk of "Lunar Leeper". After that, I found "Spare Change", but strangely, the version I have crashes after the 5th or 6th level, so I tried the Atari 8-bit version instead... which seems to be closer to the Apple original (I suppose the Apple II was the original version), and also is much harder than the C-64 one.

mika Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 now, that was a busy week! 2600: Donkey Kong - 1h King Kong - 5 min (jeez...) Popeye - 10 min (without reading the manual, so i didn't know what to do!) Pooyan - 10 min (the same story as with Popeye ) Q-bert - 10 min Crystal Castles - 10 min Pitfall II - 5 min (i intended to give it a proper session, but i was having problems with simplest obstacles, so i switched off to avoid frustration. But still, this is one of the best - if not THE best - games for the system) Pygmy (Quelle release of Lock'n'Chase) - 20 min Rampage - 30 min (i love this game, and one day i am going to sit to get a proper score ) Road Runner - 30 min (beep-beep!) and my game of the week, in my opinion one of the most underrated games for 2600: Porky - 4 hours (and i've managed to find a way through that first highway screen straight to the scaffolding!)
