What have you actually PLAYED tracker for 2014 (Season 7)

[karokoenig]

Only one game this week:

SMURF - Rescue in Gargamel's Castle: 16 minutes

 

Played the game to fiddle around with the difficulty settings and test which one would be most suited for the TOURNAMENT I have started:

Tennis - 11 min.

RCA Studio II:

Blackjack - 4 min.

Bowling - 38 min.

The choice of systems for this week did not lie in newly acquired games, but two newly acquired 14" TV's, so the goal was to bring out some of the older consoles with RF out, the older the better as even CRT's tend to have issues with the earliest generation video games. To make matters worse, I dropped one of the two TV's into the floor but apart from cracks in the plastic and the sound of something loose inside, it appears to still be fully working... One of the two TV's, a early 90's Philips even had remarkably clear picture when connected to my Conic M1200 (Studio II clone in colour), something I rarely see on "newer" CRT screens.

Here are my times for this past week (November 24th through 30st)...

 

sorry, I didn't play any games this week. There's still much to do at work which let me come home a bit later than normal at times, also I had another eye examination at the General Hospital, and much time was taken up by lengthy conversations per e-mail with a new customer for my Karaoke CD+G authoring software ClearSwipe. Hence no time (and really no desire either) for gaming.

ATARI 2600:

Pac-Man 4K - 15 minutes

 

ATARI 7800:

Had alot of extra time due to Thanksgiving so got alot of gaming in

 

Win 95/98 -

 

Battleship Surface Thunder - 165min

This game has 2 modes:

•Regular Battleship in 3D - 15min

This mode is pretty cool as it has local 2player for me and the old lady to battle each other

•Arcade Story Mode - 150min

Story mode is a fairly simple arcadey ship combat game that has nothing to do with the original battleship game except it has warships in it lol, missions become repetitive but it's a fun enough game for the $0.50 it cost me

 

Diablo II - 795min

Finally reacquired a copy of Diablo 2 now to actually beat it (i think i made it to the last act back in the day iirc)

 

Harbinger - 20min

 

Òdi•um (Gorky 17 in Europe) - 85min

Turkey Day brings us some of our biggest gameplay numbers in a while! And with six different systems in the top 6, we get plenty of diversity too.

Speaking of "too", in the end it's the Windows RPG Diablo II that claims the top spot, while its closest competitor Pac-Man Collection edges out Kaboom on the pre-NES charts.

[Kurt_Woloch]

Sorry, but I have to report another week without gaming (December 1st through 7th). I've got much to do at my workplace, and I've also been swamped with things to do in my spare time, so somehow seriousness has set in, and unimportant things like gaming fall by the wayside. The closest thing to gaming I did was trying to convert "Tom's diner" by Suzanne Vega to LPC for play on the TI-99 and watching a video of the same song performed by a C-64, as well as playing around with the TI-99 sound list ripper a bit, trying to extract the sound lists from Q*Bert, but unable to find them.
