Patch #20 was on my "impossible" list. Never give up!

it took a ton of practice and a bit of luck, but here it is, at long last!

Awesome!! You got waaay better patience than me on Kaboom. I was cursing like a drunken sailor and actually crushed the paddle controller with my hand I was pissed. :lol: I think that matches your patch count total from last year.

I found them both fun, but frustratingly tough at first. They are not for casual gaming, you need undivided attention. After hours and hours of gameplay, subtle patterns and strategies surface. Don't know if I'll play either one until next year, but I expect the patches to be slightly easier next time...

Got some more to add tonight for this year. None of these are my best-all time (except maybe that Starmaster game 1 score), but nice to see I still have some reflexes here late in middle-age.

I just saw this today so I'm a little behind the curve! Once I did, I quickly played Laser Blast to get past the first patch level. Laser Blast was the first non-Atari made game I got for my VCS. It was also only one of two that I earned a patch for, the other being Dragster (I didn't have a camera back then so I never got the patch). So I'm not certain I'll be able to earn any other patches here. We'll see...!


I did this using Stella, but I still have my original cartridge I bought in the early eighties!
