Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It's been a crazy busy and hectic day here today so I didn't have time to take any pictures or do a proper write up for the week, but here's a quick copy/paste from my tablet of my household's gaming activities for the week and hopefully I'll be able to do my usual picture and write up tomorrow: Ineligible --------------- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo Wii) - 395 minutes Link's Crossbow Training (Nintendo Wii) - 70 minutes Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (Nintendo 3DS) - 13 minutes Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Nintendo Wii) - 179 minutes Sonic Generations (Nintendo 3DS) - 11 minutes StreetPass Mii Plaza (Nintendo 3DS) - 74 minutes Atari 2600 ---------------- Battlezone - 14 minutes Breakout - 17 minutes Atari 7800 (Emulated on Nintendo Wii) ------------------------------------------------------------- Centipede - 220 minutes Commando - 7 minutes Donkey Kong - 11 minutes Moon Cresta - 136 minutes Ms. Pac-Man - 34 minutes Pac-Man Collection! - 29 minutes Robotron 2084 - 8 minutes Xevious - 24 minutes PC-DOS (Emulated on Nintendo Wii) --------------------------------------------------------- The Ultimate Doom - 113 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week -------------------------------------------------------------- 1,355 minutes (22 hours 35 minutes) [613 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week ---------------------------------------------------------------- Nintendo Wii: 644 minutes Atari 7800: 469 minutes PC-DOS: 113 minutes Nintendo 3DS: 98 minutes Atari 2600: 31 minutes 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Here's the summary for Week 39, running from September 25 - October 1. We logged 2706 minutes of eligible play, playing 44 games on a total of 13 systems. Top 10: 1. Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 (Dreamcast) - 300 2. Star Voyager (NES/Famicom) - 282 3. Centipede (Atari 7800) - 230 4. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 169 5. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 147 6. Moon Cresta (Atari 7800) - 136 7. Jajamaru Gekimaden: Maboroshi no Kinmajou (NES/Famicom) - 115 8. Ultimate Doom, The (PC (DOS)) - 113 9. Breakout (Atari 2600) - 104 10. Pengo (Atari 2600) - 80 Pre-NES top 10: 1. Centipede (Atari 7800) - 230 2. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 169 3.

Atari Jaguar (121) 7. PC (DOS) (113) 8. Neo Geo AES/MVS (87) 9. Sega CD (75) 10. C64 (24) Another week with a Phantasy Star franchise game on top?! It seems Sega's RPG franchise is determined to hang on to the top spot one way or another -- while once again we get a "three charts, three platforms" cornucopia. With 1245 minutes logged to date, Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 also reaches the 1000-minute club, as does VCS stalwart Breakout with its 1054 minutes. To them devolves the duty of taking spots #302 and #303 in the 1K+ association. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Atari 8-bit: Gateway to Apshai - 31 min. That's all, plus that I've set up my IBM 6151 RT PC but so far I have no games for it, not even the simplest text based ones. I got to play with a travel agency booking system though, which was almost like a text game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Here are my times for this past week (October 2nd through 8th)... Intellivision: Pac-Man - 84 min. in 2 sessions Interton VC 4000: Monster Man - 16 min. Non-Eligible: Stockstream - 570 min. in 8 sessions Twitchplayscrypto - 216 min. in 2 sessions Rubik's Cube - 24 min. The two only classic games I played this weeks were two more Pac-Man variants.... Pac-Man for the Intellivision has the maze size reduced due to the low background resolution. To make up for that, in the first rounds the ghosts start off a bit slower than the player. There's still some eye candy, notably the 3-color (!) fruits which are pretty recognizable (more so than on the Atari 8-bit and C-64 versions!), and also the intermissions are there, although the 2nd one comes after round 6 instead of round 5, and their melody oddly has the same transcription errors as in Dintari's Atari 2600 version. Monter Maze for the Interton VC 4000 is a bit farther away from Pac-Man. Notably, because of display and memory constraints, there are no dots to eat, only one fruit which changes location after being eaten. This cartridge was changed into another game, "Come Come" or "Come Fruta" which looks more like Pac-Man, but I couldn't get that one to run properly. Still I could see it's obviously based on Monster Maze (or vice-versa). Other than that, I only played Stockstream and Twitchplayscrypto which is a similar "game" to Stockstream, only that you trade with cryptocurrencies instead of stocks and that it isn't quite as complex and evolved. I've (sadly) put several hours into this, but I'll try to reduce it next week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantgames:) Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Well this week saw the addition of a console Ive wanted for some time into my collection - The mighty Vectrex!!! So naturally I got a good bit of time played on it. I also found time to try a O2/Videopac homebrew I got awhile back and a bit of Sega CD. And on a non qualifying note I got a couple new PS4 games and a PSVR game called VROG So overall its been a pretty great gaming week for me Now on to my times....O2/Videopac Astrododge - 45min Sega CD Android Assualt - 30min Vectrex Bedlam - 15minBerzerk - 50minBlitz! - 10minCosmic Chasm - 85minClean Sweep - 145minFortress of Narzod - 40minHyper Chase - 10minMinestorm - 235minRip Off - 5minStar Trek - 35minWeb Wars - 30min 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 My times for the week: NES: Jajamaru Gekimaden: Maboroshi no Kinmajou - 32 min. SNES: Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme: Skiing & Snowboarding - 285 min. Wayne's World - 188 min. Beat Wayne's World, party time, not so excellent. Thoughts on that, plus the previous two games I beat, here. Otherwise I plugged away a bit more at the fan-translated action RPG I started last week, and got most of the way through Freeride mode in a way-too-fast-for-its-own-good snowboarding game. (My SNES is still on pause, waiting...) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltigro Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Played some stuff this week! Jaguar - Raiden (15 min) Love Raiden games even though I'm terrible at them. No rapid fire makes this one more challenging. They should have had something where you could press one of the keypad numbers for rapid fire or something. Dreamcast - Sega Rally 2 (74 min) Finally got another racing game for the Dreamcast. This one controls much better than Sega GT, but I'm still not that good at it. Can't get past the second track in Arcade mode. Run out of time at about the same place every time with the checkpoint not even in sight. Found no advice or anything online... just gotta "git gud" I guess. Ineligible XBoxOne - Forza 6 (172 min) I did one of the endurance races. Eighty-two laps at just over 2 minutes a piece. Also played a bit of pinball over the weekend... I mean, a really small amount. There was one set up at Retropalooza in one of the booths (it was a booth advertising a pinball show or auction or something) and I played the left flipper while my gf played the right flipper for one ball. Don't remember the name, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Due to some unforseen medical circumstances making me feel too craptacular to do anything productive today it's going to be another week of copying and pasting my household's gaming time from my tablet without any picture or writeup. On the plus side, the vast majority of my household's gaming time for the week was tracker eligible this time around! Hopefully at some point this week I'll get feeling better and can elaborate on that with some pictures and a proper writeup to cover the last two weeks of gaming around here. Until then...

BurritoBeans Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) PC-88 Shiryou Sensen: War of the Dead - 330 minutes Shiryou Sensen 2: War of the Dead Part 2 - 250 minutes ZX81 3D Monster Maze - 45 minutes So, this week was three of the classic horror games. PC88 takes my most played with the Shiryou Sensen games, as well they're longer than 3D Monster Maze. I played these two in order, and I really don't have much to say - I wrote a massive post forever ago detailing what I like, didn't like, etc. so I don't feel like doing it again. One thing I will say that I really enjoyed was having a save mechanisim - I almost wanted to quit last time I played these as in the PC Engine port of 1 there's no save feature, instead there's a 54 character password. 54 characters, mixed Japanese and English, etc. is just way too long and combined with the "9999EXP = Level 0" glitch it made it a pain in the ass if I didn't pay attention at all times. For once, I can say that I really enjoyed using floppies over the cartridges anyways so that's neat. 3D Monster Maze is always a favorite of mine to pick up and mess with. If you don't know it, there's a "3D Maze" of sorts that you have to navigate while avoiding a dinosaur that's coming after you - it's damn primitive and not really that scary, but it is considered a very early horror game as it was from 1981 - Shiryou Sensen, being considered one of the original survival horror games, is 1987 anyways so you can see that there's a little gap and yet still a similar theme of trying to live through something while being chased by monsters. If you've never played it, I'd say give it a shot - I find it to be enjoyable anyways. So yeah, nothing exciting but whatever. The plan for this week is to play through Sweet Home (which I started yesterday and should be done with soon) and then on Saturday some friends and I are going to the arcade to see if we can get through Beast Busters and Beast Busters: Second Nightmare in the same day - it should be doable, but I've never actually seen the end of either in my time so far - usually I get halfway and quit - so it should be good fun. I would like to be playing more games, but eh... friends and I have been playing a ton of GTA Online recently grinding out money to get cars and the new stuff from updates so I just haven't been paying as much attention to the older titles as I planned I would - doesn't matter too much to me though, as hey I'm still getting through a few games and I can't be mad with that.

The sad part of this week is that I would have had the opportunity to play some on my original C64, which is hooked up and ready at my parents' house. But... no time, no joystick. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
