Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It was a really great week for gaming this past week, with quite a bit of time logged playing games from the 16-bit era. All the Super Nintendo games were played on the Super Nintendo Classic Edition, but I did score a real physical copy of Virtua Racing for the Genesis this past week and have had a ton of fun playing it! I also picked up a brand new in box Genesis Megafire controller, which made controlling Virtua Racing smooth as silk. Sega 32X Virtua Racing Deluxe - 7 minutes Sega Genesis Virtua Racing - 257 minutes Super Nintendo (Played on Super Nintendo Classic Edition) Contra III: The Alien Wars - 59 minutes Star Fox - 195 minutes Star Fox 2 - 56 minutes Super Castlevania IV - 219 minutes Super Mario Kart - 26 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week 819 minutes (13 hours 39 minutes) [819 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week Super Nintendo: 555 minutes Sega Genesis: 257 minutes Sega 32X: 7 minutes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Here's the summary for Week 45, running from November 4 - 10. We logged 3855 minutes of eligible play, playing 47 games on a total of 16 systems. Top 10: 1. Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (Mac OS Classic) - 300 min. 2. Virtua Racing (Genesis) - 257 min. 3. Legend of Zelda, The (NES/Famicom) - 241 min. 4. Tunnels of Doom [Quest of the King] (TI-99/4A) - 240 min. 5. Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - 219 min. 6. Star Fox [aka Starwing] (SNES) - 195 min. 7. Polaris (Atari 2600) - 187 min. 8. Ultimate Doom, The (PC (DOS)) - 165 min. 9. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 163 min. 10. Mad Marvin's Great Escape (TI-99/4A) - 150 min. Pre-NES top 10: 1. Tunnels of Doom [Quest of the King] (TI-99/4A) - 240 min. 2. Polaris (Atari 2600) - 187 min. 3. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 163 min. 4. Mad Marvin's Great Escape (TI-99/4A) - 150 min. 5. Par Fore! (TI-99/4A) - 120 min. 6. Wizard's Doom (TI-99/4A) - 100 min. 7. Turmoil (TI-99/4A) - 90 min. 8. Dig Dug (Arcade) - 82 min. 9. SteamRoller (ColecoVision) - 74 min. 10. Centipede (Atari 2600) - 65 min. Top 10 systems: 1. TI-99/4A (875) 2. Mac OS Classic (600) 3. SNES (555) 4. Atari 2600 (488) 5. Genesis (257) 6. NES/Famicom (241) 7. PC (DOS) (190) 8. Game Boy (172) 9. N64 (135) 10. ColecoVision (129) As the result of some catching up, which is perfectly fine, we have Chuck Yeager taking the title this week, though Virtua Racing is not far behind with The Legend of Zelda and Tunnels of Doom following, the latter being the most played pre-NES game. Though there is no Kaboom! this week, we have at least two more Dooms, and the TI-99/4A takes the systems title much thanks to its two Dooms. Our two new entries to the 1000 Minute Club is #388 Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (Mac OS Classic) with 1250 mins, and #389 Super Castlevania IV (SNES) with 1030 mins. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Atari 8-bit: Action Quest - 10 min. Phantom - 15 min. Witching Hour, The - 12 min. It feels a little old playing spooky themed games 2.5 weeks after Halloween, but it was the end of this round with a new one coming up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Here are my times for this past week (November 11th through 17th, 2019)... Arcade: Kicker - 26 minutes Atari 7800: Baby Pac-Man - 10 min. Commodore 64: Crystals of Zong - 11 minutes I only played three games this week because it was rather busy at work and at the dentist (where I didn't play in the waiting room)... I replayed three games I've played earlier, Kicker, Baby Pac-Man and Crystals of Zong. In Kicker, I survived the 1st set of levels on the 2nd attempt, in Baby Pac-Man I reached the 3rd maze despite only a few power pellets earned, and in Crystals of Zong my game ended in the first Mummy level. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Nothing for me this past week, sadly. Maybe I've got a bit of Bart burnout? I'll be back in the game for this coming week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, wongojack said: Colecovision Buck Rogers Super Game 9 I'm not sure how to categorize this one. I found it is an ADAM version of the regular Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom but since the ADAM is a spiced up ColecoVision we never listed ADAM games separately, which means I'll probably list it as a ColecoVision title, not sure if it is playable on a real ColecoVision console. You played it on the Phoenix which obviously handles ADAM as well. Edit: Ok, I found several other Super Games already inserted into the tracker so I'll treat this one the same.

Yeah, it is a Colecovision game. It requires the SGM which is true for a bunch of Coleco homebrews now: http://www.teampixelboy.com/buck_rogers_sg.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B.

carlsson Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Here's the summary for Week 46, running from November 11 - 17.

NES/Famicom (20) Adamantyr's RPG for the TI computer which has been in the works for nearly 10 years seems to be near completion, and fittingly grabs two out of three titles this week and gives the 2600 a challenge for the systems title. No new entries to the 1000 Minute Club or anything otherwise spectacular that I observed, so happy gaming until next week! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
