Kurt_Woloch Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Here are my times for this past week (August 17th through 23rd) on classic systems... sorry, no gaming at all this week. It's still summer, and my weeks off work are over, so between a bit of swimming and helping my father handle his new smart phone, there wasn't much time left for gaming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 My times for the week: Atari 2600: Motocross Racer - 13 min. NES: Final Fantasy II - 2 min. Master System: Phantasy Star - 494 min. Getting there in Phantasy Star. I've glanced at a walkthrough now and then -- mainly to confirm whatever I'm already doing is the thing I should be doing -- but I'm making all my own maps, though I've been able to navigate several dungeons without a map. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltigro Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Okay, first, let me say, I'm sorry. I only streamed one day last week, Tuesday, and I did a thing where I went through a bunch of games and only played for 1 life. So I ended up playing a LOT of games for very little time each. But anyway, here's the list. I'll pass on commenting for most of them because it's just too much. But hey, at least they're in alphabetical order! NES 1942 - 5 min 1943 - 34 min Abadox - 4 min Adventure Island - 4 min Alpha Mission - 2 min Amagon - 3 min Balloon Fight - 3 min Batman - 2 min Battletoads - 8 min Battletoads & Double Dragon - 6 min Bionic Commando - 3 min Blaster Master - 19 min Bomberman - 10 min Bomberman 2 - 10 min Bonk's Adventure - 17 min (I'm much better at the TurboGrafx version...) BreakThru - 6 min Bubble Bobble - 3 min Bucky O'Hare - 8 min BurgerTime - 5 min (I suck at BurgerTime, always have, but I was having controller issues, too, so I actually played for two lives.) Castlevania - 20 min (I'm pretty decent at Castlevania... until I get to Death's stage...) Castlevania 2 - 18 min Castlevania 3 - 10 min Chip and Dale - 8 min Chip and Dale 2 - 5 min CluClu Land - 3 min Code Name Viper - 3 min Contra - 2 min Cool World - 6 min (Had NO idea what I was doing on this game.) Cybernoid - 2 min Defender II - 1 min (I've always been terrible at Defender, too...) Demon Sword - 2 min Dig Dug - 5 min (Did pretty decent at Dig Dug... love the arcade... but I knew the level I would die on and on the vid I even say, "This is where it gets hard." and then I died.) Donkey Kong - 2 min Double Dragon - 7 min Double Dragon 2 - 7 min Dr Mario - 36 min (I finally just said screw it on this one and let the pills pile up.) Dragon Spirit - 15 min (Turbo fire REALLY helps with this game) Duck Tales - 2 min Duck Tales 2 - 4 min ExciteBike - 7 min (Played until I didn't make it to the next race since you don't actually "die" in this...) Exerion - 2 min Fantasy Zone - 4 min Faxanadu - 9 min Galaga - 2 min (Really should have lasted longer on this one...) Gargoyle's Quest II - 7 min Gauntlet - 11 min If you want to see highlights (aka all my deaths) I made a vid. I skipped games like Final Fantasy since it would have taken far too long to die in those... probably. And some of these games I had never played before and didn't even know the controls before trying them out. I'll do another at some point... starting up at Gauntlet II, but not for a couple weeks or so. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 ^^ Nice one! Actually about 7 of those games were not previously in the tracker so you filled out the NES section even further (now up to 690 titles). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It was quite a week for gaming around here this past week, with a ton of different games played on a variety of classic systems; and for the first time in quite a while there was no modern gaming at all in my household this week! I started off the week finishing up my play through of Tomb Raider for the Game Boy Color, then did a play through of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the GBC as well and spent a good chunk of time enjoying all the extras after I completed the main game. Next up I got on a bit of a fighting game kick and played through Mortal Kombat II and Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition on the Genesis, and the misses did a couple play throughs of Streets of Rage as well. Not being too sure what to play next I decided to play my old favorite Game Boy shoot 'em up Solar Striker, and somehow managed to set a new HighScore.com world record score of 508,700 in it while just casually playing over lunch. Very cool! Wrapping up the week I played all the current Atari 2600 High Score Club games then did my yearly play through of the SNES masterpiece that is Super Castlevania IV, via the Castlevania Anniversary Collection on the Switch. It was just as fun as ever, though gosh darn I really do need to get a real SNES one of these days. I've got one open slot left for another console in my retro gaming center and just can't seem to make up my mind between a GameCube (which I'd be getting mostly for the Game Boy Player) or a Super Nintendo, and while I know the GameCube would offer the wider variety of gaming options I have always wanted a SNES since I was a kid and have never owned one before. Decisions decisions! ?

Actually about 7 of those games were not previously in the tracker so you filled out the NES section even further (now up to 690 titles). That's about the same size as the official/licensed North American library! Probably a ton of PAL, Famicom, and unlicensed games in there, though -- more than a few of them courtesy of me -- so I'd imagine we have at least 100-150 North American licensed games that have never been tracked. A lot of those would be sports, I'd think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I actually didn't log any classic time this week, and even my modern time was down. The dip is mostly due to me deciding that I wanted to build a 2tb drive full of games for a memory card boot mod that I have running on one of my PS2s. This was a fool's errand as it took me the better part of the week to find all the ISOs, choose the ones I want (that fit under the 2tb limit), unzip the ISOs, and install them onto the HDD. In the end, choosing and unzipping the files was the most time consuming because I had to actually choose about 650 games that I thought I might like to play without wasting time unzipping games that might put me over the size limit. I was also dealing with a 5tb external drive size limit just to do all the prep. I thought installing games would be the longest part, but I actually found someone who had created an old-school batch script that helped make that step non-interactive for me. It still took 7 hours . . . This is the kind of retro-gaming "project" that makes one evaluate the hobby. I joke around all the time that I already own/have enough games to literally last me every minute of life that I have left on this planet. Now after having completed this project, I may have enough games on one HDD alone to last me that long . . . some anecdote about quality over quantity seems to come to mind. I'm not sure why exactly I shared this story in this thread . . . thanks for reading! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Here's the summary for Week 34, running from August 17 - 23. We logged 3309 minutes of eligible play, playing 86 games on a total of 14 systems. Top 10: 1. Phantasy Star (Sega Master System) - 494 min. (#2) 2. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (Game Boy Color) - 316 min. 3. Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - 305 min. 4. Secret Quest (Atari 2600) - 200 min. 5. Rescue Terra I (Atari 2600) - 192 min. (#10) 6. Streets of Rage (Genesis) - 167 min. 7. Adventures of Tron (Atari 2600) - 141 min. 7. Neo Turf Masters (Neo Geo AES/MVS) - 141 min. (#6) 9. King of Fighters '98 (Neo Geo AES/MVS) - 93 min. 10. Solar Striker (Game Boy) - 88 min. Pre-NES top 10: 1. Secret Quest (Atari 2600) - 200 min. 2. Rescue Terra I (Atari 2600) - 192 min. (PN#4) 3. Adventures of Tron (Atari 2600) - 141 min. 4. Qix (Arcade) - 60 min. 5. Kaboom! (Atari 2600) - 56 min. (PN#1) 6. Eggomania (Atari 2600) - 55 min. (PN#6) 7. Espial (Atari 2600) - 46 min. (PN#9) 8. Condor Attack (aka Galactic) (Atari 2600) - 45 min. (PN#2) 9. Squish 'Em (Atari 2600) - 40 min. (PN#8) 10. Solar Fox (Atari 2600) - 34 min. (PN#5) Top 10 systems: 1. Atari 2600 (845) (#1) 2. Sega Master System (494) (#2) 3. Game Boy Color (396) (#3) 4. NES/Famicom (354) (#4) 5. SNES (305) 6. Genesis (271) (#6) 7. Neo Geo AES/MVS (269) (#8) 8. Arcade (120) (#7) 9. Game Boy (104) 10. SuperGrafx (55) Phantasy Star on the SMS sails into overall #1 ahead of two Super games, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the GBC and Super Castlevania IV on the SNES. The pre-NES list is a close battle between Secret Quest and Rescue Terra I, both for the 2600. Except for Qix on the arcade, all other games on the pre-NES top 10 are for the Atari 2600, which is enough for it to retain the title as the most played system, with SMS, GBC and NES remaining in positions 2-4. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (Game Boy Color) becomes member #416 on the 1000 Minute Club with a total of 1003 minutes, which means two GBC games in a row entered the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Actually, I am pretty curious to know if there are any systems with libraries that have been completed in the tracker. I've played the entire SuperGrafx library this year, but it was before I started tracking times, so... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in addition to Aldynes, I own both Battle Ace and Madou King Granzort, the 2 missing SuperGrafx games, and I've been meaning to put some time into both of them anyway, so I might as well go ahead and complete the SuperGrafx library! I'm pretty sure I was the first person to play Aldynes, for that matter, after I checked the past trackers. What a weird system to be the first to be completed... There are no homebrew games for it that I know of, just a few tech demos like Chris Covell's Axelay demo. That's about it for the SuperGrafx. It would be a nice homebrew machine and I'd definitely consider getting some homebrew games for it, but due to its rarity and obscurity I highly doubt anyone would bother making games for it. That's really too bad because the SuperGrafx is awesome. Edited August 27, 2020 by Steven Pendleton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Aha. I forgot that the SuperGrafx has so few official games. Previously it was posted the library consists of 6 titles of which 1 is backwards compatible (with TurboGrafx?). Of course it plays PC Engine games as well but since we would count those as PCE games no matter which hardware they're played on, it isn't relevant for the discussion. I compiled a list two years ago, which looks something like this: 1: Atari Portfolio (though it runs a number of DOS games and there are homebrew games specific for it) 2: RDI Halycon (not really released) 3: Palmtex, Alf TV Game (Ukrainian ZX Spectrum clone), VTech 3D Gamate, XavixXPORT (1) 4: Telstar Arcade, Entex Adventure Vision, Colour Cartridge, Unisonic Champion 2711 5: Colorvision, Interton Video 2000, Philips Telespiel, Bandai TV Jack 5000, Action Max, Select-a-Game, HyperScan 6: SuperGrafx, Gakken TV Boy, Gakken Compact Vision, Nichibutsu My Vision, pre computer jr (?), Exidy Sorcerer 7: Video Brain (2), View-Master Interactive Vision, Bandai Super Vision 8000 8: PC-50x family, Nuon (plus 4 movies) 9: BBC Bridge Companion (all play bridge!) 10: Vtech Socrates, LJN Video Cart, RCA Studio II (15 with regional variants), Pokémon Mini (3), Casio Loopy 11: Epoch Cassette Vision, Microvision 12: APF M-1000 13: Milton Bradley Omni, Game Wave, Casio PV-1000 (1) The XavixXPORT has several games listed on Wikipedia, but perhaps most of them are built-in so only 2 or 3 cartridges for additional games? (2) The Video Brain had a total of 17 software packages, though only 7-8 can be viewed as games. (3) 4 games in America, 5 games in EU, 10 games in Japan Systems with 14+ different games were cut off from this list. The majority of the systems listed above have never been tracked here, which says something about how rare (and perhaps unplayable) they are. I suppose the Adventure Vision, the Action Max, the SuperGrafx, the PC-50x, the RCA Studio II, the Microvision and APF M-1000 are most likely to be completed in the future, though of course systems with 50-100 titles might reach that goal as well. If we look at the Atari 2600, thegoldenband compiled a list of known games not yet tracked of which some 20 titles still remain. Despite this, the tracker has more unique 2600 games than RomHunter's curated list of known games.

Previously it was posted the library consists of 6 titles of which 1 is backwards compatible (with TurboGrafx?). Of course it plays PC Engine games as well but since we would count those as PCE games no matter which hardware they're played on, it isn't relevant for the discussion. I compiled a list two years ago, which looks something like this: 1: Atari Portfolio (though it runs a number of DOS games and there are homebrew games specific for it) 2: RDI Halycon (not really released) 3: Palmtex, Alf TV Game (Ukrainian ZX Spectrum clone), VTech 3D Gamate, XavixXPORT (1) 4: Telstar Arcade, Entex Adventure Vision, Colour Cartridge, Unisonic Champion 2711 5: Colorvision, Interton Video 2000, Philips Telespiel, Bandai TV Jack 5000, Action Max, Select-a-Game, HyperScan 6: SuperGrafx, Gakken TV Boy, Gakken Compact Vision, Nichibutsu My Vision, pre computer jr (?), Exidy Sorcerer 7: Video Brain (2), View-Master Interactive Vision, Bandai Super Vision 8000 8: PC-50x family, Nuon (plus 4 movies) 9: BBC Bridge Companion (all play bridge!) 10: Vtech Socrates, LJN Video Cart, RCA Studio II (15 with regional variants), Pokémon Mini (3), Casio Loopy 11: Epoch Cassette Vision, Microvision 12: APF M-1000 13: Milton Bradley Omni, Game Wave, Casio PV-1000 (1) The XavixXPORT has several games listed on Wikipedia, but perhaps most of them are built-in so only 2 or 3 cartridges for additional games? (2) The Video Brain had a total of 17 software packages, though only 7-8 can be viewed as games. (3) 4 games in America, 5 games in EU, 10 games in Japan Systems with 14+ different games were cut off from this list. The majority of the systems listed above have never been tracked here, which says something about how rare (and perhaps unplayable) they are. I suppose the Adventure Vision, the Action Max, the SuperGrafx, the PC-50x, the RCA Studio II, the Microvision and APF M-1000 are most likely to be completed in the future, though of course systems with 50-100 titles might reach that goal as well. If we look at the Atari 2600, thegoldenband compiled a list of known games not yet tracked of which some 20 titles still remain. Despite this, the tracker has more unique 2600 games than RomHunter's curated list of known games. Even if we remove homebrews and demos from the list, and combing some of the obvious duplicates and misspellings, the tracker has more entries than it "should have" at the same time there are known games not yet tracked... Atari 2600 games not seen in the tracker: Reveal hidden contents Basic Math Berenstain Bears Codebreaker Eli's Ladder Gamma-Attack Glacier Patrol Glib Hunt & Score International Soccer IQ-180* Killer Satellites Math Gran Prix Out of Control Party Mix Star Fox Strawberry Shortcake Super Challenge Baseball Super Challenge Football Sword of Saros Video Jogger Video Reflex So basically the SuperGrafx has 5 games, which are, in release order (I think): Battle Ace Madou King Granzort Daimakaimura Aldynes 1941 Counter Attack The PC Engine game that gets enhanced on the SuperGrafx is Darius Plus, but the only thing it does is reduce sprite flicker, and that's it! In most places on the internet, it is written that Darius Alpha is SuperGrafx enhanced, and it even has a little thingy on its cover indicating that it is, but it actually isn't. Yes, that's right, the game's own cover art and the entire internet are wrong! Chris Covell looked into it earlier this year, and it seems that it was meant to be SuperGrafx enhanced, but the enhancements were not enabled on the production ROM, so it's actually not enhanced, even though it's supposed to be. Like you said, though, these are regular PC Engine games, anyway, and don't count for the SuperGrafx.

carlsson Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Cool! I went through the Excel sheet and found that the following systems have never been tracked: APF M-1000 (or MP-1000), Action Max, Epoch Cassette Vision, PC-50x (or SD-050 etc), View-Master Interactive Vision, plus all the even more obscure systems. There is a Gamate with 6 games, but I suppose it is different from the VTech 3D Gamate with only 3 games known. Casio PV-1000: 13 games known, 3 games tracked Entex Adventure Vision: 4 games known, 1 game tracked Microvision: 11 games known, 11 games tracked (so a completed library?!) RCA Studio II: 10 games in America (15 games worldwide), 19 games tracked including a lot of homebrews SuperGrafx: 5 games (6 with Darius Alpha) known, 3 games tracked I haven't checked if every official Studio II game are among the 19 games tracked, but if it is, that might be the second system after Microvision to possibly have the entire library tracked. If you play the remaining SuperGrafx games, that would the third system to reach that status. .. well, that is assuming none of the systems with 20+ known games have been fully tracked of course.

You know, it's kind of funny because I went to lunch with our CTO the other day and he actually had the Cassette Vision when he was younger. It's not a competition, of course, but I was planning on playing both Madou King Granzort and Battle Ace this week anyway, so I might as well knock out those last 2 SuperGrafx games just for fun. I'd like to have the entire SuperGrafx library by the end of the year, but 1941 Counter Attack is crazy expensive. That's too bad, since it's an awesome game, the best SuperGrafx game, I think, and also the only SuperGrafx game with multiplayer.

Just for clarity, that was a list of Atari 2600 games released in North America -- there were still a bunch of PAL games that could be added. There are also some fringe titles that were released in NTSC format but as bootlegs. For the overall list, as far as I know this blog entry from IHATETHEBEARS is still definitive -- -- and it looks like we both use it as a reference. I would think the Sega 32X can't be too far from a complete reckoning, though there is the complication of the four out-of-region exclusives (2 European, 1 Japanese, 1 Brazilian). 40 games total, as I recall. The Vectrex's original release library might be pretty close to 100% too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha, got it. It looks like the number of tracked 32X games hasn't changed since the end of 2018, so here's the word: Officially-released games untracked on the 32X (cartridge format): FIFA '96 (European exclusive), NFL Quarterback Club, RBI Baseball '95, Sangokushi IV (Japanese exclusive), Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Officially-released games untracked on the 32X CD: Slam City with Scottie Pippen, Surgical Strike (Brazilian exclusive) Unsurprising that it's mostly sports, plus a language barrier game, a super-rare Brazilian release, and the Star Trek game. On the Vectrex front, it looks like only three original releases are left, and equally unsurprising that they're all 3D games: Officially-released games untracked on the Vectrex: 3D Crazy Coaster, 3D Mine Storm, 3D Narrow Escape If I ever get the 3D imager or an equivalent replacement, I'll give them a whirl! Regarding the Protector/YASI thing, I actually found the post in question, which dates from 2009 when the tracker was young and spring was in the air: Unfortunately grandcross has under 50 posts, so I assume that poster is long gone, and probably wouldn't remember which game was played back in 2009 anyway. I'm guessing Protector, based on the difficulty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
