Skippy B. Coyote Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 It was a pretty easy going week for me this week. I played some more Alien: Isolation on the Switch and a bunch of Atari 2600 games for the high score club, and... well, that's pretty much it!

To be fair (and so I don't feel so bad about it, lol), Tiny Tina released for me at 11pm US Central time on Thursday the 24th, so I had ample time to sink my teeth into it over the weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 So when Wikipedia writes release date for something worldwide, it probably means UTC date and people west of Great Britain may get to play it on the late hours the date before its release, while people in Japan and Australia might only have it at the very end of the release date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually happened to me literally last night; Death Stranding Director's Cut released at 2330 last night for some reason. Haven't played it yet, though. Waiting for tasty new monitor tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Decided to finish Flowers Spring this week, so that got most of the time. Finished it like 5 minutes before midnight... that was close. On to the next game. PC Andro Dunos II - 271 Flowers -Le volume sur printemps- - 721 G-Darius HD - 38 G-Darius Ver. 2 HD - 9 PS4 Battle Garegga Rev.2016 - 13 Yeah, I totally met this game's composer yesterday somehow and we talked about this game for a little while. I still can't believe it myself. A badass game with an incredible soundtrack that will light you on FIRE. Play it. Kyuukyoku Tiger - 270 Twin Cobra - 17 Arcade Great Mahou Daisakusen - 5 This is probably now the oldest arcade game in the modern tracker, as it was apparently released on Jan 21, 2000. I basically just played it to test the MiSTer. I do need to play more Raizing games. Twin Tiger Shark - not the SAME! - 10 So this Twin Tiger Shark - not the SAME! game is a new arcade game that was released somewhere between like September ~ November of last year, so I think we have a new newest arcade game in the tracker. Two records at once this time...? A glace at the title immediately tells you this is a tribute to Toaplan in general and specifically to Hishouzame, but there's a little bit of Kyuukyoku Tiger and Out Zone in here as well. If you like Hishouzame, play this game because it's good... if you can find it. Switch Kyuukyoku Tiger - 53 Sennou Game Teki-Paki - 10 Tiger-Heli - 16 Twin Cobra - 28 MiSTer Chess - 4 Yes, there is a chess thing on the MiSTer! The AI sucks, though, as I beat it in 3 minutes and 40 seconds on my first time playing against it. The AI traded its queen for a pawn... seriously? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltigro Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 My modern stuff... It was a Microsoft week... XBox Forza Motorsport - 170 min (May be getting tired of this one. It is a fun racing game and definitely better than I expected (and I think better than GT4). If you have an OG Xbox, I'd suggest it. It's really not too far from the more recently Forza Motorsport games.) XBox 360 Raiden IV - 10 min (I like the Raiden series, but I'm not that great at them. I kept going on this one and got further than I have before. I was actually using the continues this time instead of just stopping when I ran out of lives.) PC Forza Horizon 5 - 120 min (Played a bit to run some rivals races. Def a fun racing game, but after a bit, I just got tired of it and quit playing. It's great with friends, but alone, after all the races have been run, it just gets repetitive.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiSTer runs on Linux, but it has several original games like that chess game that run in their own special little cores, I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 It was a breakout week for me... I mean, Breakout. Apple iOS: Duolingo - 75 minutes The owl is threatening me… Pikmin Bloom - 79 minutes Atari VCS: Breakout Recharged - 20 minutes Nintendo DS: New Zealand Story Revolution - 25 minutes Interesting reworking of the original game. Less frustating in some ways, particularly with the flying sections. Nintendo Switch: Breakout Recharged - 150 minutes Sony PSP: Sega Rally Revo - 25 minutes I am terrible but it is fun. Sony PS Vita: Soldner-X 2 - 25 minutes SuperImpact Tiny Arcade: Warlords - 25 minutes It's really fun despite some AI bugs. Probably the most fun game on the World's Smallest Atari 2600-Shaped Raspberry Pi Simulator. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) This week I don't have any times to add, but I have a modern gaming related story. Besides working on an old TV and rearranging shelving in my room, I went to my storage unit a couple times and brought home all my original Xbox and Xbox 360 games plus a portion of my PS2 games that I could carry in 3 or 4 backpacks. I am making a visual inventory of my games using pictures mostly from Gamefaqs. So far I've done all the modern consoles except for games that I left in storage. I know I still have some DS, PSP and PS2 games in there (and 2 Vita games). It's frustrating trying not to pick up doubles when I don't even remember what I still have. I get confused with things I used to own sometimes and pass up stuff I should have probably re-bought. Other confusion comes from having parts of a series on one system and some on another. Example: I have The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King on Xbox, but only have The Two Towers on PS2.

Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 A pretty laid back week for me this week on account of other hobbies being a bit distracting, but I did still manage to get in some gaming time! I spent most of my gaming time just finishing up a Hard difficulty playthrough of Alien: Isolation on the Switch, then played some Guardian for the Atari 2600 High Score Club as well as a bit of Princess Rescue just for my own enjoyment Ineligible (All Atari 2600) Guardian - 56 minutes Princess Rescue - 43 minutes Nintendo Switch Alien: Isolation - 620 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week 719 minutes (11 hours 59 minutes) [620 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week Nintendo Switch: 620 minutes Atari 2600: 99 minutes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Going to bed early today. I forgot if I posted Darius Gaiden here or in the old arcade tracker previously, but it's M2, but I'd be surprised if they didn't modify the code in some way to get it running perfectly instead of just putting it in an emulator, so it's likely fair to put it here. PC Darius Gaiden - 11 Flowers -Le volume sur été- - 43 G-Darius HD - 8 PS4 Battle Garegga Rev.2016 - 34 Kyuukyoku Tiger - 378 Twin Cobra - 18 Switch Kyuukyoku Tiger - 55 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Only one modern game for me this week... PC Sea of Thieves - 240 min (Another Twitch streamer was talking about playing this one with me on stream, so I downloaded it and started it up so I'd know what I was doing. It's pretty, I'll give it that. But it is definitely not made for single player. It's doable, but it's cumbersome. It should be fun once I'm in there with someone I know.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
