2600lover #1 Posted August 11, 2006 Im baaaackkkk! Hello again everyone! I was just thinking about the slogan, and do you play everyday? If so what game(s) do you play daily? Just thought it would make a good question, and I wanted to know anyway. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow460 #2 Posted August 11, 2006 I usually spend about a half hour or so playing every couple or three days. I play longer when I'm playing through a game like Willow or Gran Turismo 4. As for system, well, I just pick a game and plug it into the correct console, be it anything from Video Computer System to PlayStation 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keilbaca #3 Posted August 11, 2006 I usually play every other day or so, I just have too much to do to be able to play games every day. I usually play the current game for the HSC, Quadrun, or if I have a lot of time to kill, keep attempting to max out Crackpots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Thag #4 Posted August 11, 2006 Sometimes, if I'm in the mood I will. Other times, espcially when work gets busy, I will not play for months. Right now, it's Xenphobe, Go Fish, and Galaxian, off and on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now, it's Xenphobe, Go Fish, and Galaxian, off and on. Same here, just played 2600 Asteroids on the Atari 80 games CD-ROM last week. That was the only Atari I played this month. I might play some more this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Climber #7 Posted August 11, 2006 Just about, sometimes I'm too lazy to hook it up. (I still haven't picked up the piece where you don't have to disconnect your cable to play Atari) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the 5th ghost #14 Posted August 12, 2006 I usually play every other day or so, I just have too much to do to be able to play games every day. I usually play the current game for the HSC, Quadrun, or if I have a lot of time to kill, keep attempting to max out Crackpots. Get 1 million on Quadrun yet? According to DP, the Quadrun champ from back in the day hit over 800K, but didn't reach I million. My 295K score should be getting posted by TG soon, so you better get crackin!

JaguarManiac #16 Posted August 12, 2006 A few weeks ago I bought a video beamer and since then I have been playing nearly everday day for one or two hours. It's just so cool with the BIG screen. But with family I also only have time in the evening - if I'd were a teenager again I would surely play several hours a day! My favourite games at the moment are Tempest 2k (Jag of course) and Rez on the Dreamcast - these two sure rock in a darkended room with a picture as big as your livingroom-wall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 295K score should be getting posted by TG soon, so you better get crackin! *shakes head* not yet... for some reason those damn brats I can't hit 100% all the time, and that's usually the killer for me. Been waaaay too busy lately. Between fixing stuff for friends, modding my guitar hero controller and improving my scores on there, trying to move my arcades upstairs, trying to potty train two dogs, throwing work into the mix, and I have very little time to play this week's game on the HSC let alone trying to improve scores on Quadrun or trying to max out Crackpots.

Cybergoth #23 Posted August 15, 2006 I think I play about an hour on weekdays and some more on weekends. What I play changes often though. On the 2600 I play(test) mostly homebrew WIPs and I occasionally join the HSC for a game striking my interest. Then I spend a lot of time MARPing Since Kroko just repaired my Coleco, I also need to catch up here some, since I have collected about 20 games for it by now The rest I'm playing other consoles I'm collecting for, like NES and SMS or any other modern Windows, Console or NDS/PSP games.

Captain Beard #24 Posted August 15, 2006 I've been playing almost everyday since I pulled my 2600 out of storage about a month or so ago. Of course, I work at home, so it's easy to find the time. That said, I've also managed to host a few Atari parties - I'm amazed how little a few beers affect my gameplay (after all, I never played'em drunk back in the day, what me being a pre-teen and all.) Games that I play pretty much daily: Berzerk, Frostbite, Solar Fox, Stampede, Bump 'N' Jump, Carnival, Kool-Aid Man, Seaquest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snorlaxnut #25 Posted August 15, 2006 Today I got out the 2600 and played for about an hour. Now I am happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
