Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) I agree, Waterworld isn't bad. I haven't played the SNES Waterworld, but I've played the VB one, which gets a lot of shade for being basically Asteroids but commanding $100+. The GB one is a completely different game, and I don't mind it. Edit: oh you were talking about VB Waterworld lol. I don't mind that one either. It's very immersive if you're playing on a real VB. I went ahead and did my annual duty as the only Tesserae player in the world. One of the best ending screens on the GB.

Yup I've never touched the other ones, but I do own the VB one and it's pretty fun when you're playing it as it was intended. I guess Asteroids makes sense, but in a way it's almost like a reverse tower defense of sorts, or like an endless space combat sim defense/escort mission picking off enemy fighters.

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Amazing penguin Decided up finish this off with continues after the weekly contest. The last level was an interesting twist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatthegameboy | 10 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Heya! Finally remembered where this moved. Fish Dude beat. Never played this one and picked it based on silly name. Super fun game! I'll play this one some more most likely. Next up I'll see if I can get through Zoop, but damn it gets hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been starting on level 9 directly, but it might be a good idea to start before that so that you have a supply of springs going into 9. But I was bad at level 8 too so I never really put together a real winning strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep poking at it, but I have to play something else too or I'd get burnt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I can't believe no one has done tetris yet. So here it is. I'm going to keep playing A-type your the weekly competition, but it was fun to play B-type too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatthegameboy | 10 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Knocked out Rocky and Bullwinkle. Level 1 was a learning experience, level 2 was a frustrating experience, level 3 was fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Beat Casper on a busted SP. (it's a different one that's been broken forever.) Fitting to play a buggy game on a buggy console. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I feel if I start contributing on this I almost have to call a game out so it doesn't get gobbled up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it! I'm expecting to work on a handful of games that are quick enough that it's no biggie if someone beats me to them, with the exception of Tetris Plus. I'm determined to beat that one. I can pound out Tetris all day, but for some reason I've never managed to beat the final levels of Tetris Plus. The professor guy is SO DUMB. My cart needs a new battery though, so I'll change it tonight and get cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriGuy82 | 765 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) There's only 5 levels in the GB version of Marble Madness apparently. I looped it a few times to see if level 6 would show up, but it didn't. Very cheesey compared to the NES version which is one of my favorites.

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Mario's picross is done I love Picross and it's been a while since I played one. I also did the easy levels for the heck of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cart needs a new battery though, so I'll change it tonight and get cracking. I should, and right now I'm motivated. You saw in the pick up thread what I got back in my hands, and it's right here on the table next to me, as is my TFT lit up GBC too, and the DMG kit will arrive next week sadly it appears so that as well. I'll have much GB on hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell there are only two good console ports of Marble Madness: the NES one, and the Japanese-exclusive version published by Tengen (not Electronic Arts) for Mega Drive. Everything else is trash: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Master System, Game Gear, etc. The Electronic Arts port for Genesis is maybe barely passable, but it really has no excuse for not being as good as the Tengen version. (Too bad the PC Engine port didn't come out -- that one looked likely to be good.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 In the meantime I beat Wildsnake. The credits took me by surprise because I thought there were 10 challenges, but there were 8. I reached for my phone to take a picture but the credits ended and dumped me back to the title screen.
