G-type

Really great stuff! I appreciate you going the extra mile. I was super into quirky stylus driven DS games back when that system was out (Pac Pix, Trauma Center, Elite beat Agents, Kirby Canvas Curse, etc) , but I never tried Skate it. Makes me interested to check it out

The dirt common Ataris are .50, but unless you want to keep stockpiling dozens duplicates in lots by the truckload, eventually you'll have to shell out $5 to $20 bucks to get the some of the harder to find titles, and of course the true rare carts will always be expensive.

How do your kung fu skills transfer from NES to Atari? I kind of suck at both, but I've at least looped the NES version. Here, I only made it to the 3rd floor.

Games where you can make your own stuff: ZZT, Warioware DIY and although I don't personally have any interest in it: Minecraft would qualify

Frogger 2 is pretty confusing unless you look in the manual to see what is safe to step and what is dangerous. Each level consists of 3 screens: underwater Safe: Sea Turtle Danger: everything else get bubbles for points goal: fill the berths in the 3 logs advance to next surface by landing on a non-hole section of log Surface everything is safe except the boat, the hippos when standing, or the mama duck if she catches you riding on her babies turtles and whales dive intermittently and lilly pads disappear when you step off them. goal: fill the life preserver berth dragging behind the boat jump in water to get to previous screen, or jump on mama duck to advance to the air Air jump and get progressively higher with each hop get butterflies for points Safe: Zepplins, birds Danger: Dragons, Airplanes, bats, black edges Goal: Get into the cloud berth fall through hole in bouncy cloud to return to the surface.

This is basically NA 2: electric boogaloo

December Challenge: Sequels There weren't a ton of part 2's for the Atari library, and the ones that were made tend to be overshadowed by the more well known original. You have until midnight (VGS time) Decemeber 31, to post your scores to earn badges. Pitfall 2: challenge score 99k (199k perfect score) River Raid 2: Challenge score 60k (Game 1/a/b) Frogger 2: Challenge score 5k Qberts Qubes: Challenge score 60k (GAME 1/A/A)

The Grim Reapers in kid Icarus are scary when you first encounter them, but then they just get annoying once you realize you have farm their reaper birdies for xp

The 2600 version, Dark Cavern is pretty damn fun

I feel like I should be able to do better than this, but there's something about the randomness that always gets me.

Each challenge is intended to be a month challenge. Because the Ninatari Challenge didn't start on the Nov.1 to get a full month, I'm extending the deadline to Decemeber 7. Post ANY score for all 7 games to earn your participation point. The challenge scores will still be applicable throughout the year to earn a challenge badge with your high score. New challenge for December coming tomorrow.

God damn do I love The Coup. Boots is the shit!

I get seeing Atari hate out in the wild with people who are used to 4k resolution open worlds, but here? On a website for old farts who collect old games? shocking.

$1 mil? that might cover my kids college tuition in 2033 ok the fun answer is: build a home arcade

When the guy asked for a million dollars, I was hoping he would go "Fuck you!" and throw him out. Oh well.

I just got on the early access for the new Five Nights at Freddy's AR game: Special Delivery. Anyone else check it out yet? It's very unlike any other FNAF game, It's a free-to-play. I am told its similar to Pokemon Go in some ways, although I've never tried that one. The game play is a bit repetitive and sometimes it can be hard to figure out how you are supposed to respond to the various animatronics

Got the hang of Popeye

I don't. I ruined my voice screaming in a punk band as a teenager.

My voice sounds like I chainsmoke and drink whiskey all day.

I just don't care for RPGs, so I would pretend I didn't know that.

Platformer - Super Mario Bros. Arcade - Burgertime Sports - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out RPG - The Legend of Zelda (even though I don't consider this an RPG) Adventure - Metroid Racing - RC Pro Am Shooter - Lifeforce Beat'emup - Battletoads Puzzle - Dr. Mario Zapper - Duckhunt (kinda boring answer, but its obviously the standard)

I read this book a few years ago. Its not as fresh in my head to discuss it in detail, but I do remember it was enjoyable, but not the best. (I also preferred Console Wars)
