Beat Outrun. Did the rightmost route all the way. Not sure if you need all endings. I love Outrun. This port is pretty good for the Master System. Although it always bugged me that Rad Racer was so much smoother.

Transbot is done. Yeah this kinda sucks. Shoot em ups are my favorite genre. This is only 2 levels? Well it is a card game

Very cool! I've kind of neglected the Master System. I do enjoy the system though. I don't own many games, but there are a few I'm sure I could knock out. Maybe I'll learn how to beat some for the first time.

Beat Operation C! This one was kind of tough.

Nice one! This will be interesting. Score update

Oh boy. I was going to attempt a score today. But instead I'm playing the game: did my console die or ac adapter die?

See, that's what I love about these contests. Really getting to know and learn about a game. I've had this game for years but I'd never put in the time to really learn about all of its mechanics. Tapper is a lot deeper than you'd think. I definitely have much more appreciation for the game now. It's becoming one of my favorites. Also it really is impressive for a 2600 game. It's got detailed characters with personality (love the sci-fi bar with aliens!), and multiple songs in it. Frogger is the only other 2600 game I can think of with a lot of song variety.

I cleaned the button pads on my genesis controller. That seemed to help a lot because many of my inputs weren't registering.

Thanks! It's not much higher than yours. I'm sure we both have similar strats. This could be a close one.

Score update. Now it's getting real.

25 imports please! shoot, I think I'm like 3 games away from 50

Try not to rage and break your console like I did. ..jk

I paid for a bootleg video game OST on vinyl in 2018 from a shady label. I'm still waiting! BUT it should be finally shipping this week. Never again...

WOW. I've been playing this for a couple hours this week. And I just accidently found out you can walk left and right. Wtffff How can I play this for so long and Never hit the left or right button?

How important is it to have a HIGH SPEED HDMI cable for 4k blu ray players? I know it can transfer more data quicker, but is it essential? We got the Lord of the Rings Trilogy box set.

@SumezGreat pick with Deadly Premonition! I was actually considering using the whistle theme for mine. I had a blast playing the game for the first time last year. One of the most bizarre gaming experiences I've had was when that weird cover of Amazing Grace starts playing as you play as the Raincoat Killer. I'll have to listen to the other tracks again. I'm considering playing the second game. I hear that one may have mixed reception.

Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up. I don't understand why Vic Tokai published Columns III and Shinobi Legions, both Sega properties.

Very cool pictures. What is that Famicom cart?

What the heck happened with Shantae and the Pirate's Curse on Switch? Its going for like $225 used for the standard edition. Luckily, that is one of the few LRG games I bought from them. Are other LRG games seeing that jump too?

@ZeldaFreakThank you for posting that Terraria jungle track! I haven't heard that song in years and I forgot how great it is! I played a bunch of Terraria many years ago when it was free on 360 with Gold. I've got to listen to that OST again!

Hard Mode: Day 1: intro [Gizmondo] [2005] Sticky Balls - Intro Easiest pick ever. The first thing I immediately thought of. Day 2: title [Amiga] [1991] Turrican II - Title Theme What an epic track. Incredible soundtrack. Day 3: menu [Gamecube] [2001] Super Smash Bros. Melee - Menu I had to pick this. This song has been permanently burned into my brain since childhood. Day 4: heroic [Neo Geo] [1990] Magician Lord - Stage 4 Castle of Devils This one is pretty heroic to me. Especially at 1:12. Imagine our hero infiltrating an evil castle. Day 5: forest [Genesis] [1994] Mr. Nutz - Woody Land 1&2 I like the Genesis OST over the SNES one. I love the part at 1:12. Very nice, relaxing instrumentation. Day 6: dislike [SNES] [1991] Super R-Type - National Anthem of Bydo Empire Shoot em ups are my favorite genre. But I can never get into R-Type no matter how many times I try. This is a great song though! Day 7: rock music [Saturn] [1996] Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition - The American Dream From the lesser known Daytona game. This song is hilarious. It sounds like a legit song. God, I love SEGA game music. The lead singer from Mr. Big performs the vocals on this soundtrack. Day 8: educational [NES] [1989] Sesame Street 1-2-3 - Ernie's Magic Shapes I mean, you can't go wrong with Rare's David Wise Day 9: since 2010 [Wii U] [2015] Yoshi's Wooly World - Wonderful World of Wool 6 I love this game and its OST. I recently acquired the soundtrack on vinyl. Day 10: underrated [Genesis] [1993] Socket - Antiquity Vic Tokai KILLED it with their Sega Genesis OSTs. This was a tough pick. People need to know about Socket, Columns III, Battle Mania, Decap Attack, etc. Day 11: on the seas [SNES] [1995] Waterworld - Diving I hope this one isn't too much of a stretch. As this one is more *in* the seas than *on* the seas. I've loved this song for a long time. It comes out to almost 6 minutes long! This song was also ported to the Virtual Boy. I think the SNES arrangement is better. The original composer, Dean Evans, uploaded the song himself to Youtube! Many games by Ocean are often mediocre but they almost always do a great job with the music. Check it out. Day 12: never played [Genesis] [1992] Superman - Stage 5 This song is incredible. Especially when 1:27 kicks in. Sunsoft knocking it out of the park again with their music. This is late era Sunsoft, just before they began outsourcing all their games to crappy western developers. Day 13: unused [NES] [1992] Gimmick! - Strange Memories of Death I truly believe Gimmick is the greatest NES soundtrack ever made. Honestly. If you haven't listened to its OST, get on it! The Famicom cartridge uses a special chip to enhance the music even further. Day 14: ambient [N64 DD] [1999] Mario Artist: Paint Studio - The Ocean Floor (Track 1) This is an obscure pick. The Mario Artist games on the N64DD have very interesting soundtracks. They are all over the place and sometimes bizarre. Day 15: boss [Genesis] [1992] Super Fantasy Zone - Ya-Da-Ne Does any other final boss theme get any more intense than this? Super Fantasy Zone's soundtrack is incredible. I think my list is becoming rather Sunsoft heavy. But can you blame me? Day 16: evil [Genesis] [1995] The Adventures of Batman and Robin - Joker's Theme This soundtrack by Jesper Kyd is crazy. Day 17: medley [NES] [1993] Mega Man 6 - Ending I love Mega Man 6. I like how the ending credits features scenes and music from every level. Day 18: pumped [Turbografx 16] [1992] Air Zonk - Stage 3 Pock'n Stadium Day 19: modern retro [PC] [2013] Rad Raygun - Berlin This soundtrack is great! Its done by Fantomenk whose music I love. I met the dev of this game at an SGC convention in 2013. He gave me a free CD of this soundtrack. I've listened to it a bunch and even loaded the songs onto my 360 from the disc. Remember when you could do that? Day 20: winter [Genesis] [1995] Ristar - Round 5-2 Ice Scream Love Ristar's OST! I had a real tough time deciding between this or Sonic 3D Blast. Day 21: Follin bros. [NES] [1990] Target: Renegade - Level 1 Day 22: samples [Neo Geo] [1992] Viewpoint - F.O.B. Biotron Mix- Final Awesome music in this one. One of its tracks uses James Brown samples. Day 23: chaotic [Saturn] [1997] Sega Touring Car Championship - Don't Drop Me This is the definition of high energy. Sega was definitely going for a 90s euro dance vibe with this racing game OST. I made a playlist on Youtube of Saturn games with vocals. There are a lot of fun! Day 24: Sega exclusive [Sega 32X] [1994] Cosmic Carnage - Cylic's Stage Fully Armored I had a lot a lot of trouble deciding between 3 tracks in this game. I love Sega music. Day 25: siivagunner [SNES] [1994/1989] Eek! The Cat - Opening Movie (JP Version) This one is so pleasant to listen to. Day 26: classical [Neo Geo] [1992/1791] Fatal Fury 2 - Dies Irae (Wolfgang Krauser's Theme) Day 27: outer space [Gamecube] [2003] Kirby Air Ride - Nebula Belt Day 28: final stage [TurboGrafx-16] [1989] Ordyne - Stage 7 Day 29: final boss [Genesis] [1994] Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Final Boss Day 30: credits [Saturn] [1996] NiGHTS into Dreams - Dreams Dreams

They Live is one I've had my eye on. I love it. Thats one that I need to get my friends to watch. They like other Carpenter movies but they think They Live looks too goofy to give it a go.

Great write up! This is so cool. I love seeing pre-DK games from Nintendo. An interesting time for the company for sure. Largely unknown with no hits to their name. Those sound effects are great. You can clearly hear Donkey Kong's sounds from there.

I love movies and I get excited everytime I read about new restorations of older films. We just acquired a 4K Blu Ray player with the intention of trying out our 4k tv. Strangely, although I have such a passion for physical video games, I dont have as strong of a desire to own physical movies. Perhaps it is because I don't rewatch movies as much as I replay video games. I have fallen victim to digital streaming for movies, but never will for gaming. Anyway, I've been wanting to try some 4k discs, but only on discount! I can't justify paying $20-30 for 1 movie. I love old and classic films and there have been some exciting releases recently. For example, Touch of Evil (1958) was just announced as a 4k Blu Ray! So what are your experiences with 4K Blu Rays? I'm looking to get started.
