Here's what has been taken. List is continued from SS's list on first page. chas10e - Kool Aid Man & Elevator Action nosweargamer - Joust (NES) & Friday The 13th (NES) Atari Creep - MegaForce and Turmoil (Atari 2600) Mr Toon - Stampede & Jungle Hunt (Atari 2600) Gray Defender - Passed Control Issues - Golgo 13 (NES) and Zaxxon (2600) greenween - D&D (Intv) & Bayou Billy (NES) BlackCatz40 - Othello & Mario Bros.

Okay, here we go! The draft order is below. Some ground rules: I won't put a time limit on the picks, but try to be as efficient as possible. I realize everyone is located all over the map and keep varied hours, so there's no expectation on my end. Consoles/handhelds/lightswitches count as one pick, TWO (2) games count as a pick, FOUR (4) manuals count as a pick. Trading of picks is allowed. If you want to move up & offer up later picks, by all means, offer away. You may pass on your pick. Post your selections in this thread. Both Skyrim 360 games count as one game. Games that had matching manuals in the loose pile of manuals will now be included with the game.. My only goal is to get rid of everything. 😀 I THINK that covers everything. If there are any questions, please ask away. HAVE FUN!!

I'm going all golf this time NES Jack Nicklaus and Genesis PGA Europe please and thank you.

Oh yes, tells you how close I am paying attention how about Kinectimals (Kinect) ?

LOL. Now it's @BlackCatz40 turn.

@Mr Toon see what you did? Now neither of us have it. Hope you're happy now. haha

Just got home from work. I'm going to figure out what's left and post my picks soon.

97450. I did this on a live stream tonight, around the 8:00 mark. First time I've played this game in a long time! Gave the site some shout outs too.

They have not been taken, so they are yours! @greenween is next!

John Champeau proves once again why he's the best at doing arcade ports for the VCS (and puts the 7800 version to shame in the process):

Night Stalker Intellivision Controller: CONTROLLER / MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS / KEYBOARD / PLAYER'S CHOICE Difficulty Level: Game Speed 3 (Button 1) SINGLE LIFE: Achieve high score using only one life to win challenge Play on: Real Hardware / Dedicated Console / MAME / Emulation OK! ✔ Squad Challenge ends 11:59 pm PST May 14th, 2019 OBJECTIVE: Play for the highest possible score using the difficulty settings defined in the challenge. Post a photo or video of your score in this thread. Scores must be achieved between May 1st through May 14th, 2019. Screen captures are not allowed as they are easily manipulated for falsified scores. Multiple submissions are permitted. The player with the highest score at the end of the competition is the victor! ELIGIBILITY: Anyone can join in. All players are welcome! PLAY RULES: Games may be played on real hardware, Flashback or emulation, using any controller or keyboard, following rules and game settings as delineated in the Squad Challenge. The use of multiple controllers is allowed in this challenge. Enhancements, rewinds and hacked versions of this game are not allowed. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Speed 3, Single Life Run. Speed 3 is the next-to-fastest play speed for this game. Please take note that Speed 3 on the Overlay is actually BUTTON 1 on the Controller itself. It's weird and confusing that they would do this, especially given how often players lost their overlays. SINGLE LIFE RUN: You are only allowed ONE LIFE to achieve your high score in this Squad Challenge. FAIR PLAY: Players should play fairly, be honest, and have fun! Falsified scores will result in your immediate removal from the site. It goes without saying that no use of cheats, hacks, cartridge frying, enhancements, rewinds, Photoshop, subterfuge, or any other unfair advantage is allowed. Everybody hates a cheater.

Okay, I will remove the manuals that have matching games from the list & include them with the games. Thanks all!!

Thank you Matt! I will pick Luigi's Mansion and Mario Golf for Gamecube.

Well, sort of. This thing is super cool! Get the rest and I can have my own arcade Galaxian has always been my favorite of the two (Galaxian/Galaga). Thanks to my wife for an awesome birthday gift.

alrghty then: "Cars" (xb360) & " Lego Indiana Jones " (xb360) @RickR-b-next I concur

I'm sharing a few pictures from a road trip to Seattle, which is about 150 miles north of my home in Portland. We went to visit our second son, who is attending school up there. We visited a thriving mall (SouthCenter) that had an actual open Sears, and a crazy Japanese store that sold really cool t-shirts (I got a Super Mario shirt). Downtown Seattle is built on a steep hill, and to explore, you'll go up and down TONS of stairs. Stairs, stairs, and more stairs. That leaves you with a guaranteed souvenir: sore legs. But it's clean air and good exercise! We saw a Pixar orchestra concert, which was sweet. Cruise ships and tall buildings galore. What a beautiful place.

i'll take laser blast and skiing for the 2600 please

Hi everyone, thought this was interesting coming back from Vegas today at the state line. Everyone is trying to cash in on the retro gaming craze... lol

97,400. Just 50 points behind @nosweargamer!

I'll go with PGA 3 for the Genesis and the Generator demo disc for the Dreamcast. Making it a Sega round for me. 😃

I would also then take Championship Soccer for A2600 and Sneak King for the XBOX 360. There. Those are my two picks.

Nice! @BlackCatz40 gets TWO picks, followed by another pick by @greenween

Well dang, I got to go with D&D for Intellevision and Bayou Billy for the NES.

Absolutely can! One of the first games I played on Sega Master System at my friend's house was F-16 Fighting Falcon. It was my first time seeing a Sega Card. I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen! This was before the TurboGrafx-16 came out. The Sega Cards were less expensive than regular game cartridges and F-16 Fighting Falcon wasn't that impressive of a game, honestly this is one example where the XEGS may have outshined the SMS with Flight Simulator II. But playing video games on something the size of a credit card seemed really impressive. The other thing that stood out to me was using dual controllers to play F-16 Fighting Falcon. My friend and I (we were kids at the time) made a really cool "cockpit" out of cardboard boxes and magic marker. We taped the two Sega Master System controllers to our cardboard cockpit and flew what we thought were the coolest missions. Our cardboard controller beat Nintendo Labo by 30 years.

Alright, Stampede & Jungle Hunt are gone. D&D is still available. @GRay Defender is next!

yes final answer

Just want to make sure that's your pick, since D&D was still available.

I'll go with NES Xevious and Commando. Anyone remember the wild pie fight between Marc Summers and Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show? Burt was in a bad mood, but Marc didn't do himself any favors by escalating the situation.

To announce my next pick, please welcome TV personality, Marc Summers! With the 20th Pick of the 2019 StrormSurge Draft, NSG selects 3-D Worldrunner (NES) & oh.....what's this? What a pleasant surprise! Double Dare (NES) !!! @chas10e is next!

atlantis (intellivision) and metal gear(nes) thank you again

I pick the Tandyvision one

After BlackCatz picks, here's the next few: @Willie!, then @greenween, followed by @Control Issues, @GRay Defender & @Mr Toon I'll be off the grid for a few hours, so play nicely & try to keep track on your own until I can update everything. And keep going as long as you can! Just refer to the order at the top of the thread.

Then I will take, for my pick, "GIJoe: Cobra Strike" and "The Activision Decathlon," for the A2600. Let me decide on the next pick in a few minutes. Thanks.

I will take the Mattel Football handheld electronic game

chas10e chooses: Atari 2600 "Pigs in Space" & NES "Bomberman" Thanks

RickR chooses: Boxed Alien for Atari 2600 and Gamecube Star Wars Rebel Strike. RickR thanks you most kindly.

This, please...

why am I not surprised Even the randomizer loves him...well we all do actually

Coming in at pick number 4.... chas10e Running list... 12. BlackCatz40 11. Willie! 10. greenween 9. Control Issues 8. GRay Defender 7. Mr Toon 6. Atari Creep 5. nosweargamer 4. chas10e 3.

Coming in at pick number 9.... Control Issues Running list... 12. BlackCatz40 11. Willie! 10. greenween 9. Control Issues 8.

That's a better idea than a maze game where you are trying to guide a drunk ET through a house, while at the same time guiding Elliot through a classroom avoiding frogs. (When Spielberg asked for a maze game, this must've been what he had in mind) Sorry Rick.😔 I had several games in the 600-800 range, but then I was finally able to destroy the first wave, which gave me some breathing room (in most games an AT-AT reaches the end before I lose my lives. They move pretty fast in this variation). 1664

1142. Oh for the love of God, no one beat this score -- I don't think I could do any better. RE: The variations. This particular game I would never go beyond the "easy" levels because even "easy" was too hard to me.

May the force be with you all!!!!!! 999 so far, Playing on open emu just for recording purposes and using a usb game pad.

I'm going to need it. I'm not good at this game!

This is a game in which the best controller scheme is to use TWO controllers. One for direction, the other for firing. One in each hand. I will give it a go soon.

16,200, using my Intellivision II. The controls really do leave a lot to be desired. My strategy is it shoot exclusively bats until just before I get 5,000, then I switch to only destroying the shooting enemy and the spider.

💰 Have you ever found a Red Quarter? What did you think it was? Red quarters are known as “shills”, “house coins” or “freebies.” If you’ve ever found an old quarter that was painted red, (usually dated before the ‘90s) those were used in Arcades to count free plays. Whenever the machine ate your quarter without giving you your game, you’d tell the attendant who would give you a free game to make up for it. Sometimes they had the key to open the coin mech and hit the switch, but in many cases Arcade owners didn’t trust their teenaged employees to have coin mech keys where they could reach in there and grab a fist full of quarters. Instead, Arcades would have extra quarters called “shills” or “house coins” used for this purpose. Sometimes these could also be found in laundromats and diners with jukeboxes. House coins were painted red so that at the end of each week, when all the quarters were counted from the coin box, they would subtract the red quarters from their earnings and return them to the attendants to be used again. Over time most of these quarters have made their way back into circulation. The next time you come across a red quarter dated before the early 1990s set it aside! You never know if that quarter worked long hours at an old Tilt or Aladdin’s Castle somewhere.
