  1. L'Abbaye des Morts 2019 Collectorvision for ColecoVision. A platformer that plays like Montezuma's Revenge. A lot of time needs to be put into this in order to learn where to go, when & where to jump, and what to do in general. Nice box art, cart, and manual. The game itself is enjoyable but a real challenge.

  2. Super Action Football from 1983 lets you kick punts, field goals, and extra points. Recover fumbles, score safties, or pull a blitz and sack the quarterback. Helmet not included. It's good to see football is starting this weekend. But why does the photo of the overlay on the back of the box look different than what's actually included?

  3. I got 43,950 and maybe stage 15 but I'm going for 50K. Ships are worth more points in flight but the main thing is to shoot the emissaries first, the purple ones. And you can sort of steer the direction they move by positioning yourself so they fly back towards you. Once you get rid of them the green ships are easy and slow moving. When you see the red escorts shoot them first followed by the white flagship. It's not easy to do but it gives you 800 points. I really focus more on the purple guys then shoot everything else whether it's in flight or not.

    The orange border is a weird choice is all.  It would have been easy to program it as black.  I don't mind it.  Given that there's no moving star field, it doesn't impact anything.  The game was well-received back in 1983.  "Pretty good" was the consensus I think. 

    I'll try to play the hacks at some point today.  I'm guessing it will be ok, but not as life-altering as the Pac-Man hacks and improvements. 

    PS - those purple guys are the worst!  They are responsible for 90% of my life losses. 

     

    I take the purple guys out first which makes it easier to survive.

  5. It was my first time playing this even though I do own the cartridge, just don't have a 7800 system. I played about 10 games and learned I need to put more time into this for a better score. I won't have time to submit another score but it does give me plenty of time to practice for 2021! I finished with 31,750.

  6. I've watched 3 episodes so far and really enjoy it. The music and narration by Charles Martinet are great. I like the topics they cover and how they switch back and forth between locations in the United States and Japan. When a new topic begins or a person is introduced they don't give you info on where the story is heading but as it unfolds and becomes clear I find it very interesting.
